My mans got only 1 ad halfway through an hour long video He has my respect

An HOUR long beginners guide? wow this game sure must be hardcore

Tip from player with 600hrs. *When you start out, do not try and be a sniper. People will hate you for it. Let the experienced players do the sniping*

This is the type of game I would be a noob at forever

1. Go through the bootcamp tutorial 2. Don't be stupid.

Me: **Just bought the game. Wants to look for quick tips for beginners on YT** Arma 3: Least I can do is 1 hour.

Thank you Luetin. I just bought ARMA III. You will be my guide. Hoping to become a good soldier. Also thank you for all the good content you put out. Have a nice day.

you know the guide is real when you see 1:07:47 (length) :) awesome

for the mx series the C stands for carbine. M stands for marksman. SW stands for squad weapon

Basic loadout that EVERYONE should have, regardless of position (aka Sniper, Medic, Rifleman), you need medkits to heal yourself or someone else when in trouble, you NEED spare ammo, preferably a bit of it, you need frag grenades, and if you're using an assault rifle, an RCO scope is a necessity as well. It offers the best variability between close/medium, and limited-long range. It's a bad idea to not take a helmet, as helmets while offering weak protection will save your ass.

You forgot one of the most common mistakes noobs make: Dressing in enemy uniforms/gear/camo. If you're NATO, ffs, DON'T wear goddamn CSAT gear! Yes, their gear has better armor, but at long range, you look like the enemy, especially if you're wearing their helmets and we're using thermal scopes. In thermal, when we see the iconic swooped back helmets CSAT wears, we open fire. You can run it if you want, but don't complain when you're being team killed left and right. Another thing, red smoke is reserved for marking enemy positions. If you pop red smoke, expect CAS and armor to strafe the area. Again, if you're popping red smoke for concealment of friendlies, don't complain when your squad gets wiped out by 30mm cannon fire. Also, if you're laser designating, for the love of God, keep that pointer away from friendlies! Most of us pilots will verify our target by communicating with ground via TS, and if you aren't communicating with us, we wave off on the laser. GBUs in Arma 3 are very much like the real deal in that they can level a city block and anyone unlucky enough to be in the area. Communicate, communicate, communicate. I can't stress that enough.

I suck at shooters. Played arma II, III, DayZ mod and standalone for about 1500 hours in total. basically still suck at it. But damn, the emersion that the Arma engine offers, I freaking love it.

Me: I might wanna get into arma 3 Sees beginner's guide is 1 hour long* Me: Oh boy.

I wonder how many will take notice of this video and stop wasting helicopters. excellent video luetin

How to not suck at arma 3: Step 1: *BUY A NEW CPU*

Shoots half magazin to one guy moving in front of him, misses all the shots. Shoots to a guy standing 1 km away... he kills him with one shot.

Hoo boy, it's games like these that I reslly want to join in on, but can't help but feel intimidated by.

I've played over 820 hours of Arma 3 alone. That doesn't include countless hours of A2. Here I am watching a beginner's guide. Love this game.

what i do with the magazines, is that i always leave 1 RED tracer magazine, so if im gonna carry 6 mags for example, i pick 5 regular and 1 red tracer, so at the moment i know im shooting and i dont tend to look much at my hud, i know im working out my last magazine, and i gotta use very carefully.

The amount of customization to your gear is pretty real! When I heard of ARMA I figured it was 'just another Battlefield/CoD type of clone' at first glance, perusing some of your videos I have a teeny tiny idea that I may have been slightly off on that preconception..

Brilliant, only discovered your channel last week. Great videos mate especially for someone who is new to Arma, and really wants to learn this game. Cheers dude.

Excellent video, Luetin09! This will be useful to link into when introducing new people to the game. =) There is also a Steam Workshop mod called "Quick and Fun Projectile Tracing!", which I've found to be invaluable when learning the weapon handling in the game! Especially the penetration capabilities with different weapons is easy to test in this environment. Also, if you want to learn Arma 3 and have an actual mission, check out Pilgrimage (in Steam Workshop)! This mission is hands-down the best custom single player mission I've ever played in any game! It combines storytelling to freeform sandbox to pseudo-procedural gameplay, all with its own goals and mechanisms. It's a great way to explore the whole Altis map while simultaneously playing the game. Gear is random, so usually you end up having to defend yourself with all kinds of available tools, making it a great learning tool. Highly recommended! =)

Just bought the game off Steam for like 9 bucks. I was kind of aware of how hardcore this game is, but I didn't think it needed an hour long beginners guide. Thanks for taking so much time to help out us new guys though.

You know I fell in love with your 40k warhammer content about 2 years ago and have been actively following it. I recently purchased and started playing arma 3, and lo and behold, the loremaster has some tutorials on this specific game? Seems like Tzeentch has been working lately

Who else gets 1fps on the loading screen of Arma 3 but then gets 80fps in game?

Step one: do the bootcamp missions Step two: do the virtual training missions Step three: dont try to be a pilot, a sniper, or a tank driver when you start

Excellent tutorial! I've been spending 6 frustrating hours after purchase trying to get even the basics down. Your Showcase deaths made me feel so much better knowing even skilled players get killed in tutorials LOL. Thanks for this.

I was a 40K fan who just happened to bought arma recently. Fancy meeting you here.

HAHAHAHAH! That artillery fire accuracy.

49:10 "oh i see them" me: sees nothing "that one down" me: wtf who where what ?

I know this video is old, but I'm just getting started in Arma! Thank you for the extremely useful guide!

thank you Luetin ,this was a great guide.Matimio just said in one of his latest live streams that he wanted to tryout Arma but thought it was too much of a learning curve, hope he watches this.

If anyone is a noob in 2017 the game is on sale on steam for like 25 for the apex adition youtube shows highest rated comments first... didnt know people were still commenting, looks like some of you already know lol

Other games how not to be noob: 10-15 mins ARMA: *Angry Joe voice* ONE F*CKING HOUR?!

You are making me feel better about my difficulty with that scenario this morning. First time playing and 12 total deaths after just the intro prologue.

Thank you so much for adding time-stamps! Your videos have been very helpful for teaching some of my friends to play Arma.

Who else is watching this without the game or a pc :(

Here's a pro tip, something I haven't mastered to this day. Don't get an Xbox One and plan to play Arma 3 on it. 😳😥

Just redownloaded Arma again, and was like, “I should watch some KZfaq to figure it out”. Totally forgot you did Arma content when I’ve ALWAYS gone to your channel for Warhammer lore! Day made

Good vid for beginners. I've played Arma3 a while back and even found this a great video for brushing up on the basics again as I've forgotten a lot of stuff.

so if I'm correct Battlefield is the console friendly version of Arma 3

Is the ping meant to be higher to be better or lower?

Didn't learn much that I didn't already know but I did LOL at you stopping mid sentence when you got taken out by artillery. =D Definitely a good intro for new people.

Super helpful - I picked up Arma3 a while ago and gave up. This is what I needed to know.

guess i can watch this while i wait for it to download ON A GOD DALM ASUS! XD

is this video still relevant in December 2019?

Stream Sales have brought me here. Cheers Leutin!

You want to shoot steady? Shoot just as you’ve fully exhaled - don’t hold your breath!. A “Surprise Break” helps too. Pete.

Thumbs up if you watched the whole video! And if you did you are a..... .

I have gtx 1060 6gb and a AMD 8350 Can i run it

I saw this video years ago when I first bought Arma 3 and now I have over 1k hours and I´m having a fantastic time in a Warhammer 40k Cadian Unit. It´s funny that I got introduced to wh40k through the unit and then you started making videos about wh40k.

omg you are the best. just had game for two days now. will be doing all the single player virtual/missions/etc before multi, thanks to you. you are patient. i have learned i must be to play this game. thank you. will be watching your vids alot!!!

I realize the video is old, but for anyone watching. The campaign normally gives you single 40mm grenades. The 3gl has the option to take 3 round magazines of 40mm grenade instead of the single grenades. Not sure if he ever realized, but he took 3 magazines of 40mm smoke. So he actually has 9 smoke grenades for the 40mm under-barrel launcher, not 3. He only took six HE grenades in two magazines in comparision.

i am now your student of all things arma lol great vid has helped me alot did not even know what zeus was until this vid omg what a beast of a mod thanx again for putting time in to make this vid

It's good that compass bearings were right at the start. The amount of people who shout "he's over there" or "behind the tree on the left" is way to much :D

Great video, played Arma for ages but its weird how much basic stuff you forget. Keep up the awesome work!

I'm so glad that other people have problems against that AI as well. I always wondered if I just did something wrong, but it seems they really are just disgustingly good.

Thank you for taking the time. This was extremely helpful. ~ Newbee

I was blank on what to do when I got Arma 3 today but this helped a lot ty :)

Don't feel badly about doing the tutorial sections badly. The best teachers realize that they're not perfect. Thank you for your time and advice!

44:00 On this showcase infantery mission, a tip to get a better optic is to get it from the injured point man's weapon just after the first fight. He was scouting, so normally if the mission hasn't been updated, he would have a MRCO optic ( x2/x4 or something ) And, IA is really a good, very good training solution, if you can beat IA ( vanilla ), you can learn a lot how to take advantage against player, even then get an aptitude to XRAY instinctly player... really... Playing with IA, can be really hard and frustrating, but when we get it, it feels like be like the best players in the world :D

Just got this game in 2021....this tutorial still holds up.

the shoulder scope thing is amazing. i always just guessd how far away my target was . thanks very much.

Great tutorial, enjoyed seeing some of the newer stuff that has been implemented since launch as well.

17:05 In a lot of other games suppressors reduce range/accuracy/damage for balancing purposes, but in Arma they actually increase muzzle velocity by 5%, due to them effectively extending the barrel. There is no reason that I know of to not use a suppressor.

Been watching all your videos to help me learn all I need to be a reliable squad mate in multiplayer, so far its paying off, got a lot to learn but plenty of time and I should be better

I'm hooked ! Getting ARMA 3 tomorrow ! BTW - Steam has Arma franchise on sale at the moment. Sale ending monday 29th Febuary.

I'm new in arma and this helped me out SO MUCH thanks Luetin!

So people are giving Luetin here shit for accuracy, and at the same time writing just fundamentally untrue things in the comments about "realism" and ballistics. Games... exaggerate "long range " ballistics, for what I guess are balancing issues. A round fired from most 5.56 rifles travels little over 1KM per second. That means that if you engage a target at 300m it takes 0.2 Seconds until your round reaches it's target. You aren't compensating for shit at those ranges, and .2 seconds is basically instantaneous from a humans perspective. Since we are on the topic of realism in these comments... 300meters is pretty standard engagement distance for modern military rifles, things like the AK or the AR platform, and everything in between are Assault RIFLES(tho to be fair "Assault Rifle" is a media and gaming term, most militaries simply call them rifles or Automatic RIFLES) . These weapons are terrifyingly accurate, you wouldn't believe how easy to handle and fire they are(it's a long standing pre requisite for military equipment, it needs to be idiot proof). Games tend to gloss over the RIFLE part of these weapons, I'd recommend you go to a range and test it out, most ranges will rent you a rifle you can fire there(You will be amazed at how easy, and how accurate they are to handle). We always joked (and im sure it's common in other countries) that Marksmanship ribbons, accolades/certifications are just proof that you aren't retarded :D . And the point about hitting moving targets at X/Y/Z Distances is also a rather mute point since you are probably never going to have firefights at those ranges, where you are consistently engaging a lot of targets that are moving around in plain view. I can theoretically imagine scenarios where you are moving through urban areas rapidly(Although even that is not nearly as fast as games and movies depict it) or through forested/mountain areas with concealment instead of cover, where you would rapidly engage and keep moving... in both scenarios you are so thoroughly fucked and in danger that the finer points of ballistics are the last thing on your mind.

Wonderful! One of the best video tutorials I've ever viewed.

Just got the game 2 days ago and love it

This seems quite useful. It would be cool to create training all the way through marine corp sniper school. A basic resource would be the public Field Manual files and books like Plaster's "Ultimate Sniper"

3000 hours here. If you hear “snap, crackle, or pop” hit the fucking dirt. Remember the difference between cover and concealment. Stay by your squad leader and medic. You are vulnerable. If you are outnumbered, pop smoke and pull back. And remember, get used to the 15 different stances. Prone, crouch, and stand won’t cut it. And finally, remember, don’t fucking sprint everywhere. If you’re not in danger of combat, walk. The more you carry and the more you run, the more you shake around when you aim, so take frequent breaks. And remember, it’s usually those who fire first who win an engagement. Try to be the first to shoot, but not in a call of duty twitch shooter way. Move methodically, position yourself well, have a good stand-off distance, and fire when you’re sure you can kill your targets. And leave the AFVs and aircraft to those who know how to use it. If you wanna use these vics use them in editor and get good with them before you try and operate one, much less command one

Just bought a gaming laptop and Arma 3. I’ve wanted this game for years and have watched hours of YT vids. Pretty excited, but nervous because I feel like a salamander with a 1911 strapped to it being thrown at 1000 trained soldiers..

Thanks for this, got arma 3 a couple of weeks ago and this is really useful

First thought ...."jesus thats really detailed"........3:33 "lol thats how this works? There is difference between hold and click 2nd mouse button?" Thank you mate, really good video. Appreciate it!

I'm a little late to the game, but wow this game looks very sophisticated compared to other military shooters i've played like Ghost Recon 2001 and Advanced Warfighter 1,2. I'm gonna finish the campaign and see how I hold up. I'm too intimidated to join multiplayer while everyone is like a 10 year veteran. Looking back I should have gotten into this series a long time ago.

I would like to point out the description of the first bootcamp mission is "Now for something completely different" a reference to the monty python movie "Now for something completely different"

Thank you for this video ! You are right, a lot of people don't know a lot about the solo and tutorials of ARMA3, they play it like a casual FPS... Just a tips to commenting section 2:50 using Task, or even Squad command, the mouse can't make you turn your body, but by default, using Shift+Q make you rotate/look Left, and Shift+E rotate/look Right. I'm trying to learn a lot about ARMA and my dream is to create a group of players who really takes time to play arma with all the default and basics aspect to reach an elite and make a huge hit against Noobs in no mods public servers. I like your experiences with the IA too. Playing with an against ARMA AI is a science too. See ya. Thanks again for your videos.

Wow thank you for this! I am very new to this. Just what I needed.

iv had this game for kver a year think iv played 3hours and that was messing with the settings really need get to grips with arma3 love watching it

Just bought the game, this is really helpful, thanks so much

Good video, but correct me if I'm wrong, I thought the mission with the Mortar Spotters gives you a UAV darter to spot them and Charlie lights them up. Or is it just the Campaign one?

Just Got the game. loving it.

I got over 5k hours on Arma 3 and I know everything with every role and done everything including the game with addons/ace, TFAR/ACRE 2. I am currently re-doing everything on Veteran to put it on recording.

Just bought this, I’m excited to watch ur full guide!!!

Exactly what I needed thanks pal 😊

Thanks I don't have the game or a PC but want to play this game been subbed for a while now more than a year

Just got the game, and its my first time playing PC, so this is a God send lol

48:28 I've never got any live feed :) On that Infantry showcase. The balance has changed massively since the damage modeling (hitboxes) improvement work (?). In 2015 I was getting ripped to shreds along with my squad mates. And yes, I do adjust for my skill improvement. Rule number zero for that showcase and the whole ArmA from this point forwards. HARD COVER! And stick your head only (ONLY!) as much as to clear the muzzle of your rifle over that god damn rock. To do this you need to learn all of the stance controls. Including Ctrl+W and Ctrl+S.

Looks like they've changed the default shortcuts. Just bought this, and the bootcamp said to DOUBLE-TAP J to open the Task list.

the arsenal is in the virtual ammobox you scroll down for other options, I play JSOC a lot and play HQ quite a bit, if you want to know more about JSOC I can help.

Just bought the game yesterday, loaded it up and went into a few servers. Yeah you really need to know what you are doing in this. Training is mandatory.

cheers man much appreciated, just bought this and was a wee bit lost with some of this junk

This is actually one question that every noobs know 1.dont put on so many attachment on ur gun it will make u like a fool copy the attachments that ur team has and u’ll be fine I friended a person who knows how to play Arma 3 for a very long time

Thanks, LT! Really useful guide once I get it

The game is over 4 years old and im still in over my head.

thanks man i started playing last week this helps alot

I'm a complete beginner and I'm gonna watch this and read the Arma 3 manual

Thank you soooo much. Only have 4 hours in game but people see me explaining how stuff works to them and I think I'm using an Alternate account :D
