Arma 3 Quick Beginner's Guide NO BS - Getting Started [2024] 

Having seen many RU-vidrs who "deserve more subs than they have", I can safely say that you sir, deserve a larger following than you have. The real question is if we deserve you. Great videos on all fronts. Content, presentation, script, resources, everything. Love your work, I have a feeling that if you keep it up, we will be hearing about you daily. Also, thanks! Arma had me absolutely dazed and confused but you have shed light on everything!

Thanks dude. Not being able to just hop in and play is annoying. Very helpful

1 Getting game modes for solo or coop with a friend. That will not take hours to complete or to be created in Zues. 2 The esse of just playing solo or coop. I am not referring to difficult game play, I am referring to the hoops to jump through just to attempt to coop. 3 The mod were you have to use the range finder to snipe. But it is still to complex for my casual ass.

Is there a mod or campaign that is just pure sandbox for single player? It seems weird that the developers have made this sandbox game, but then the campaigns seem to be like a standard linear game on a console. For example, after a mission instead of letting me choose what to do next, the game will fade to black and my characters in a helicopter, and when I've done that part it fades to black and I'm back at the base. I'd like an open game where I get to decide where to attack and also my base could be attacked etc. Does this exist? Thanks

What’s better. Hll or arma3

Very dumb that as a 30 year old man I have to look up a video on how to play a game :(

Just got a pc, arma went on sale. IM IN BOYYYSSS. FINALLY

I just bought the game last night and literally have no idea what to do. Messed around with bootcamp, learned a bit, and then don't know what else to do. This is very needed thank you good sir.

This is awesome man I've wanted arma 3 for fkn years now and finally got it today so this was helpful af I hope this game can exceed my expectations of it

Just dropped a sub, thanks a bunch for the tips I literally only have 4 hours and I'm so confused. But now I know where to start!

I downloaded ARMA 3 without having ever played the first 2. Soooo naturally one comes here to you tube to check out a "how to play" vid. I saw a few that will help down the road. But to just get started? None until I watched this vid. Easy peasy to say the least. I'll be coming back here for more tips not just for ARMA III but for any game in the future. Great job.

A problem I have is knowing where to start. I started playing with a friend but we didn’t know what to do. Thankfully this video addresses our issue.

downloading this game now since it went on sale, glad to find a short how to get started. I just found out all my flight sim gear should work with this game and saw it for under 10 bucks so it was a no brainer to grab it. Ive always wanted to try arma but until i played squad i didnt have much interest in mil sim games, after seeing how much time gets put in by the community though i think its worthwhile to finally check it out.

Q1: not a single one! Because i watched your video! Q2: i don’t have friends! Q3: of course mods that come from you!

VERY HELPFUL!! i hope everyone that gets arma comes here before spending 3 hours trying to play. :)

It dead ass takes about 3 years going on 4 to learn how to play this game confidently.

Just found your videos and Im spending the day going through them. Very well presented and very clear for myself as a noob. Can you let me know which mods you are using, so I can do the same please. My confession; Bought the game, dived right in and loaded up EVERY mod I could find to see what would happen...of course, it crashed 🤣So, stripping it down to start again,

Subscribed dude! I’ve had this game for awhile but couldn’t wrap my head around it. Thanks for the video, this has definitely has made life easier.

I could actually go for some crayons right now…

like it but title is 2024 u changing it😂

Thanks very much for all of the basics....I was completely stopped.....could not even figure out how to fire the weapon! You have helped me immensely and I do appreciate your clear and concise help! Thanks again!

RHS just because they are the basis of so much else content. My problem is performance. I have a laptop. Also a non steam game so i cannot get performance upgrades.

Man I can’t figure out my graphic settings. 50fps rtx 3070 and 32gb ram at 1080p….

oh, it's a pity, you talk a lot but you didn't show how to start, and I already drank the whole lemon balm

I just purchased the game, went on boot camp and single player (I haven't finished it yet) Immersion in this game is awesome. Butttt the mine bruhhh I didn't expect the Sgt to blow up infront of me. Effing PTSD

awesome video, i now finally understand where to get started! now to binge watch all your other videos hahahaha,

I've seen you mention mods a lot. How important would you say they are? Is it viable at all to play without mods at first and maybe ease into them over time, or would you say that mods are just so important that I have to install some essential ones right away?

Thanks man! This video helped out a lot, definitely had have to subscribe!

My biggest problem with Arma is the lack of easy to jump in coop with my friends.

Cheers just bought this...had to edit this to say you are seriously a legend with this video. Hopefully I run into some people like yourself. I'm the same on youtube as steam for a name if I run into you buddy.

THANK YOU! Totally needed this. Haven't played in years, wanted to get into SOG Prairie Fire and I'm like "I have no idea how to even shoot or move now and how come I can't find myself on the map?!?" :)

I’ve been wanting to play arma3 for years since it first came out and now it’s installing it took me awhile to figure out how to uninstall a few things to get enough data to do it but I did it

Thank you for making this video! I just got Arma 3 today and I was so frustrated about how to actually get into gameplay. When I went into quick play I either got kicked from the game because it said I needed to restart it because of BattleEye and also sometimes there won’t be any servers to play with other people. How can I fix this? Thank you.

Great video that I wish I had existed when I first bought arma I know that lots of people have commented on how many subscribers you are missing but honestly, I feel like you deserve at least 100k, if not more. What a new player could get out of this is and do fairly easily would be the tutorial and showcases, and maybe the "virtual" training but i feel like doing the other 2 first would help learn them faster. Also unless I have bad memory you should of mentioned using the editor to experiment with things that you want to learn instantly, like just spawning in a sniper and a target to practice zeroing targets faster for example. And just like languages, arma is the easiest to learn from a long time player. And joining a unit helps too depending on how they work. (Training sessions? Players happy that are happy to help?) 7:25 Hey it's that music from the crane game that everyone played and forgot about in 2013

1. I'm noob 2. Just bought it. 7.49$ 3. I have no idea 🤷‍♂

Brand new to PC games from a console, with that my toughest challenge is learning KBM play style. I enjoyed this video, liked and Subscribed 👍

great video bro! :)

Lies. It is all lies. Arma will frustrate you even after this : ) Especially the super smart can't make a corner or I just refuse to follow your orders AI but once it got you, you will always look at your other games with sadness knowing that they will never get the attention Arma does. I do think the recommendation made in this video is a good place to start.

Thank you for your video, I am new to this game and I will try it...

I've never played Arma but I love DAYZ. I'll have to check it out

Complete dogchit, stuff we already know

thanks! first arma game other than cold war assault so i was taken by surprise

Good video mate. Is it possible to change the camera modes as a gunner in vehicles? I don't want to use nvgs while being a gunner in vehicles and would like to be able to use the in IR or white/black hot mode. Thanks

1000 hours compared to me who plays ark the it took 11,000 hours away from me

I know its an old video but can i use russian army camoflauge without any mods? Or any eastern europe pact? Anyways, good video!

I'd love to play this game but I don't have anybody to play with on this game as no one I know has it and it gets boring on your own specially when I barely know how to play the game

Got this game because of dayZ and I don’t regret it.

I’m still trying to figure out how to talk to squad members separately from voice chat, first day playing arma and campaign is pretty good ngl

Great video mate, simple and to the point as the title says! I can finally start playing now that i'm not so overwhelmed! Cheers boss

Weird that this is exactly what I needed, today.

Still very helpful, thank you :)

This game is awesome! But why do they have to have controls double or triple bound so you have to go and delete a bunch of useless and interfering bindings 😑

Help Please ARMA 3 community! Recently I have been trying to get into Arma 3. I always wanted to play it since it came out. I bought my PC just to play it and a few other games. I thought surely a 10yr old title would easily run just fine on a Ryzen 5 3600, a Gigabyte Nvidia RTX 3060 12gb OC GPU, and 2x8gb sticks(16gb total in Dual channel) of DDR4 3200 CL16 RAM. how-ever after following various guides and doing a lot of research from what I can tell, the max fps I can get on single player in outdoor forested areas of Altis is 100fps but it averages around 45 to 75(usually 60fps+) but with 99%FPS showing about 45 to 50 in Nvidia's performance Overlay which is all acceptable to me; how-ever in the city areas in the Boot Camp Prologue I get about 24 to 34 fps(Mostly above 30fps) but the average fps and 99% fps metrics scare me in those situations. I can't imagine what that could mean for the game performance during flight and/or Multiplayer situations. Is this normal for most poeple? should I just keep playing the game with this setup? I recently was given and installed an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 CPU which has 10,700 million which is 6,900 million more transistors than the Ryzen 5 3600 but with the same core and boost clock speeds. the 5500 is Zen 3. the 3600 is zen 2. the 5500 has 19MB of Shared Cache(16MB of L3 cache + 3MB of L2 cache) vs the 3600's 35MB of shared cache(32MB of L3 cache + 3MB of L2 cache). I am using an MSi Mag series Coreliquid P240 AIO for cooling and my Ryzen 5 5500 runs at 3.8ghz on all cores min during load. is this setup truly not enough for Arma 3? any help and/or insight would be greatly appreciated. I am dying to play this game, online especially! Thank you all for your time and reading this mountain of text.

When can we expect to get a 2022 mods list? I’ve tried playing before, never got the hang of it and just downloaded it again to give it another run.

Kinda late to the vid but ill go ahead anyways! Thanks a lot for your help i recently got arma with the sale and just have been binge watching all types of videos about arma to learn a bit more about it and the only problem im running into is multiplayer since i have practically no idea where to begin, as in where to get started should i get mods and try servers with mods?(Seeing most servers run mods now) or where do i find servers with usermade gamemodes? Other than that arma has been loads of fun finished the campaign and the tutorials and even some workshop scenarios for SP and enjoyed them a lot. Anyways, thanks for the begginer guide helped a lot!

Bro Every single good server has like 16 dlcs 😢

Thanks for this video it helps a lot! Subscribing 👍🏽

Getting arma 3 this week/ before Christmas, looking forward to playing it and having a good tactical shooter game for once instead of cod with unrealistic scenarios and too much try hards

The showcase is badass bc they are all linearly attached as far as narrative as a mini campaign.

me: *sees video* instantly boots up arma 3 after seeing extra training *thanks man good video btw*

Just started this game and you have helped me a great deal! Thanks!........liked/subbed.

I love playing games as a support character like artillery or dropping in troops and cover fire and stuff

I play the game just playing in Eden and virtual arsenal. I downloaded all the mods,private mods but I feel like bored

I built my friend a pc and am trying to get him into arma 3, we play tons of shooters like ground branch and he knows commands its just the sheer amount in this game is overwhelming even after 5 years lol

Problem: Hosting servers/being able to play with friends.

hey, iam new in Arma, i did everything in bootcamp etc etc, i have 5 hours on this game, but still cant get how to play with my friend, who bought this game with me, we are still so confuse and just dont know how to play with each other, what are all these servers, why we cant join them and just, wtf is going on, we just want to play some missions or something

Nice one Subscribed Please keep it comin

question 1: kat medical question 2: kat medical question 3: kat medical

Him: What is thisss?!? Me: *Sees 1100 hours played* Me: 👁️👄👁️

Non of the download mods working

mine says dlc purchase when i try to play it in editor also i am stuck at 5 fps when i load the glowing dlc into the game and when i dont it runs well

Ive never played arma 3, but i have played squad.. i want to know if you have to have a group to play with or can you play as a solo on longer pvp semi milsim missions and stuff?

my arma 3 crashes when ever i click bootcamp....help!!!!

The major problem i have right now is that i cannot find someone to play with, i know that units exist but english is not my first language so i butcher some words up sometimes, and im also pretty freaking young so am i just gonna get called a squeeker?

Having a hard time enjoying Arma cause none of my friends play it.

Hey I’m new to the game and was wondering if I should just use text chat instead of voice chat, because I’m not really comfortable with talking to strangers lol

Do you recommend purchasing Arma 3 or Arma Reforger?

I liked and subscribed, is your family alright?

Hey dude. I played this game for a while, and now I'm wondering if it's worth buying official dlc (and which ones)? Or is it better to find something in the workshop?

This games is unbelievably confusing to just play the game as a new player. It makes no sense. I don’t care for pve.

Finally found the right guide to send to my brother

thanks, you got straight to the point and helpful tips subbed!

cant wait to play this game

The biggest issue I have I spawning into a map away from my team. How do I spawn in near them? Also, why can’t I spawn a vehicle or aircraft when I spawn into the map? Very frustrating

Spent a week trying to start the game

I didnt see the play button, im very smart

Just bought Arma 3 for the second time, I have now 2 people to play with.

Thank you

Thanks dawg

Thank you daddy knightin

This is so helpful. Here, have a sub

Bruh... thank you

Thanks man keep up the work it helped a lot

thank you my dear brother in islam

great video, but please, next time don't use this kind of music it's extremely distracting

This didn’t help, the video is just him telling you to play the tutorials. He doesn’t give you a single bit of advice

Bought this and a few of the dlc's about 6 months ago or so at least and now last night i just plugged my computer back in after months of being away and now hopefully the presets for my xbox series s controller will be good to get me started until i can actually set it up alot better to actually do 90% at least of controls with it and then to learn about making my own missions and situations etc.... 😊
