Arma 3 Realistic warfare on your terms

You start with co-op friends in the Apex Protocol campaign in the jungles of Tanoa, or take on East Wind across Altis and Stratis and the alien-contact story of First Contact. Missions are replayable and built for splitting roles: one of you commands the squad, another handles infantry work, someone else drives. You move slowly, check angles, and revive each other when ballistics do what ballistics do. It is methodical rather than quick, which makes a finished mission feel earned.

For looser nights there are official co-op scenarios like Combat Patrol, Escape and Warlords, where you form a squad and team up against the enemy. You land, grab a loadout from more than 80 weapons with short- and long-distance attachments, then push an objective together. In Zeus mode one friend can also run the battlefield as Game Master, placing units and changing the fight in real time while the rest of you react. Joining a dedicated community unit turns that into a regular habit.

Combat covers air, land and sea with more than 40 vehicles to drive and pilot, from light armor and tanks to autonomous vehicles, helicopters and jets. You pick clothing, equipment and attachments down to the last detail, then learn that maneuvering keeps you alive. You line up a long shot and account for distance, or you fly low over Livonia woodlands while a friend designates targets. Combined arms works best when nobody tries to be the whole army alone.

When the included campaigns, scenarios, showcases, challenges and virtual arsenal run dry, the Eden editor lets you build your own missions and share them. You choose a map — sun-scorched Altis, Stratis, Malden, jungle Tanoa, temperate Livonia — set an objective, and invite co-op friends to break your careful plan within minutes.
