Conflict is Arma Reforger’s flagship game mode — large-scale, objective-based warfare between two factions across a whole island. It’s where most players spend their time, and it has real depth. This guide covers how to play Conflict in Arma Reforger.
The goal
Two factions — US and Soviet — fight for supremacy of the island. To win, one side must capture and hold a set number of strategic bases. It’s a constant tug-of-war over territory, supply and positioning.
Radio range is everything
The single most important Conflict mechanic: you can only capture and respawn at positions within your faction’s radio signal range. That range radiates out from your Main Operating Base and is extended by capturing communication stations and relay towers, and by deploying Mobile Command Units. New players who ignore radio range get stuck unable to push forward.
Beginner tip: after you capture a base, immediately build a radio relay/antenna — it extends your coverage, unlocks new objectives, and lets you respawn there with supplies.
Supplies and logistics
Every base has supplies, stored at command tents and supply depots. Supplies are used to build structures, spawn vehicles, and equip from the arsenal. You move them by loading building materials onto trucks and driving them where they’re needed — logistics is a real role in Conflict, and a well-supplied front wins. Capturing enemy and neutral supply depots starves the other side. Plan what a base layout will cost with our Conflict supply calculator.
Building and defending
Near a base you can open the build menu and place structures — bunkers, sandbags, fortifications, vehicle depots, the radio antenna and more — within the allowed perimeter, paying with supplies. Building defences before a counterattack is often the difference between holding and losing a position.
Playing Conflict with a group
Conflict shines with a coordinated squad splitting roles — assault, logistics, building, command. A dedicated Arma Reforger server keeps your Conflict campaign online 24/7 so your crew can pick it up anytime, across PC, Xbox and PS5. Pick the Conflict scenario with our scenario ID picker.
