The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Arma Reforger

[@ohnahyoutrippin8903]

I’m so happy it’s cross play. As a Arma Vet it’s a pleasure to teach.

cross play makes it on pc so bad, if arma 4 will be like reforger it will be dead for me

Never build an armory first! Always start with the radio tower. The armory should only be placed after h-transport and l-transport, fuel depot, and living quarters are built. That means that supplies will tick up over time and the max supplies will be on hand. Plus living quarters drops the price of a load out by 50% so never build first

[@rougeninja24]

Need more people to see this. Every game people just absolutely eat through supplies with their loadouts. It’s so frustrating especially when they build a damn armory before a radio relay so we don’t get a stream of supplies

Be kind to the logi truck guys and do not unload their truck without permission, robs them of rank xp.

If you’re using the backpack radio place it behind enemy lines. When you die spawn at a base and you can fast travel to the radio with a full kit not draining its 100 supplies. It’s a 5 min cooldown but you can fast travel to it infinitely imo this is op and not a lot of people know about it While at your base open the map and hover over the radio. Open the interact menu and select pickup the cursor will change and you just move that over the base you spawn at

[@mymumdroppedmeinthewomb367]

How do you fast travel to it? Like just from your map or?

[@peng9179]

5 minn cooldown? i don't think thats correct for the radio spawn, you can place it and spawn pretty much instantly. Also if you place the radio by supplies it will leach off of them

[@angelocaduto.official]

@@mymumdroppedmeinthewomb367 on your map hold down the interaction button over the radio and you have a prompt for pickup. Then a yellow cursor r will appear you just place that over the base you spawn at

[@skomTV]

Good and solid advice and beginner tips - Only thing I'd add is how important it is to do Supply Runs. Trucking and transporting in any way is even more important to win a match than fighting constantly. No supplies, no fighting at the front. The nice bonus from it, you level up way quicker and get access to bigger things to drive and fly.

[@Padre619]

I’ve found my calling, I suck at killing so driving a truck to keep the battle effort up sounds fun as hell to me

[@CynicalRebelGaming]

As a Logi main i also wanna give a tip if new players want to to supply runs. Every objective with the exception of ( Hornbeam Valley, Andre's beacon and Pinewood lake ) will have at least one usually two hidden supply points with minimum of 550 supplies, they are typically in nearby building such as the 3 story buildings with attics, barn buildings, storage lockers or the giant warhorses. They will give you extra supplies to build up a base and most of the time they're undefended, however unlike the marked ones where the AI spawn every 15 minutes they're not regenerating so once they're gone that's all she wrote

[@jesuschrist870]

Most fun I’ve had playing a shooter game since bf3 !

[@MrMcbear]

Would love to have out of game progression and showing off rewards based on what you do most, could be like a solider screen in dress uniform and you obtain ribbons and medals for things in game. Since the in game rank system resets every game

[@MrMcbear]

That and fixing the fact pilots being shot down count as a crash and you lose rank from it

[@articlered2334]

That won't happen

[@monolith7183]

honestly this game is much about logistics as it is combat, you have to do supply runs or you lose - plain and simple. Also, don't spawn in a vehicle and drive off without picking up teammates, you cost your team 200+ supplies, for you to go rambo into the closest attack point and die haha

[@RedFudge]

6:07 Navigation, you said to read Y axis first. Should be the other way around :) Good way to remember is you go along the corridor (horizontal, x axis, East/ West, called eastings) and then up the stairs (vertical, y axis, North/ South, called northings)

[@yous2244]

Been playing this since Operation Flashpoint, nice to see it getting more "mainstream".

[@Sandshoes001]

Yeah used to love that Flashpoint game back in the day. Always remember the CTF maps like dropzone and deadzone. Best gaming experience ever. Just noticed the resemblance is uncanny. Might have to get this game.

[@yous2244]

@@Sandshoes001 they're using the same map in Arma Reforger as Operation Flashpoint(Arma 1). That's probably why you found it familiar. Operation Flashpoint 2 is a different game though. They had an issue long ago and left their company to create Arma. So Operation Flashpoint is now Arma 1

[@Sandshoes001]

@yous2244 Yes I tried the early games after the original and they were terrible. This looks much more like it. Can you only get this on Steam for PC?

[@yous2244]

@Sandshoes001 but Arma: Cold War Assault is the original, just got it's name change and had some minor updates. Yes only on Steam or GOG(formally good old games). You should try Arma 3, it's the most mature.

[@newsbender]

With about two dozen "beginner's guide to Reforger" videos appearing every few hours, you KNOW this game is blowing up!

[@Sandshoes001]

This is a re-run of the absolutely brilliant game Operation Flashpoint. Well done Bohemia.

[@djentspace6030]

One thing I can deffo appreciate about Arma reforger is the people I've ran into, they are chill and always willing to help new players and the most notable is the patience of people, i used to be into squad for a time if you make a mistake or don't do something as fast as someone else people in that game talk to you like a dickhead and when you're trying to learn that just doesn't feel fair. But reforger everyone is not only understanding but genuinely interested in helping new people get into the game and that for me is SOOO IMPORTANT! Big pat on the back for the pc and console players of reforger! Great people, great games and imo most importantly it's a really great experience! A MUST TRY!!

[@ButterTronT1000]

I watched your video and liked it! It’s a great one. I’m about to start playing on my console. I’ve been doing one tutorial to warm up before the battle.

You can also equip attachments directly to your weapon by simply dragging and dropping them onto the weapon in your slot. This DOES NOT work for muzzle devices (like suppressors and flash hiders) as you have to remove the muzzle device already on the rifle.

Was going to buy it on Xbox this week. Good timing

[@derkuma]

I'm now 50ish hours into Reforger after watching Arma 3 Videos and Streams since 2015. Even though I knew most of what was said in this video, I love watching these guides. :D I mainly do support runs with very limited gear, only pistol etc. and it's great. Combat is also fun but spawning at a location just to get downed the same second can feel pretty rough. My biggest issue is estimating the distance of engagements: There was a hostile vehicle a few hundred meters away, had three chances to take it out, missed every shot. Too short, slightly too short, too far. :(

[@nikolainikiforov3883]

Remember to take those tourniquets off, if its on your legs you will move slower, if its on your arms your aim is effected when shooting.

[@Chris_da_fro]

Games been out for a couple years now, the influx of fresh bodies mixed with veterans is fairly segregated at the moment. I watched a whole squad of guys crawling in a field like 300 meters away. They must have thought they were hidden in the grass but it does not render for me at that distance. They looked like little caterpillars wiggling around as we shot at them until they stopped moving.

[@superwierd1111]

Just got the game and have some questions 1. How good is AI on vehicle turrets is it worth it 2. How is the AI driving pathing as in Arma 3 I was able to to run a 3 to 5 AI controlled convoy and was wondering if this is doable

[@notyouagain7220]

This gem has to get bigger

[@mansafreak]

Thanks for the video. I learned more from you than anyone else these 4 days I've had the game, and still can't work the equipment menu. I'm on a ps5 and it's be aweful so far. I'll try again, because of your video bit NO one wants to explain how to work the menu for the ps5 users. I got all the battlefields so I do have at least one open world that's easy to understand. I'm just old and stupid, so.. yeah. Can't play at night on the ps5, can't see anything, at all. All right then.

[@mymumdroppedmeinthewomb367]

Whats your issue is it inventory or settings menu? Inventory is mostly the same as dayz, pick and place 1 item at a time, some items will let you move multiple at a time but its a bit buggy, in terms of your quick menu, moving an item to that bar along the bottom will put it in your quick wheel, hold right dpad to open that, also, keep an eye on the bottom left of your screen while holding tye quick wheel up and youll see a bunch of shortcut button combos for certain things like lower/raise weapon, safety on/off, bipod deployment, binos, compass ect, all have shortcuts, also some bonus info, even with no bipod you can lean/rest/stabilise your rifle on hard surfaces/edges, sometimes trees but its touchy, since there's no stupid hold breath for robot hands that comes in handy for ambushes or whenever you really want the first few shots to count. Edit: or save the headache and invest in a keyboard+mouse, then use the controller for general play and the pc controls for inventory/menus or anything that suits your playstyle

[@zachn5529]

Can you play this on single player?

[@TheRealTDog]

They are bringing a single player mission next update and more in the future

[@pauliemc2010]

Yes there is a single player

[@vornamenachname1572]

CombatOps can be played SP and are managable but demanding, Everon can take a while to complete all 4 objevtives + extraction

[@Nuumet]

I have trouble gauging distances in meters, especially when trying to zero out a gun. I want to figure out a way to measure 300m from a target so I get a sense of what that distance looks like and go from there.

[@vornamenachname1572]

In Arma for distances 100-400m I found it useful to just memorize how many Pixels the model takes up in different sights when aiming down sights...IR + 4x and the player model measured by mildots

[@crispy9175]

Are there PC exclusive servers?

[@sequoia1171]

Please please don't build an armory first thing, everyone is going to play Barbie dress up and eat all the supplies needed for more important early game stuff. Stop messing with camos you nerds and get your ass out there

[@JungleJimAB9AB]

Another good one, Cap. How about doing Squadding-up with AI in solo?

[@tasidar3]

Great video, the only wrong info is you want to read out your eastings first not northings, so horizontal first and vertical second.

[@Sandshoes001]

is it best to get this game standalone for pc or through Steam?

[@DanCThorpe]

Any way of just playing day maps? Night maps are unplayable for me.

[@dvod3540]

I play xbox and every time i load up a solo Conflict Everon the frame rates drop and the game ends up crashing.

[@Belthil]

How does this compare to Squad? I'm enjoying Squad and I see some console friends playing Reforger, looks pretty similar but with more details, also, is it optimized? With Squad, I struggle a bit with FPS after ADSing with a scope, because, bad optimization

[@davidponder1654]

Its not much better than squad optimization wise, but it depends on your hardware really. And there is definitely a big learning curve compared to squad, especially night time and navigation

[@seth_goodwin]

So before I get into this, are there console only servers?? I am pretty bad, generally speaking when it comes to shooters and a game like this is absolutely unforgiving. Unless I’m going against other controller players only, I’m not even gonna bother.

[@RoughWalkers]

Yeah there are but you have to search for them

[@tyler1503]

I do not believe its possible to turn crossplay off. however, there are PLENTY of server for just team vs AI. those are great for getting the hang of things. and even if you cannot aim, you could run logistics or helicopter transport. both have huge effects on the overall game and dont involve much if any shooting

[@vornamenachname1572]

​@@tyler1503you can filter for non-crossplay servers and there are a few official ones but really just a few

[@MattyIce-t4r]

beautiful tutorial!

[@supershift100]

place radio first at any point to get the auto supply and ability to hit next point more radios connected to point = more auto supply

[@Infinite-if7uq]

👏 The armoury should NOT be the first thing you build when you capture points 👏 Its a good thing that the next update will add ranks to the arsenal so that new spawns won't immediately deplete resources playing tactical barbie.

[@dylanmccabe6011]

Bruh teaching people to build an armory at the beginning of the game is wild.

[@ryanlancerdamon1411]

My go to loadout is as following: no bodyarmor (it's heavy and barely protects you), no Helmet (also heavy and barely protects you), a rifle with a red dot and suppressor for americans or just a supressor for the Russians, a supply pack for infinite resupplies of ammo, 4 initial mags, 1 Frag grenade. You'll be at most 21kgs and it only costs 3 supplies more than the default, mobility and guerilla tactics are the playstyle i prefer

[@dariumstone5514]

Is it out for ps4 or just ps5?

[@adam-ob1zq]

we can all agree this game is not a console game, but in every way has it become a console game. Obviously PC will run better now since ARMA used to only be on PC. Once they work out the bugs and come out with 1.3 this game will be phenomenal

[@ApeRSV4]

Been playing a lot of single player as I am new. Can someone please tell me how to shut of "session saved", which appears every minute and the system locks up briefly. Really annoying!

[@tomcatvrkalisz820]

I hope they fix the hit registration. More than often it is frustrating.

[@theegunpro4561]

dude this reminds me of the old battlefield how-tos

[@PHX-Misfit]

In my opinion I do NOT think you should kit up at the start of a match, instead build transport and use it to capture points quickly at the start. (Levels you up ALOT quicker doing so) building a kit takes time and tend to lead to players using up all the resources instantly.

[@mrzedgaming5247]

And in the new update there will be no respawning at a base being attacked

[@sennavanboxtel8478]

First thing u made a mistake with. DONT BUILD A ARMORY IN THE BEGIN OF A GAME!!!! So because of your guide. First thing people will do is building a armory.. good job!

[@lordzorddan8971]

If anybody sees this comment buried deep by now: There's one more very important thing. Time management. If you only have 1-2 hours to play a day, you don't need to be afraid to try this game. Most games on everon can last up to 12 hours, so most of the time you never goig see the end of a match. In that case just join in, spawn into main, and squad up with some randoms or dom some troop transport/supply runs. Dont stress abou winning the game as fast as possible, just try to make the most out of your "shift" in the match.

[@lordzorddan8971]

Also combat tips: You can quick aim down your site by tapping on the aim button, by far the most useful thing in an FPS game in my opinion. You wont be as zoomed on your aim, but you have a far bigger FOV and a better turn circle.

[@williamfrancis8269]

I had it then I tried to download some of the community ones and that took way too long time then I deleted it and my friend found a way for us to play official maps and oh my Lord I've been raw doggin it but I learned so much and not going to lie I enjoyed every second of it 10 out of 10 game just wish I learned how to read a map

There is still a lot to fix on console, this game seems to be getting a lot of good attention. However, it’s a buggy mess on console, I play on pc but all my mates play on xbox and they have a hard time downloading mods and getting into servers. Arma is not a console game and the performance is terrible which the devs and people who advertise this game forget to mention. Don’t get me wrong it has its good moments. But don’t be fooled by these KZbinrs bigging this game up. I really don’t believe it lives up to the hype it’s getting currently.

They still need to fix the connection issues for timeouts randomly and also optimisations! It’s a terrible engine which barely touching 100fps on an ultra high end machine.
