How to Add DLC to your Arma 3 Server


Arma 3 is a great game, but after a long time, you may want to add new content to your server. This can be done by adding DLC!

A DLC is an addition to your game that implements new quests, items, and much more. You can find them and buy them on Steam [here](https://store.steampowered.com/dlc/107410/Arma_3/).

|| ⚠ **NOTE **⚠: The DLC will need to first be set up on your client, then on the server.

# How to Add DLC to Your Client

You can add DLCs right from your launcher if you’ve already purchased them on Steam:

1. Start the Arma 3 launcher and click on `DLC`.


—

2. Enable any of the DCLs you want by checking the box.

# ️ How to Add DLC to Your Server ️

After you set up the DLCs on your client, you will need to load them on the server, as shown below:

1. Log in to your game server panel [here](https://amp.ggservers.com), click on your Arma 3 instance, then click on `Manage`.


—

2. Click on `Configuration`, then on `SteamCMD and Updates`.


—

5. Find the `Server Branch` section and change it to `Creator DLC Build`. The changes will be automatically saved once the branch is changed.


—

6. Click on `Configuration`, then on `Arma Server Settings`.


—

7. Find the `Load Mods` section. Add the following in the text box, depending on which DLC you want to load:

* `gm` – `Global Mobilization – Cold War Germany`
* `vn` – `S.O.G. Prairie Fire`
* `csla` – `CSLA Iron Curtain`
* `ws` – `Western Sahara`
* `spe` – `Spearhead 1944`

The changes will be automatically saved when you modify the text box.

|| ⚠ **NOTE **⚠: If you have multiple DLC loaded, you just need to add a semicolon (`;`) between them (Example: `gm;vt`).


—

8. Go back, click on `Status`, then on `Update`. After the server gets updated, the DLC will be downloaded as well, so you can now hit `Start`.


|| ⚠ **NOTE **⚠: You can check the game server panel console for the status of the update.

Now you’ve loaded the DLC on your server, so you can join and play!
