RIP to the squad I forgot to take off "CARELESS" at 0:32 lol. Comment down below with some of your own tips you wish you would have known to better help new players out! The player base's level of knowledge is unending!

Most important rule: The most dangerous thing you can encounter in Arma is the Z-axis. Stairs, hills, ramps and scaling rocks are all deadly

heres a big tip i found, always run up and down hills sideways cos the gamedoesnt count that as going up or down hill so your stamina doesnt get drained

Ah yes, during my first time I spent almost an hour in the Arsenal just to make myself look operator as fucc only to get clapped by a CSAT private, I’m pretty sure we all went through this during our first times in Arma

when i first started i didn't knew HOW ZOOM WORKS, i played the first 3 hours of the campaign shooting with ironsights without zooming at all, imagine my suprise when i found out

The best tip i can give for a new player : arma is a SANDBOX, you can make the game exactly how you want it to be. There's a lot of differents game mode, PvP to PvE , solo, multiplayer of course. Arma can be repulsive at first because you will say "ok and now, what shall i do ?" , there's no defined game mode like in call of duty or battlefield where 95% of players are going in. You have to CHOOSE which one you want, so don't be shy and try differents things, differents servers and may be one day you'll find a server and a game mode and say "hey i like this one and this is fun !" and there you go. So you have to find your own fun, that's exactly how arma is supposed to be. I can only recommend playing with friends, and my most played gamemode is Liberation, if you're curious just take a look ! See you on the battlefield private

I play ArmA 3 since autumn 2014 and after all this time, the whole game got 10 times better. Even the vanilla game with the Eden Editor or the many new mods

The one tip I have to share is this. Never expect any mission or simulation in the game easy. Just like Squad, you’ll need people to help you if you are new to the game or stay in the bootcamp portion of the game or editor until you get used to the combat the game has.

I always explain that ARMA is really just a sandbox which allows people to make or play different multi and single player missions. Mods well explained 👍

If you’re new but want to play multiplayer give co-operative mode a try with servers like 77th JSOC which contain a bunch of people who are happy to help new players. Love Arma and nice video man x

It’s funny that we never stop learning how arma iii works. I have like 1000 hours and I still learn new things - whether it is a control key or aspect of the game. It mostly happens by accident but still...

It's finally dirt cheap and downloading now. Yeah! $7 on Steam!!!

I download mods like a heroine addict lmao

Finally ordered my first gaming PC, got the 3080 and should be here next month. Very excited to get into DCS and this, as more friends are open to playing this, than a full sim like DCS.

One thing people need to know is that you can search multiplayer servers from the launcher and automatically download all the mods you need for the server you choose. Easy. Otherwise its a huge pain.

Man, I've got 1700 hours on this game now but some of this stuff I didn't even learn until I had a couple hundred hours. I definitely wish you were around to make this video when I first started playing. On the other hand, it was a fun experience finding out and learning all of these things and applying them in scenarios and campaigns. I believe a healthy balance of tips and tricks and learning by yourself is great for Arma 3

Nice video once more. Suggestion: at the loadout part, I was expecting to hear how much ideally to carry because some beginners don't know that carrying a big gun and lots of ammo or items inside a backpack weighs soldiers down and increases fatigue.

In the editor, You can spawn in DLC aircraft directly through the menu and fly it just skipping a pop up of not owning the DLC. You can fly until you are in the aircraft

Thanks for the vid. I've had Arma 3 for years now and been playing on and off but now I feel like actually learning it

Now if someone in the discord asks what to do imma just link this nice😂

If I had to give a tip, for someone who bought ARMA for the realism aspect when it comes to a millitary simulation, You have to give the Milsim community a chance, It's some of the funnest shit. You have to find a good community, and you'll have a blast.

The thing I hate about Arma3 guides is they're usually long-winded, tell you obvious stuff, dont tell you want you want to know, or are just plain-old useless.... except this one. This is one of (if not the only) Arma 3 How-To videos that was actually super useful, and didn't waste time with unnecessary info, Fucking-Bravo good sir! Bra-fucking-vo!

Just got Arma during the sale last week, thanks for these videos.

Came to learn how to play, spends 2 3rds learning about mods and editor... Joking aside great video. Was looking for more information on basic tips to survive and get better, like the tips about crouching and laying to the side, but I definitely appreciate all the info! Once I get better at the basics I'll definitely be diving more into everything the game has to offer

Thank you sir. Not everyone is willing to share info to help us new guys. Thank you for this. Much appreciated

Very nice Viper. In 20 minutes you managed to cover almost everything that new players should like to know.

I just got into pc gaming finally and am downloading Arma 3 now after following content for nearly a decade now. Thanks for making such a well articulated tips video for beginners. This has and surely will be an asset for many players.

I will for sure give this video to new players. So they have the best Tips and tricks that there is. Great video btw!

Clear cut and well paced, another great video!

Thank you for making this. I just got Arma 3 yesterday and I’ve been looking all over the internet on tips and tricks on how to play this game.

Even though knowing most of this from the few months I've had in arma, I still learned a few things, thanks!

Finally got notified about a new video. I didn't get notified about any of the VTOL VR ones which is unfortunate. But I'm glad to be back in the notification squad

Great video man. Just started playing arma 3 couple of months backs your videos always come through. Your mod recommended video really helped me out thanks yo

Duuude! This is the best tutorial video, quality wise I've seen! Amazing job! Instantly subbed!

As always - fantastic content, if only it was around when I started 15 months ago, would have saved some angst! Really great stuff here for the beginner+. Keep it up my Man.... Peace Out ✌🏼😎

I just got the game for 38 dollars for the game and dlc. This really helped

That's a fine selection of an example mod in the mod installation process!

About plane gamplay and view distance, I would really recommend getting mod that changes view distance depending on vehicles etc., for example, when you are on foot your view distance is small, when you are in ground vehicle your view distance is a little bit bigger, and when you are in plane or heli your view distance is huge

Hey Viper1zero.. if you want to check out a mod that has the detail of a completely separate game yet highly underrated, pick up the veteran mod off of steam. It has a huge array of great looking models of nearly every gun used in todays battlefield (including almost every AK variant ever). All the guns have a safety mode. also the iron sight are wonderfully simulated with the two moving independently like on a real gun and not just glued perfectly to the center. the recoil is also extremely good. on top of that you have the variety of ammo types. The Pistols are shockingly good, its almost hard to describe they actually feel like real handguns in terms of their 7 + meter accuracy and recoil (speaking from personal experience) also great looking optics that are super advanced... for example a few have illuminated reticles... the scope specifically meant for the PKM and PKP machine guns has a reticle that moves accordingly when you shift the ranging. most of the scopes are 3d models that your character actually looks down (not PIP but not 2d either. there are a few exceptions that are 2d such as longer range scopes most of which are 2d, but I can see this changing considering it is still WIP) also the thermal scope is downright impressive, you can change the caliber and color filters it is pretty cool. There are not a lot of vehicles however there are likely more that will be added (WIP) however the ones that are in are very impressive, if you are using the marine LAV you can see the dial on the bushmaster cannon works, also the recoil effects vehicles differently (ie a techi with a 14 millimeter canon will shake the car in the direction the gun is pointed away from.) the MI-8 helicopter while you cant open the rear doors you can open the rear emergency exit as the rear gunner. but the sounds and handling on it are incredible. some sounds on some of the mounted turrets and mounted rockets are not spectacular and just stock sounds but the couple that are finished sound AMAZING (missile wizzing, nice explostion sounds etc) also in terms of mechanics this mod is a complete overhaul like ACE, but more tame (no annoying buzzing noise after 1 magazine of fire) it has a more advanced medical system suppression and (i may be wrong) movement system. overall this is a direct and very good competitor to the ACE and RHS combo definitely worth the pick up... the mod is as i stated WIP but that just means it gets better from there if you want a good combo i put it together with : Enhanced missile smoke + lighting EFX mod ArmaFXP CBA CUP weapons and units Blastcore Murr edition Ratnik Plus (cup)

I always thought this game was a survival game, i bought it the other day but haven't played it yet

Very informative! Thank you for your time and effort!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

There is so many damn button combinations

Well, that decides it then. Payday comes around and I'm getting ARMA.

Thanks man, this helps a lot as a newbie. Glad I found your video, pretty straight forward!

Great work and tips from a veteran from A1 to now in A3!! Great touch points bud and good work!

thanks man I’m get arma 3 today and this is really going to help me

Additionally to the Mods Tip - The best tip I give to people is unless you plan on doing Vanilla ArmA 3 - Make sure you have about 100 GBs free for the 250 Plus Mods you eventually will subscribe to. I have about 351 Mods subscribed to date (03/16/2021)

You forgot the most important thing for close combat movement. Its dubble C it keeps your gun ready to fire all the time when not spriting, making the time you have to wait when without dubble C obsulete. 90% Of the playerbase doesnt use it for some reason. Its like the first hand rule of being a good player. Sneek gun raised, jog gun raised and sprint. No inbetween. It safed me a million times and gave me the advantage over the enemy

I can't thank you enough for the amazing info, so much learned in so little amount of time.

Very helpful, thank you! I learned a few things for sure!

I just bought it last night. It got announced for sale on my wish list on steam. I'll download it later this week or next. I'm completely new to MILSIM and I been thinking about Arma for a while. Wish me luck.

I found many things that you said but if had known that it would have saved me a shit ton of work! But now I have the problem that can't find tutorials for the next step I mean like the next next step not like skipping two steps I would love if you could do it or at least recommend some one that had already done that

This video is so good my dude. Explains perfectly what Arma is. Thank you. You are bringing new players into the community and you are helping Arma grow. I salute you sir.

new intro nice.

i want to tell that to the people who want to download mod.if you download and enable too much mod it will start to use your ram alot and this is from my experience playing arma and ravenfield so i definetly recommend to use 32gb of ram if you want to have more mods.i recommend disabling the mod that you rarely use

This video will help a lot of rookies, thx mam

Yesss been waiting for this

Thanks for the advice! I just got into the game a couple months ago lol

6:16 talks about immersion while showing footage of soldiers with their arms through their weapons haha. I still love Arma, even though multiplayer is insanely complicated..

for mods I recommend A3Launcher.

I believe it'd be super helpful for newcomers. very nice!

Gameshark?! I haven't heard that one in a while lol

probably the best tip, put your view distance at the the same value as: max items/objects draw distance. its 2042m distance or something. this is vital for spotting targets, if your view distance is any lower, they can spot you!, before you can spot them.

GAMESHARK FLASH GAMERS RISE UP I've also definitely failed to fully exit foliage before lasing my bomb target before... My hot tip (650 hours played) is ALWAYS traverse elevation changes (stairs, rocks, steep slopes, etc) standing up. Not crouched, and definitely not prone. For some reason, that's just asking the engine to wedge you in between polygons and decide that you've been killed by crush physics.

Your videos are awesome! Makes me really wanna try this game! Greetings from Brazil!

Would you consider sharing some of the missions you made if you make them?

thanks for the video....please make a "PERFORMANCE" video please as soon as possible.... its very needed ...thanks again.

Great tutorial! I might link to this video in my own next tutorial! If that's okey with you.

Hello I really enjoy your content from Turkey

18:42 Another option i use is MRB Vehicle Visibility, that mod allows you to set your object view distance down, yet you will still see vehicles as long as they are inside your terrain visibility

Thanks for the vid cause I plan on getting this and a laptop

new tip, video , how to use personal arsenal in game, key to initiate in game or how my different ways to start it up, how to add different packs and how to pack and sort the different items for bdu, jackets , slings and carryall backpacks etc and what is best to take in each item type. Most videos tend to gloss over a lot of these topics and talk about them only in the editor and not while your in game and gearing up.

Brilliant Cover mon...just subbed & all in... to giver again.

Yes and the last is the most important. This game set out to be big and combined armes, when in reality the engine is so old it is just not possible at a reasonable fps.

Your contribution deserves respect.!😀

Here is my advice. Dont ever answer any kind of player that is toxic and trying to mess with you. There is lot of them everywhere.

+1 just for the Gameshark bit.

Il be honest as a new player I took very little of use away from that. Bootcamp and vr passed on more useful information to actually get me in game and playing

Here's a tip download RHS, Achilles, then proceed to spawn a t-72 make it invincible along with yourself and friends then get in the tank go back into Zeus then spawn another t-72 in your tank. Last step flight.

Thanks for the information I get the game a week ago and is very stressful

super helpful! subbed

Bro please make a detail video of Editor. for new players. for eg 1) how to set altitude for jets/helicopters. 2) how to set flying enemy/friendly jet groups on sky. 3)Types of missile both AA and AGM with brief explanation. 4) how to create Aerial Missions. 5) Nimitz assests tutorial Will be very much thankful if you make one video Asap.🙏 coz m struggling..

I’m new to Arma, as I’ve recently joined the PC community. I started on Squad but want to get into the juicy jet stuff, but everything is already overwhelming :/

thanks man i have been strugalin with dlcs what to buy and not

Do I need to buy the Zeus dlc in order to use Zeus mods in single player campaign?

Bruh I just got arma today and I have no clue what I’m doing lmaoo

I just got the game (its still downloading currently). i bought the base game not the apex edition because, i thought i only wanted the game and the jets and the helicopter dlc since its cheaper. idk ill see if a truly need the apex edition or im just fine with those two dlcs

Do you use any post processing stuff? Your game looks way more colorful then vanilla arma and I really like it, kinda want my game looking like that

Game sharks... Man I feel old.

Thinking of buying this game ? Is it survival like day z ? Or what’s the main objective as far as pvp and stuff go

What FX mods do you use?

There it is

A new video :D

How do I choose a spawn point? Everyone seems to be clueless

Question: What if i dont have enough money for dlcs and mods?

I’m thinking about buying Arma 3 bro. What’s the main obj of the game is it like survival ? BR ?

👍. Is this a solo game or just a pvp based game?

First I'm going to need a monster machine..a pity it doesn't support multi-core so well..high-frequency per-core CPU with a lot of cache

Do I need to buy the jets DLC to fly Mod jets?

i remember game shark. great times
