Arma Reforger
Set up your Arma Reforger server: Complete guide with configuration, mods, performance and mission management.
Arma Reforger Server Hosting
Arma Reforger is a military simulation game developed by Bohemia Interactive, built on the new Enfusion engine. Set in 1989 during the Cold War, it takes place on the island of Everon (51 km²), inspired by a real Adriatic island. Additional official maps are Arland (16 km²) and Kolguyev (35 km²). Arma Reforger features realistic combat mechanics, vehicle warfare, an extensive modding ecosystem via Steam Workshop, and large-scale multiplayer battles supported by dedicated servers.
Running a dedicated Arma Reforger server gives you full control over the mission, mods, difficulty settings, and player experience. Whether you are hosting a small cooperative session or a large-scale multiplayer conflict, a dedicated server ensures stable performance and low latency for all participants.
