Marksmen DLC is out. Arma update is available.

Still trying to figure out how to actually do any of that.. 

Press C. The stance symbol at the top right will tell you when you are rested.

Beautiful, thank you! Does that also work for the bipod, or just resting?

Bear in mind bipods will most probably not be on the ALUK server yet.

So the one attached to the MX SW is still just for show?

Perhaps the revive script will be replaced by the new standard arms 3 revive feature too

Weapon Stabilisation - comprised of 2 inter-related subcomponents: 'resting' and 'deployment' - is the core pillar of Marksmen DLC. Although it's perhaps best expressed in the new Marksmen DLC weapons (and their associated bipod attachments!), it improves weapon handling across the board and, more broadly, encourages tactical movement (especially in squads). Weapon Restingsimulates the 'passive' benefits offered in situations where aiming would reasonably benefit from a stable firing position (e.g., when prone, leaning against a wall, resting on a low wall). Weapon Deployment enables players to dynamically create fixed-point firing positions in the environment. When 'deployed', players benefit from improved crosshair stability within a limited arc of fire; however, one trade-off is reduced freedom of movement.

Deployment is currently only active on the new weapons with the bipod attachment, the one on the MXSW is a cosmetic one, for now.

Haven't had a chance to look yet. What I do know is every rifle now has an extra accessory slot for Bipods.

Nope, its real. Thats the only way to currently get a bipod on the server being as they are not for sale.

Buy an MX SW, Take off the Bipod and use it on any gun.

But how do you actually deploy it?

Default key is "C"

Rebind under controls > Weapon

It would be nice to have an expensive 9.5mm long range gun for use at bank jobs, or to quickly disable a hunter or take down a chopper. I mean the LMGs got removed as a result of the LOA times and I would like to think the community has matured quite a bit since then with improved gameplay particularly from the rebel since then. 

Whilst there is no need for the LMGs to return, a proper long range gun for the rebels would be nice, more vest options and so on would also make for more interesting battles...

Edit: And bipods!

As a earlier LoA scum, i vote 100% for LMG's agian!
