This will focus on the conflict PVP on Everon (the big map) and is aimed at new players who are lost in the game and don't know what to do. Arma Reforger has a lot to offer, and knowing what and how to play will bring you the joy you're looking for.

Before you start, play the tutorial. It's really useful and shows you the basics of this rather elaborate milsim game.

In conflict mode each team has a main base usually on one edge of the map.

You are fighting for flags or “points”, you capture the points by being “in the radius” near the command tent. Generally, at the beginning of the match, all points are “neutral” and kept by the AI (the FIA faction). The more players in the radius, the faster you capture.

The BLACK named points are important, but not as important as the PURPLE named points. There is a "score" in the upper right corner of the map indicating how many purple points each team controls. The number in the middle indicates how many purple points a team must control to start the countdown to win the match. The black points do not count towards the score.

Example: It will display something like this , so Team USA has two purples and Team Russia has three purples... whoever has six purples starts the countdown. The countdown can be running or frozen by winning/losing purple flags. So games can last for hours and hours, or go quickly if teams don't do what they're supposed to.

You can connect named black points to other points and multiple points by building radio antennas etc, and respawns require supply points, so you need to manage logistics between points in order to keep respawning soldiers/vehicles/etc at your black/advanced points etc.

First up, we have the United States.

Iconic weapons everywhere, signaled by their unique use of the M16A2, M21, M249, M60, and Laws.

All indicated by a dark green camouflage pattern.

Next up, we have the Russians.

The camps are more varied than the US, but they are easy to tell apart.

Their helmets are different, and their camouflage is generally brighter, Green and tan.

Look for rocket launchers sticking out of their shoulders.

Finally, the FIA.

The easiest to spot, these guys have red camouflage and use Soviet weapons.

They are a fully AI faction, unless you are on a GM server. The FIA ​​do not respawn after elimination.

And remember: Use your binoculars when in doubt.

In Conflict Mode, the American and Russian factions fight for control of military camps. These are initially held by an AI faction (the FIA) that also patrols the areas of the map. They can be recognized by their typical red-brown camouflage.

They patrol in groups of 5 or more soldiers and can carry RPGs. To eliminate them, use cover, keep your distance and change position every time you kill one. They will communicate your position to neighboring troops so watch out for flanking attacks.

Occurs when you take control of 5 (or 6) purple-named camps on the map and hold them for 5 minutes. During those 5 minutes, a timer appears, giving the losing faction time to react. I've had games where the timer stopped at 30 seconds and the other team ended up winning.



When a faction takes control of one of these purple-named camps, the HUD will briefly display the flags of both countries and a number indicating how many each side has at that time. You can always check on the map screen how many each side has.

To capture bases, you need to make sure that the radio frequency from your main base reaches that location on the map. To do this, place a radio relay station at each base you capture, this extends the range of your network.

If the radio network does not reach the point, it will be indicated by a yellow clover on the map. If a point is in range, it will have a white downward arrow marker indicating that it is a point to be captured.

This game may look similar to Battlefield, but it is different in that you cannot be behind enemy lines and capture a base out of radio range.

To capture a base, it must be within range of your team's radio network. This is done by placing a radio relay at the frontline bases that your team owns.



The next point that can be captured is indicated by a red line that connects the frontline base to the next one and a white marker indicating that it is an open objective to complete.

A base starts with just a command tent (the one with the flag) that you take from the AI. You can build basic buildings that allow you to spawn vehicles as well as sandbags, lights… All of these require resources.

IMPORTANT: After taking a base, the first thing you should do is build a radio relay station. This extends the radio frequency range of your main base and allows you to capture the next point on the map. It also starts generating resources for that camp, the speed of which is determined by the number of other relays it is connected to.

So the more relays the better.

WARNING: Resources belong to the base. If a faction takes them, the resources stay in that base and that faction can use them so all buildings come under your control, no need to actually destroy them. (The reason you might do this is because it might prevent the other team from spawning there. However, the best tactic is to take down the radio relay and remove the resources stored in all the buildings as quickly as possible. )

The radio relay allows for resource regeneration and without resources in stock, you can't respawn.

To capture a base, there must be more soldiers from your team present in the base area than the other team. A progress bar will appear at the top of the screen during the capture.

Always build a radio relay before leaving after capturing a new base if there is not one already.

On the map there are supply points where you can fill a vehicle with resources to bring back to your base.

They are mostly marked with a green circle and three boxes on the map.

Some of them are scattered around the map without a marker and are always marked with a square wooden sign that has a box and two hands, the same sign is found on base buildings at the point where they drop off their supply.

These random supplies are not infinite however the ones with the green circle are infinite and regenerate.

The fastest way to resupply your base is to drive a transport truck to the resupply point, park it near the wooden sign, stand between the truck and the sign, open your inventory and drag the supply box stash icon onto the truck. Confirm to transfer 600 supplies or whatever the maximum is, and the truck will be instantly refilled: you will see the boxes in its hold.

This can also be done with jeeps or civilian vehicles if needed.[/b] Drive to your base and park your truck next to a building's resupply point sign, and now in the inventory window drag the truck onto the boxes. Confirm and you will get level up XP after completion.

You can also use the load or unload function on the back of the truck if you want, but it is slower. Supply points automatically regenerate resources after a certain amount of time so you can continue to get resources for your base.

Helicopters can also carry resources and can get the cargo menu from the passenger door even when they are further away from the supply point than trucks or cars. Helicopters have less room for resources than trucks, which are still the best option. There are also supply caches all over the map with a limited number of resources.

Caches guide:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3245230536

Large amounts of resources ensure that players will quickly spawn at your base and be able to spawn a vehicle to quickly return to the front.

If you have registered equipment in the armory and there are no resources, you will spawn with standard equipment. If the base does not have an armory, the same applies.

Resources are the way to win games.

Having a team of a few people running supply runs to bases will most often result in a win if the other team neglects that part of the game.

No resources, slower respawns, fewer vehicles, basics weapons…

Bases can and should be expanded with buildings. Most buildings have a resource pool (indicated in the build menu by a box icon) and all buildings in a base share their pool with each other. This means that the total amount of resources possible increases with each building that has an internal pool.

Resources also generate over time if there is a radio relay at the base. The more bases that are connected by radio relays, the faster resources generate at each connected base, for a maximum of +5 resources (indicated on the map when selecting a base).

To place a building, enter the command tent (the one with the flag) and approach the board on the left side. Open the build menu for an overhead view. You can zoom out and move around. Select a building and a location. Exit the build view and run to that location, then equip your shovel and begin building the building.

There is a maximum number of large buildings you can place at each base, indicated at the bottom left of the build view. You do not need to build more than one of each type.



You can rotate buildings before placing them by holding Shift on PC or holding L1 + R1 and moving the left stick on PS5.

There is proximity voice chat (talk around with your team and the enemy team, so the enemy team can hear you) and radio voice chat (talk to your team and the enemy team (with a stolen radio) on the radio). in the game.

The radio must be in your inventory for this to work. If you talk on the radio, people nearby will hear you talk as well.

Radio channels are important.

If you talk on the radio on the team usa channel for example, all players who are on team usa can hear you.

Only use this feature when necessary, otherwise use your own squad radio channel.

Don't be afraid to use a microphone to communicate. It's a big part of the game and immersion.

I see a lot of people using XBL party chat, PSN voice party, or Discord with their groups of friends.

Please don't do this. Instead, when you first join, create your own squad group.

Use the team radio to coordinate what your group is doing with other groups.

Proximity voice chat (talk with your team and the enemy team, so the enemy team can hear you)[/u]

Speaker logo with blocked padlock (must be permanently displayed to talk arroud you) = you are talking around you

The radio:

Team Radio (general chat, ex: talk with all players in USA team) - (talk to your team and the enemy team (with a stolen radio) on the radio)

Down = You talk to all players who are on either the USA or RUSSIAN team (Use this to relay team-relevant information, such as transport requests, group coordination, if there is an active high-level threat such as a BTR in a specific area or crossing a road towards an objective your squad is actively taking or defending, etc.)

Squad Radio (squad talk, eg: talk to all players who are in your squad) - (talk to your squad and the enemy squad (with a stolen radio) on the radio)

Up = You talk to all players who are in your squad (Use to talk with your squad group)

Radio voice chat (you talk around you (enemy team can hear you), in the radio (with your team or squad depending on the chosen channel) and the enemy team, if the enemy team is on your channel, the enemy team can therefore hear you)

Radio logo (logo displayed when you press and hold L1 on PS5 for exemple to talk on the radio) = you are talking around you and on the radio, don't use this to talk arround you, use only the proximity chat for that.

I noticed that the Russian weapon currently has a standard range of 440m. This is sort of the lowest range setting.

The weapons are not set to 100m as the first setting. Press the increase range button to do this.

Pressing the increase range button puts it at 100m and this will greatly improve your close range shots using iron sights.

Adjust your sights after every respawn!

Regarding the default zeroing.

440m (RU), 300m (US), 330m (FIA) are zero weapons on the battlefield, meaning you aim at a specific spot, the effect will be up to a certain distance.

Weapons are zeroed according to US/Russian doctrine.

In the US, soldiers train to zero their weapons at 300 meters.

For Russian weapons, they are zeroed at 440 meters.

The purpose of this method is to be able to engage a target at long range as long as you aim at the "center of mass/chest" for the US and the belt line for Russia.

Therefore, you do not need to zero if you are within these respective ranges and aim correctly.

You can swap out weapon parts in the field by holding the button (triangle on PS5) until your character tilts the weapon to the side.

To attach a silencer, you must first remove the flash suppressor. You can swap out scopes so that you have one equipped and the other in your inventory.

Equipment requires resources.

When collecting items from the Armory, keep this in mind so that you don't empty a frontline base's total supplies for your equipment.

This will prevent other friendly players from spawning there.

if you really want a big loadout, it's best to spawn at a more distant base with enough resources and then use transport to get back to the front.

Bandage stops bleeding

Morphine speeds up healing of more serious injuries.

You can use saline solution after losing a lot of blood.

Significant blood loss should first be stopped with a tourniquet.

Tourniquet > Bandage > Morphine > Saline Solution.

You can quickly apply healing in the inventory menu by selecting the injury and selecting an item that appears in the list below.

It is possible to heal friend in-game, but you have to be FAST.

If they are only slightly injured, they may wake up before you can apply the item, or they will be dead.

You can't see yourself on the map. You can see the location of your team's squad leaders as a rectangle with a cross in your team's color. After selecting a deployment point, open your map and see where you want to move to capture a new base. Use your compass to get a general direction, do this often!





]If you get lost, the map will show your general location in the bottom right.

If it's dark, your watch will tell you the time of night so you have an idea of ​​how long the darkness will last. You have a light that you can use to see in the dark.

The AI ​​can see you in the dark with or without the light, so don't be afraid to turn it on.

The map has the city names in small font and the base names in larger font below it. These codenames change every game and are different between factions, example: WISCONSIN might be OHIO in your next game.



The enemy can listen in on radio conversations if they capture an enemy radio, so it might be advisable to use the city's codename.

Each game you start as a soldier. Doing things that help your team gives you XP to level up.

Higher ranks like Sergeant and Lieutenant give you the ability to spawn helicopters, APCs, and AI soldiers to defend bases.

You get XP for resupplying, transporting troops, attacking and defending bases…

So basically anything that helps your team win the game.

In the Living quarters, there will be a menu to request troops for your base.

These will patrol the area and shoot enemies as soon as they see them. When killed, the AIs will not respawn, so you must do this manually. There is an overall maximum AI for your team indicated in the bottom left of the request menu.

It is advisable to only use AI in purple bases or important points on the front lines.

Friendly AI soldiers can be recruited (in the same way as taught in the tutorial) and led (e.g. order them to man a machine gun) and can even leave the base, although it is not advised to do so.

Each base has a maximum number of AI squads and there is also a maximum total limit of AI squads (shown in the bottom left when placing them in a housing district).

Requires a wrench. Equip the wrench and inspect the vehicle for damage. Each truck has a wrench and a gas can in the cargo.

Major damage can be repaired at a vehicle workshop in a base or by driving a repair truck to the damaged vehicle (for example, a helicopter shot down in a field can be repaired this way).

You need 2 explosive charges to remove a roadblock.

You can set a timer or, if you have a remote detonator, you can attach the charge to it and detonate it at your leisure over time (you must be within 50 meters).

You can dismantle vehicles that are not in use in bases to recover resources. This also works for vehicles found on the map (civilian or FIA).

Use the menu in front of the vehicle to do this.

Each squad can have one radio deployed at a time. (You must drop your radio on the ground and deploy it.)

You have 10 spawns when deployed.

You can also request a transport to your deployed radio.

(To request a transport, open your map and double-tap X or Square. A context menu/wheel will appear. Select Request Transport with the right trigger, then select Deployed Radio. You will now see a circle with arrows in place of your normal cursor. You must select your current location with the cursor by hovering over the area you are in on the map, within a 100 meter radius, and press A or X. If there are no enemies in the area, you will be instantly transported to your deployed radio.)

As a general rule of thumb, you should be under 200 resource cost, and if you are defending or spawning on an advanced objective with under 1000 resources, spawn with the default kit.

More people will be able to spawn to help you, and whoever is currently handling logistics will thank you.

This is important.

The main objectives in Conflict have magenta names on the map.

Everything else, and I mean everything, is secondary.

The smaller objectives are just there to establish a communication relay and/or to serve as a forward base from which to push towards the main objectives.

Too often I see people promoting goals that don’t matter.

Pay attention to how each goal connects to the others around it.

Visualize your assault path to coincide with the communication relay to the main goals.

If you can skip a goal, do so.

The sooner you take on a main goal, the sooner you can set up defenses and hit it hard.

I only have one thing to say about this:

if you attack an objective, make sure to select it as your active objective (hold start + B or circle to bring up the menu) before capping it (you can also do this from the map).

This gives you a very handy "volunteer bonus" that greatly increases the amount of experience you get from each base capture.

This applies even if you arrive late and the teammates who did all the work have been there the entire time.

One thing to say about the AI.

Engage from a distance and become a bush.

No, really. If there's a bush nearby, enter it.

No bush? Pop smoke. No smoke?

Use terrain and slowly crawl towards a bush.

It'll save your life.

This is how I rack up 30+ kills in a single life.

If you fire your rifle once they know you're out there somewhere.

Shoot twice, they now have your position and you have 60 seconds or less before they're on top of you.

Shoot and move.

Plan your route in and out before you engage and make sure it provides as much cover and concealment as possible.



If you don't move after that second shot and there's still life in the area you're fighting, you're going to die unless by some miracle you don't get flanked.

The bushes are your friend. Don't be afraid to play like a rat.

Player awareness isn't much higher than in other games, which means you can get yourself into a lot of crazy situations if you just stay silent.



Sometimes standing completely still is enough to make enemies think you're already dead or ignore you completely.

Surprise is the key to survival and success in this game.

Don't camp spawn points.

Enemy defenders gain temporary invincibility for a few seconds, giving them plenty of time to turn around and shoot you.

Do your best to stay with your squad.

You can see the location of your squad leaders on your map.

Bring friends to your shootouts.

I see a lot of new players having trouble doing first aid, so here's a quick guide step by step:

1. Assess injuries (hover over the entire body to find injuries)
2. Dress injuries (bandage or tourniquet)
3. Administer morphine
4. Administer saline

You can also use a tourniquet for injuries for arms/legs only.

This is quicker than the bandage and can be removed and reused.

However, it will affect movement/accuracy and removing it can cause rebleeding.

Sometimes someone can be knocked unconscious without any injuries.

Wait for them to regain consciousness on their own or administer morphine.

Ambulances and field hospitals will gradually heal players of any injuries in their vicinity



(Ambulances and hospitals have infinite supplies of saline and morphine as long as they have supplies.)

Communication is key, especially on PvP servers, but the enemy can also hear you via proximity chat and can pick up your radio to listen in on your team's comms.



TALKING ON YOUR RADIO IS THE SAME AS TALKING ON PROXIMITY VOICE SO THE ENEMY CAN HEAR YOU

It makes me laugh when there's a guy hiding in the bushes whispering into the radio what we're doing as if we can't hear him.

That same guy is dead within seconds.



Finish talking to your teammates about 100m from an objective, then mute the chatter. Use text chat if needed up close.

You've killed an enemy, looted his body, and stolen his radio.



The last channel he was on should be the one you have when you equip his radio.



You can scroll through all the frequencies and listen to any channels the enemy might be broadcasting on.

Since we talked about team channels, you can always count on that as well.

Team channels are always active on any radio that isn't turned off.

You can easily ask a few things on 42 MHz (for the Soviets) and 48 MHz (for the US military) and there will probably be someone there to talk to you.

Do not use flashlights at night unless absolutely necessary.

Do not rush to the armory at the beginning of the game (unless you are joining a game that has been in progress for a while).

Adopt the default equipment and learn how to use it.

Sometimes you will spawn in a base that is being captured and you will only have the default equipment.

Regardless of your equipment, your health is very fragile in the game, so using as little resources as possible to equip yourself is a good practice if you want to win a game.



This little weight loss could also allow you to sprint a few extra meters to take cover.

Try to build radio towers in the bases that you capture.

You can also save your equipmentas below in order to spawn with the same equipment.

The best help would be to ask others what to do and where to go at the beginning or to read this guide :)

People in this game are very helpful to beginners.

Find a squad you like, join their radio and have fun.



The most fun in this game is finding a cool squad.

Not everyone likes to use their mic, but it makes life easier for you and those around you.

A team that doesn't communicate and use their mics often loses.

Remember that enemies can steal your radios, so never discuss vital information on radio like your troop movements etc. unless you use code names.

Don't drive into enemy territory for any reason, walk instead.

If you see an enemy player, don't shoot immediately unless necessary, it's better to wait until you have the best chance of a kill.



If you kill an enemy player, don't rush to their body. Others might be waiting for the looter in you.

Set your weapon's scope correctly.

In my experience, setting your weapon to 100/200m is fine for most situations.

Get prone if you can, or at least kneel. Your aim will be steadier.

BE PATIENT.

Don't shoot the first thing you see.



Sometimes letting the enemy get a little closer, or choosing to throw a grenade instead of shooting can ensure you kill the enemy.

Sometimes it's better to let the enemy pass. They might have a teammate nearby.

Never mention location names on the radio, people will yell at you.

Locations will have code names, like Washington, Indiana, etc.

Use these so the enemy can't guess team movements.

To expand on this, if you are reporting your movements, use code names.

If you are reporting enemy movements, especially vehicles and helicopter drops, use the actual name.



That way they won't be able to figure out which base is which.

Help others if you see them building in bases.

It's a small thing, but it shows that you're willing to help and usually means you're a good fit for the team.



Be an all-around player. Don't just run and gun.

Help haul resources and build defenses.

Your base work won't do any good if the enemy cuts you off because you only built radio relays in every base behind you.

It also helps you each higher ranks so you can get access to new vehicles and AI command.

Don't be afraid to retreat.

Sometimes battles don't go the way you want them to.



Try to act as if you were actually on the battlefield.

If your squad was wiped out, would you go back to the battlefield? Of course not. Regroup and re-strategize.



It's better to live to fight another day.

Concealment can sometimes be as effective as cover.

Don't move across open terrain.



Look for ravines, ditches, bushes, anything that stands between you and your enemy's naked eye.

Don’t be a stranger

Greeting the guys at the muster point could be the first step in a long journey with your dedicated squad.

Ask for help from veterans and help out other newcomers when you can.

Being an active team player will help ensure that you’re not alone in a firefight gone wrong.



You’re not Rambo, just a small soldier in a big battle.

Do not carry more than one weapon, unless the second is a support weapon or RPG.

Keep your equipment under 40 kg.

Mobile Command Units (truck) can be requested from heavy vehicules spawn and allow all players of a particular faction to respawn at its location.



Additionally, they also extend your side's radio coverage, providing an alternative to seizing nearby bases.

However, both of these features require the Command Unit to be properly deployed.



This is achieved by interacting with the rear of the vehicle.

Use your compass and map, place radio relays in each base and make resupplies so you can capture 5 of the purple military bases to win.

I hope this helps you understand the game better. The game is a lot more complex, but this should get you up and running in no time. Enjoy!

Teamwork makes the dream come true.

I wish you all the best of luck and have fun.
