America's Army: Proving Grounds

America’s Army: Proving Grounds is the official game of the U.S. Army and part of the highly acclaimed America’s Army game series. This free military game focuses on small unit tactical maneuvers and puts you to the test in a wide variety of new America’s Army maps and AA fan favorites.

[b]New Weapon[/b] The RPG-7 V2 has been added to select maps; a devastating anti-personnel weapon with a large fragmentation radius. It is a single shot weapon and is automatically dropped once fired. The RPG-7 has a minimum safe arming distance of ten meters; the round will not detonate if it does not travel at least ten meters. Beware the back blast as it will injure, or even kill, those directly behind when fired. Two new RPG-themed Steam achievements have been added: "I meant to do that!" (Kill an enemy with the RPG back blast) and "R-Three-G" (Get three kills with a single RPG blast). Stats related to the RPG are tracked and will be added to player profiles on the webpage soon after release. It is available as an in-world pickup on selected maps only; it will never appear in the deploy menu. A DefaultGame.ini option, 'bAllowRPGPickup', allows server admins (on PC only) to disable the RPG if they so choose. One or more RPGs can be found on the following maps: PS4 Homestead Uptown Intercept PC - BDX Bridge EX Intercept C4/EX SpringStreet EX/VIP Watchdog C4 PC - FLO Bridge EX BridgeNight EX ColdFront C4/EX/VIP Downtown EX Homestead C4/VIP InsurgentCamp AC Intercept EX/C4/VIP Overload C4/VIP Sandstorm TH Slums VIP/TH Uptown EX/VIP Watchdog AC [b]Weapon Changes[/b] Supernova deals slightly less damage over range (however more than the 870) Dragonov loses less damage over range [b]Bug Fixes[/b] Intentionally dropping a carry objective now properly produces a drop sound for observers Fix for right-click context menus not closing properly in the server browser Fixed an issue where scramble teams or restarting mission commands could be executed unintentionally When using Explore mode, the player no longer spawns player as the VIP on VIP maps Added admin voice mute commands (AdminVoiceMute and AdminVoiceUnMute) and panel Added feedback to VOIP notification when muted by admin.
