Arma Reforger is Bohemia Interactive's bridge between Arma 3 and the future Arma 4, built on the new Enfusion engine. Set during a Cold War confrontation on the fictional island of Everon, it pits US and Soviet forces against each other in large-scale combined arms warfare. The Conflict game mode provides a persistent multiplayer experience where squads capture points, build forward bases, and coordinate vehicle operations across a 51 km² map. Reforger emphasizes squad communication and realistic military tactics over twitch shooting skills, with a thriving modding community that has already produced impressive custom content.
Arma Reforger features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order — what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.

Everon Island — Starting Area
The 51 km² main map featuring towns, forests, farmland, and a coastline. The varied terrain supports all combat types from urban CQB to long-range field engagements. Key strategic points include hilltop positions and town centers.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | All skill levels |

Arland — Early Game
A community-created map adding another large island with different terrain characteristics. More mountainous than Everon with dense forests. Popular for infantry-focused gameplay due to the terrain limiting vehicle effectiveness.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Intermediate-Advanced |
| Key Rewards | Infantry-focused combat, mountain warfare experience |
| Recommended Role | Medic |
| Key Weapons | AKM |
What to Do Here
- Focus on mastering conflict game mode — it's critical from this point on.
- Farm for AKM if you don't have it yet.
- Complete all objectives for maximum rewards.
- Prepare for the difficulty spike in Military Base.
Military Base — Mid Game
Key capture point on Everon with vehicle spawn capability. Controlling the military base gives your team armored vehicle access. Heavily contested and often the focal point of Conflict matches.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | All levels (contested area) |
| Key Rewards | Vehicle spawns, heavy weapon access, strategic dominance |
| Recommended Role | Rifleman |
| Key Weapons | AKM |
What to Do Here

- M16A2 becomes accessible here — prioritize getting it.
- Master vehicle operations for the boss encounters.
- Check our boss guide if you get stuck.
Town Centers — Late Game
Urban areas on Everon where infantry combat in buildings and streets creates intense close-quarters engagements. Clearing buildings room by room is essential. Controlling town centers provides infantry spawn points.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | All levels |
| Key Rewards | Infantry spawn points, supply access, strategic positions |
| Recommended Role | Rifleman |
| Key Weapons | M16A2 |
What to Do Here

- M16A2 should be your primary, fully upgraded.
- workshop mods mastery starts mattering here.
- Farm resources for the push into Forests.
Forests — Endgame
Dense woodland covering large portions of Everon where infantry can move concealed from vehicles. Ambush opportunities are high but navigation without a compass leads to disorientation. Forests connect objectives for covered approach routes.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | All levels |
| Key Rewards | Concealed movement, ambush positions, flanking routes |
| Recommended Role | Rifleman |
| Key Weapons | M16A2 |
What to Do Here

- See our boss guide for endgame fight strategies.
- The reward loop: clear content → upgrade → push harder content.
- Experiment with Squad Leader for variety once you've mastered the meta.
Exploration Tips
- Clear areas in order — Everon Island → Arland → Military Base → Town Centers → Forests. Skipping areas means missing resources you'll need later.
- Check every corner — Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
- Match your weapons — Some areas favor different weapons types.
- Read the walkthrough — Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
- Don't rush — Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
