Summary
Bodycam Reforger - BODYCAM-style weapon sway & recoil system for Arma Reforger
Description
BODYCAM REFORGER – Bodycam-style weapon handling for Arma Reforger multiplayer
Your weapon is carried, not glued to the mouse. Every small arm sways, kicks and settles like a real weapon in real hands – built for multiplayer servers. Camera, movement, controls, menus and all vehicles stay Arma's. No extra program needed – everything is in the mod.
WEAPON HANDLING
- Sway: turning, walking, strafing and leaning move the weapon in your hands; it lowers on fast turns. Separate behaviour from the hip and aimed.
- Recoil per weapon class – rifles, machine guns, DMRs, pistols, SMGs, shotguns, bolt-action rifles – with a spray pattern: each shot moves your real aim and it settles back after the burst. Launchers keep Arma's recoil.
- Weapon physics: the kick follows the bullet and the weapon's weight; heavy weapons sway slower. Suppressors and muzzle brakes take some of the kick.
- Posture: crouched, prone, rested or on the bipod the weapon sways and kicks less.
- Iron sights and red dots stay usable; magnified optics keep Arma's view. A small camera kick per shot.
BODY
- Canting: Alt + Mouse 4 / Mouse 5 tilts the weapon 30° left / right (same key again levels it). Weapon and view move out to that side – with the lean you see and shoot around corners earlier.
- Hold breath: hold Shift while aiming – steadier for about 6 s (shorter when out of breath), then a short, shaky exhale.
- Long aiming tires the arms: the weapon gets unsteady and sinks (much later crouched, prone or rested).
- Out of breath or with a wounded arm your hands tremble; a hit knocks the weapon away; raised to the eye, the weapon settles into the shoulder.
- Keys: Settings → Controls → "Bodycam Reforger".
SERVER SETTINGS (ADMINS)
- Pause menu → "Bodycam Reforger": sway (all / turning / walking), recoil kick and climb, weapon physics, posture, cant angle, hold breath, exhale, arm fatigue, tremor, hit reaction, settling. 0 % switches a feature off.
- "Bodycam recoil" On / Off: Off gives every player Arma's complete original recoil; sway and the rest stay.
- Only the host and logged-in server admins (#login) can change them – not a voted-in session admin. The server keeps the values (profile folder, bcr/settings.txt) and sends them to every player, also to players joining later. Players see them read-only.
MULTIPLAYER
- The server lists the mod; players download it automatically.
- Hit registration stays Arma's: bullets leave exactly where your barrel points, on the server too. Tested: every shot of a burst leaves the same way on the server as on the shooter's PC – with our recoil and with Arma's.
- The weapon motion runs only on the shooter's PC. Other players see your weapon without the sway.
COMPATIBILITY
- Works for weapons built on Arma's weapon base classes, incl. many Workshop weapons. Weapon packs with their own base classes keep their own handling.
- Other weapon sway or recoil mods stack with this one – not recommended together.
- Vehicles, turrets and mounted weapons are not touched.
