Community Radar #18

Welcome to the latest Arma Reforger Community Radar, or as we also call it, #COMRAD. We're excited to showcase another fantastic community content for everyone to enjoy. Let's get right into it!

COM-ART

We couldn't pass up the chance to feature dumpek's fantastic images, each one showcasing a new asset from Arma Reforger's 1.3 Update, including the LAV-25, BRDM-2, and rocket pod-mounted gunship helicopters. Every shot really stands out so well with their atmospheric lighting. Dumpek has a real talent for setting a scene, and we’re excited to see more like this in the future.

This glowing screenshot by thebuckfastwine captures the golden hour over the modded Wake Island terrain by John Barker, with F-4 Phantom IIs by Naomyth lining the airfield ramp. The Atmospheric Weather Mod by EO also adds a nice touch of evening fog to help create a little ambiance. It almost feels like a still from the opening of a movie!

“When the thread is cut, the harvest comes.”

Speaking of movies, this next image looks like it was pulled straight from the climax of an action film. As mortars rain down, Ghostovich delivers yet another explosive and cinematic artwork featuring US Army forces assaulting through Everon's golden wheat fields, backed by the support of nearby LAV-25s.

Yeah, we know, we’ve been talking a lot about the LAV-25, but how could we not with shots like this? Zimmer captures an awesome screenshot of the LAV-25 coming under mortar fire, with dirt and debris flying everywhere. They make great use of depth of field and visual effects. Fantastic work as always!

The French Reforger Mod team has released a work-in-progress version of the SA342 Gazelle, a light, multi-role helicopter developed initially in the 1960s and widely used by military forces worldwide. It's available now on the Workshop and features three variants: unarmed, rocket-equipped, and cannon-armed. This will give you a versatile air asset to test and enjoy. You can follow progress and share your thoughts with the team on their Discord!

While spring might be here, it’s definitely not too late to try Zimnitrita with its new Autumn and Winter versions. Inspired by the landscapes of eastern Ukraine, this 268 km² map offers a diverse landscape now with seasonal flair. Check out the latest versions on the in-game Workshop.

A versatile scout vehicle has rolled into Arma Reforger with the release of the Fennek mod. Featuring multiple loadouts including 7.62mm, .50 cal, and even a water cannon for SWAT scenarios, this is a great first vehicle mod by SRGshadows. It has various camo options like Dutch Army, SWAT, and German camo variants. Go give it a spin!

Fans of the classic Escape missions from Arma 3 and earlier titles will feel right at home with Prison Escape by Text Entity. This cooperative game mode challenges up to 8 players to work together to escape captivity and survive. The task is simple: reach extraction. However, it features smart guard AI that won’t attack obedient prisoners, a dynamic respawn system, and optional side objectives once you're free. It’s a fun and definitely worth a run!

If you're looking for more atmospheric or single-player experiences in Reforger, then Rookie is well worth your time. Created by Sarge, Senior Designer at Bohemia Interactive, this classic remake brings a beloved scenario into the Enfusion engine, proving that narrative-driven gameplay still has a place in the Armaverse. It’s a short, immersive story, best experienced in a quiet setting, where you can just let the mood and storytelling take focus. Play through it today!

Did you hear? Boxing is coming to Reforger! 

Just kidding! You might’ve missed our April Fools' joke this year: Reforger Rumble. While we’re not hosting any glove-clad melee tournaments, don’t forget you can still rifle butt your enemies on the battlefield.
