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.

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.
