Base capturing was previously set up for two factions, and it was necessary to rework it to provide better player feedback. A new state has been added: Contesting.
The core of capturing is still identical. Have more friendly characters in the capture zone than the opposing factions to start the process. The in-between state is what has changed.
If the defenders are outnumbered and no capture is occurring, the base will change to a "contested" state. A capture can be prevented (and so contested will happen) due to
FIA (who is unable to capture entirely)
The factions fighting over the point being equal in number
Either of the major factions trying to capture without a radio connection
When a base is contested, defenders are unable to spawn on the base for as long as it remains contested. This is shown on the map with a soft red glow around the base.
Though this is a "nerf" to defenders for spawning, they now get more information to work with. It should balance out for enemies being present in backline bases, as it shows you when bases are being messed with while still not allowing spawning on "hot" frontline bases.
Changed: LAV-25 colliders (wavebreaker 5mm armor)
Tweaked: Item size limits increased for vehicles' internal storage

Tweaked: Increase minimum speed for shifting gear direction (D <-> R)
Tweaked: Wheel friction adjustments.
Tweaked: Slightly lower center of mass and suspension adjustments to BRDM-2, S105, and S1203 to prevent excessive rollover
Fixed: Wheels rotated in the forward direction when going backwards on non-owner proxies
Fixed: Missing stars in the night sky

Fixed: Players appearing as having no faction in the Active Player list in admin mode
Fixed: 3rd-person vehicle camera zoom improved
Fixed: Flying dragon tooth near the transformer station base
Fixed: Perceived faction would stop updating when all clothes were off
Added: Base capturing has a new "contested" state, serving as an in-between state. It occurs when the defenders are outnumbered, but a capture is not possible.
Added: Contested state prevents spawning on a contested base and appears on the map. Preventing players from spawning in active warzones, but also giving information in case of backline sabotage.
Added: Move closer popup added for an enemy capturing or contesting a base.
Changed: Players will be unable to drop supplies on the ground from containers controlled by the enemy faction. This does not apply to harbors and preplaced caches
Changed: Renegade faction forces solo groups on people turning renegade to avoid issues with nametags and group text communication.
Fixed: Arsenal item tooltip could show generic info and icon for rank requirement if the required rank was not configured for the player's faction
Fixed: Compositions wouldn't change faction when the base was captured
Fixed: Free for all factions hostile to themselves could still see their own faction's nametags
Fixed: Incorrect faction setup on renegade player prefab meant nametags would show after respawn

Fixed: VME when spawning as civ faction in HQC conflict
Changed: Added a Hierarchy component to the Sign_SupplyStorage_Base.et and removed all instances of hierarchy components being added to it by the composition that uses it
Changed: Base capture query got changed to use the tag system rather than the query system for performance reasons, resulting in the loss of a method.
Tweaked: Script Syntax Tree: Memory leak for attributes nodes
Fixed: World editor - WB_AfterWorldUpdate callback not being called to entities and components
Strafing inertia - Side-to-side character movement has been adjusted to mitigate "strafe spamming" in firefights.
Bush slowdown - Characters are no longer able to sprint through bushes as if they don't exist. Thick vegetation slows you down now.
Improved vehicle unflipping - Repair trucks parked near flipped vehicles reduce the number of players needed to unflip such a vehicle to one. This way, you can get your BTR, transport truck, or Buchanka back on the road all on your own.
Mod storage - Xbox players can now utilize up to 50 GB of storage space for mods on their consoles.
Mod uploads - Workbench uploads to the Workshop are now split into smaller chunks, improving uploads and significantly reducing errors.
Destructible razor wire - Players can now use bayonet-equipped rifles to destroy razor wire emplacements.

Deployable radio spawn was originally meant as a way for players to stay together before helicopters were added.

However, the limits on lower ranks were excessive, so we have increased them to allow lower ranks to purchase better loadouts.
Fixed: Configured minimum ranges for starting positions relevant to Kolguyev
Fixed: Expanded supply ranges of building services (FIA to 200 meters, US/USSR to 150 meters)
Fixed: Possible fix for freezing on Xbox - Long freezes were related to conflicts on CPU threads. The current fix may introduce very short gaps in audio samples. The issue is being investigated further, and more fixes are on the way.

Starting today, the battle for Kolguyev has launched for all Arma Reforger players. Set foot on this harsh volcanic island and experience one of the largest updates to the game to date. In Update 1.6, take command in the drastically overhauled Conflict HQC game mode, experience the new Operation Omega singleplayer campaign and Air Support scenario, and gear up with new weapons, equipment, and systems to lead your team to victory.
Kolguyev has finally returned to the Armaverse, reimagined in the Enfusion engine. This rugged volcanic island contrasts beautifully with Everon’s lush greenery, trading grass fields for windswept pines, barren ridges, and the warm hues of the autumn season. Beneath its dormant volcano lies a network of steaming hot springs and winding sulfur streams. Scattered across the island are the rusted remains of an old coal industry.
The classic Conflict experience has been completely rebuilt into Headquarters Commander (HQC). In this new rendition of the game mode, a player can step into the role of Commander and coordinate the war effort by assigning tasks to player squads, managing AI logistic units, and leading their faction to victory.
Bases are no longer just fixed objectives but can now be constructed anywhere across an island. Players can also rise through the ranks by contributing to their squad’s success, such as staying close to squadmates, healing allies, repairing vehicles, and completing assigned objectives. Every squad features unique loadouts, group types, and roles designed to coordinate with the entire team.
Resource management now plays a critical role, as the new supply scarcity system requires you to retrieve and transport materials from nearby harbors or depots to keep your forces operational. Don’t worry, though, players also have their own personal supply called Military Supply Allocation by Rank (MSAR), so they aren’t draining all the team's supplies at the arsenal. HQC represents an entirely new way to experience Conflict, and we look forward to seeing the creativity of players on the battlefield.
In addition to the base game modes like Game Master and Combat Ops being added to Kolguyev, players will also be able to enjoy some solo content as we introduce two new singleplayer experiences:
Operation Omega – a five-episode campaign that drops you behind enemy lines, as part of a special forces team operating on Kolguyev.
Air Support – a scenario focused on testing your piloting skills as you’re tasked with a variety of transport, fire support, and logistical missions.
Whether you take to the skies or march through the mud, these missions bring back the cinematic, story-focused gameplay Arma fans have been missing.
The armory has been expanded with new gear and firepower, including new rocket types for the RPG-7, two rocket launchers (RPG-22 and RPG-75), and added camouflage, wrapped versions of the M21 and ART-II. Hand-fired flares are now available to light up the night and mark positions. On the clothing side, players can equip added camouflage patterns such as US Army Tiger Stripe and USSR TTsKO, along with some clothing items of Soviet naval infantry uniforms.
Self-titled combat engineers will find new ways to shape the battlefield with constructable sandbags, mortars, and static weapons that can be carried and deployed almost anywhere. Anti-personnel mines, including the M14 and PMN-4, can also be used to create deadly chokepoints against enemy infantry (and the occasional, absentminded friendly).
Update 1.6 introduces numerous improvements to gameplay systems and core mechanics, which would be too lengthy to list in this article. Here are some quick key features worth mentioning:
FIA Rework - The FIA now features new units, better weapon loadouts, and even civilian fighters.
Moving on Vehicles - Climb onto the back of a flatbed truck and fire while riding along.
HOTAS & Peripheral Support - Preset profiles for HOTAS setups are now included, with customization options planned for the future. Also, Logitech peripherals are fully supported, featuring unique reactive lighting effects for mice and keyboards that respond to in-game events.
Environmental Factors - Foliage now reacts to character movement, and wind affects projectiles like bullets, rockets, and mortars.
Field Manual Expansion - Dozens of new pages have been added to the Field Manual to help you understand the new systems.
Performance Improvements - Hundreds of bug fixes, tweaks, and performance optimizations...
