The short answer is yes \u2014 and as of the current 1.6 build there are more ways to do it than ever. Between the new single-player Campaign, solo-friendly Combat Ops, local Game Master sessions, and the option to host your own private Conflict server, you have a complete sandbox to learn Bohemia Interactive&#8217;s Enfusion-powered shooter at your own pace. This guide walks through every solo and offline path, how to save a hosted session, the core mechanics that trip up beginners, and a practice route that takes you from confused to competent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Play Arma Reforger Solo or Offline?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Arma Reforger is built around large-scale multiplayer, but it ships with several genuinely solo-playable experiences. There are four practical routes for playing alone, and each suits a different goal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Single-player Campaign (Operation Omega)<\/strong> \u2014 a proper offline story campaign added in 1.6, with no other humans required.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combat Ops<\/strong> \u2014 randomized solo\/co-op missions you can complete entirely on your own in roughly 45\u201360 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Game Master (GM)<\/strong> \u2014 a Zeus-style sandbox where you can run a local session, spawn anything, and experiment freely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hosting a local Conflict server<\/strong> \u2014 spin up your own private instance of the flagship mode and play in it solo or invite a few friends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Importantly, you do <em>not<\/em> need to be online to enjoy the Campaign, Combat Ops, or a local Game Master scenario \u2014 these run on your machine. If you want to play in a hosted Conflict server, you&#8217;ll need to launch a server process, which can also run locally on the same PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Single-Player Campaign: Operation Omega<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standout addition in the 1.6 update is <strong>Operation Omega<\/strong>, the game&#8217;s first true offline single-player Campaign. Set in 1989, it drops you into a US special-forces raid on the island of <strong>Kolguyev<\/strong> \u2014 a brand-new map introduced alongside the campaign in 1.6, joining the existing Everon and Arland terrains. This is the mode to pick if you want a directed, narrative-driven experience rather than open sandbox play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Operation Omega is designed for solo play, it&#8217;s the gentlest on-ramp for learning the fundamentals \u2014 movement, weapon handling, and the medical system \u2014 under controlled conditions before you ever touch a competitive Conflict match. If you&#8217;re completely new to the Arma platform, start here. For a broader orientation to the game&#8217;s systems, our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/comprehensive-beginners-guide-to-arma-reforger-tips-and-tricks-for-newbies\/\">beginner&#8217;s guide with tips and tricks for newbies<\/a> pairs well with the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combat Ops: The Best Solo Practice Ground<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Combat Ops<\/strong> is a randomized mission mode where you&#8217;re handed objectives like destroying vehicles, clearing areas, or assassinating a target, after which you extract. Sessions run roughly <strong>45\u201360 minutes<\/strong>, and crucially, they&#8217;re fully playable solo. There are two official Combat Ops scenarios \u2014 one on Arland and one on Everon \u2014 and because objectives are randomized, every run feels fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combat Ops is the perfect bridge between the scripted Campaign and live multiplayer. You face real AI under realistic conditions, you have to navigate by map, manage your loadout weight, and apply medical care when you take fire \u2014 all without the pressure of human opponents. Treat it as your shooting range with stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game Master: Your Personal Sandbox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Game Master (GM)<\/strong> is Arma Reforger&#8217;s Zeus-style mode. It gives you real-time, god-mode control of the world: spawn AI squads, place objects and vehicles, set up firefights, and direct a dynamic scenario as it unfolds. You can play GM as the omniscient &#8220;director,&#8221; drop into a soldier&#8217;s body, or do both. It&#8217;s available across all three maps \u2014 Everon, Arland, and Kolguyev.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For solo learners, Game Master is invaluable. Want to practice treating a chest wound? Spawn an enemy, take a hit, and patch yourself up. Want to learn vehicle controls? Spawn a truck or helicopter with no consequences. Game Master also has a second, critical job that we&#8217;ll cover below: it&#8217;s how you <strong>manually save<\/strong> a hosted session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hosting a Local Conflict Server for Solo Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conflict<\/strong> is Arma Reforger&#8217;s flagship large-scale mode: you pick a faction (US vs USSR, with FIA as a third force), capture bases that fall within radio range, manage supply lines, build services, and spawn vehicles and weapons from the arsenal. In 1.6 the classic Conflict was reworked toward a Headquarters Commander (HQC) command-layer experience, so expect more of a command-and-control feel than older builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can run Conflict privately by launching your own dedicated server \u2014 even on the same machine you play on. The dedicated server installs via SteamCMD as an anonymous (free) download, so you don&#8217;t need to own a second copy of the game on the host. The stable dedicated-server <strong>SteamCMD app ID is <code>1874900<\/code><\/strong> (the experimental branch is <code>1890870<\/code>; the game client, which you don&#8217;t need to host, is <code>1874880<\/code>). There are genuine native binaries for both platforms \u2014 <code>ArmaReforgerServer.exe<\/code> on Windows and <code>.\/ArmaReforgerServer<\/code> on Linux, with no Proton or Wine required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s the Windows install command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir \"C:\\ArmaReforger\\Server\" +login anonymous +app_update 1874900 validate +quit<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once installed, you launch the server with a config file and a few startup parameters. Capping the frame rate with <code>-maxFPS<\/code> is strongly recommended \u2014 without it the server will happily pin a CPU core running at thousands of frames per second:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code># Windows\nArmaReforgerServer.exe -config \".\\Configs\\ServerConfig.json\" -maxFPS 60 -profile \".\\profile\"\n\n# Linux\n.\/ArmaReforgerServer -config \/path\/to\/config.json -maxFPS 60 -profile \/path\/to\/profile<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;d rather skip the manual SteamCMD setup entirely and have a managed instance ready in minutes, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/arma-reforger-server-hosting\">spin up a ready-to-go Arma Reforger server<\/a> instead \u2014 handy when you want friends to join your &#8220;solo&#8221; world later. For a deeper technical walkthrough of doing it yourself, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/how-to-set-up-an-arma-reforger-server-xgamingserver-hosting-guide\/\">step-by-step Arma Reforger server setup guide<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/docs\/arma-reforger\">Arma Reforger hosting documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Minimal Local Conflict Config<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arma Reforger uses a <strong>JSON<\/strong> server config \u2014 not a classic Arma <code>.cfg<\/code> file \u2014 and every key is case-sensitive. Note that IPv6 is not supported. For a private local game you can keep it lean. The example below loads Conflict on Everon, sets an admin password, and uses sensible defaults. The default ports are baked in: game traffic on UDP <strong>2001<\/strong>, the Steam\/A2S query on <strong>17777<\/strong>, and RCON on <strong>19999<\/strong> if you enable it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>{\n  \"bindAddress\": \"\",\n  \"bindPort\": 2001,\n  \"publicAddress\": \"\",\n  \"publicPort\": 2001,\n  \"a2s\": {\n    \"address\": \"0.0.0.0\",\n    \"port\": 17777\n  },\n  \"rcon\": {\n    \"address\": \"127.0.0.1\",\n    \"port\": 19999,\n    \"password\": \"ChangeMe123\",\n    \"permission\": \"admin\",\n    \"maxClients\": 16,\n    \"blacklist\": [],\n    \"whitelist\": []\n  },\n  \"game\": {\n    \"name\": \"My Solo Reforger Server\",\n    \"password\": \"\",\n    \"passwordAdmin\": \"SuperSecretAdminPass\",\n    \"admins\": [],\n    \"scenarioId\": \"{ECC61978EDCC2B5A}Missions\/23_Campaign.conf\",\n    \"maxPlayers\": 64,\n    \"visible\": false,\n    \"crossPlatform\": false,\n    \"supportedPlatforms\": [\"PLATFORM_PC\"],\n    \"gameProperties\": {\n      \"serverMaxViewDistance\": 1600,\n      \"serverMinGrassDistance\": 0,\n      \"networkViewDistance\": 1500,\n      \"fastValidation\": true,\n      \"battlEye\": true\n    },\n    \"mods\": []\n  },\n  \"operating\": {\n    \"lobbyPlayerSynchronise\": true,\n    \"playerSaveTime\": 120,\n    \"aiLimit\": -1,\n    \"slotReservationTimeout\": 60,\n    \"joinQueue\": { \"maxSize\": 0 }\n  }\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few notes for a solo setup: set <code>\"visible\": false<\/code> to keep your server out of the public browser, leave <code>\"password\"<\/code> blank for an open join or set one to lock it down, and use <code>passwordAdmin<\/code> (which must contain no spaces) to grant yourself admin in-game. The <code>maxPlayers<\/code> field defaults to 64 and accepts a range of 1\u2013128 \u2014 drop it to 1 if you truly want a private game. For the full breakdown of every field, our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/arma-reforger-server-configuration-guide\/\">complete server configuration guide<\/a> goes section by section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Picking Your Scenario<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <code>scenarioId<\/code> field decides what loads. Its format is <code>{16-HEX-GUID}Missions\/FileName.conf<\/code> \u2014 the braced GUID identifies the owning resource (the base game or a specific mod), followed by the path to the scenario file. There are around 31 official scenarios in total; here are the canonical ones you&#8217;ll most likely want for solo and small-group play:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Scenario<\/th><th>scenarioId<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr><td>Conflict \u2013 Everon<\/td><td><code>{ECC61978EDCC2B5A}Missions\/23_Campaign.conf<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Conflict \u2013 Arland<\/td><td><code>{C41618FD18E9D714}Missions\/23_Campaign_Arland.conf<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Conflict \u2013 Northern Everon<\/td><td><code>{C700DB41F0C546E1}Missions\/23_Campaign_NorthCentral.conf<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Game Master \u2013 Everon<\/td><td><code>{59AD59368755F41A}Missions\/21_GM_Eden.conf<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Game Master \u2013 Kolguyev<\/td><td><code>{F45C6C15D31252E6}Missions\/27_GM_Cain.conf<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Combat Ops \u2013 Everon<\/td><td><code>{DFAC5FABD11F2390}Missions\/26_CombatOpsEveron.conf<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Combat Ops \u2013 Arland<\/td><td><code>{DAA03C6E6099D50F}Missions\/24_CombatOps.conf<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Tutorial<\/td><td><code>{002AF7323E0129AF}Missions\/Tutorial.conf<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you ever load mods or lose track of a scenario&#8217;s GUID, launch the server with the <code>-listScenarios<\/code> parameter \u2014 it prints every loadable scenario ID on startup, including those provided by mods. Want to build your own mission? See our walkthrough on <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-custom-scenario-in-arma-reforger-a-guide\/\">creating a custom scenario in Arma Reforger<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Save a Hosted Conflict Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the part that confuses most solo hosts: Conflict doesn&#8217;t have a simple &#8220;Save Game&#8221; button like a traditional single-player title. To save a hosted Conflict session, you enter <strong>Game Master<\/strong> and perform a <strong>manual, named save<\/strong>, which you can reload later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flow looks like this: log in as admin using the <code>passwordAdmin<\/code> you set, open Game Master, and use its save function to write a named snapshot of the current world state. Because the save is named, you can keep multiple checkpoints and roll back to whichever one you like. This is also why Game Master is more than a sandbox toy \u2014 it&#8217;s effectively the persistence and administration layer for your hosted world. Keep in mind the <code>playerSaveTime<\/code> field (default 120 seconds) controls how often player state is written; that&#8217;s separate from your manual world saves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Core Mechanics for Your First Solo Session<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arma Reforger is a simulation first and a shooter second. These are the systems that catch newcomers off guard, and getting comfortable with them solo will save you a lot of frustration online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stamina and Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your loadout weight directly affects stamina. Overload yourself and you&#8217;ll move slowly and gas out fast in a firefight. Pack deliberately \u2014 only carry what the mission demands. This is one of the first lessons the Campaign quietly teaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Medical System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Healing is detailed and worth practicing before you bleed out in front of strangers. Damage causes bleeding that drains blood over time; as your blood drops, your vision distorts and loses color, then you pass out and eventually die if untreated. The core items are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bandage (field dressing)<\/strong> \u2014 stops bleeding. Works on all body areas including the torso and head. Single-use, weighs 0.1 kg, and applies relatively slowly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tourniquet<\/strong> \u2014 dramatically slows bleeding to a near-stop, but only on extremities (arms and legs). It cannot be used on the torso, neck, or head, so those wounds must be bandaged. Reusable and removable; it restricts leg movement and reduces arm accuracy while applied. Use it to buy time, then bandage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saline bag<\/strong> \u2014 normalizes and replenishes blood levels over time. Single-use, weighs 0.5 kg. Community guides report it restores blood over roughly 90 seconds up to around 1,500 blood units, though Bohemia&#8217;s official Boot Camp page doesn&#8217;t state those exact figures \u2014 treat them as approximate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Morphine injector<\/strong> \u2014 a painkiller that reduces weapon sway, improves visibility, speeds healing, and can wake an unconscious player faster. Single-use, weighs 0.02 kg. (Painkillers and morphine are the same item class here.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a player&#8217;s blood gets severely depleted they go unconscious \u2014 vision is severely limited and movement is disabled \u2014 and they may not self-recover. Solo, that means death if you can&#8217;t stabilize in time, which is exactly why practicing self-treatment matters. In a squad, a teammate bandages to stop the loss, gives saline to restore blood, and can use morphine to speed waking. For the full treatment loop, read our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/a-guide-to-the-medic-role-in-arma-reforger\/\">guide to the medic role in Arma Reforger<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weapon Handling and Zeroing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ballistics are realistic. Sights can be zeroed to a range, and you&#8217;ll need to adjust your zeroing for distance and account for bullet drop on longer shots. Recoil and sway are significant \u2014 steadying your aim and using morphine both reduce sway. Combat Ops and Game Master are ideal places to drill marksmanship without a clock or an audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supplies, Bases, and Navigation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Conflict you capture and link bases via radio range and antennas, then transport and manage supplies to build services, spawn vehicles, and buy weapons from the arsenal. Disrupting the enemy&#8217;s radio network is how you contest territory. Navigation is manual \u2014 learn to read the paper map (and GPS where issued), because there&#8217;s no objective marker holding your hand. Beginner-friendly quality-of-life mods like <strong>Where Am I<\/strong> mark your position while you&#8217;re still learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Recommended Solo Practice Path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tie it all together with this progression, designed to build skills in the right order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Run the Tutorial<\/strong> to learn the controls and interface basics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Play through Operation Omega<\/strong>, the single-player Campaign, for a guided introduction to movement, combat, and medical care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spawn a Game Master session<\/strong> to deliberately practice the things that scared you \u2014 patching wounds, driving vehicles, zeroing your sights \u2014 with zero consequences.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tackle Combat Ops solo<\/strong> for 45\u201360 minutes of realistic, randomized objectives against AI.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Host a private Conflict server<\/strong>, learn the supply-and-base loop at your own pace, and save your world via Game Master so you can return to it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invite friends or join a public server<\/strong> once you&#8217;re confident \u2014 and consider a managed host so the server stays online when you&#8217;re not.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you start adding mods, keep your stack focused and mind console compatibility. If you plan to let Xbox or PlayStation friends join, see our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/how-to-make-arma-reforger-server-cross-platform\/\">making your Arma Reforger server cross-platform<\/a> \u2014 scripted mods can silently exclude PS5 players. For inspiration on what to install, browse our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/the-best-mods-for-arma-reforger-in-2024\/\">roundup of the best Arma Reforger mods<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Arma Reforger have a single-player campaign?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The 1.6 update added <strong>Operation Omega<\/strong>, a proper offline single-player campaign set in 1989 on the new Kolguyev map, featuring a US special-forces raid. Before 1.6, solo play was limited to Combat Ops and Game Master, so if you remember the game lacking a campaign, that changed with the current build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you play Arma Reforger offline with bots?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Combat Ops pits you against AI in randomized missions you can finish solo, and Game Master lets you spawn AI squads and entire battles to fight on your own. You can also host a local Conflict server, where AI fills out the opposing faction. None of these require other human players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I save my progress in a hosted Conflict game?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conflict has no one-click save. Log in as admin with your <code>passwordAdmin<\/code>, enter <strong>Game Master<\/strong>, and perform a manual, named save of the world state. You can reload that named save later, and you can keep several checkpoints. The <code>playerSaveTime<\/code> setting (default 120 seconds) handles automatic player-state saving separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need to own the game to host my own server?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. The dedicated server installs anonymously through SteamCMD using app ID <code>1874900<\/code> (stable branch) \u2014 you log in as <code>anonymous<\/code> and don&#8217;t need a purchased copy on the host machine. You do, of course, need the game on the client you actually play on. There are native binaries for both Windows (<code>ArmaReforgerServer.exe<\/code>) and Linux (<code>.\/ArmaReforgerServer<\/code>), with no Wine or Proton needed on Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does a Combat Ops mission take to play solo?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A typical Combat Ops session runs about <strong>45 to 60 minutes<\/strong> from insertion to extraction. Objectives are randomized \u2014 destroying vehicles, clearing areas, or assassinating a target \u2014 so replay value is high and no two runs play out the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which ports do I need to open to host a Conflict server at home?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open UDP <strong>2001<\/strong> for game traffic and UDP <strong>17777<\/strong> for the Steam\/A2S query so the server appears in the browser. If you enable RCON, also open port <strong>19999<\/strong> as defined in your config. For a purely local solo game on the same PC you typically don&#8217;t need to forward anything, but you will for friends connecting over the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- xg-tools-mesh -->\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group xg-tools-box is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.1);border-radius:12px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:8px;background:rgba(76,175,80,.04);\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Arma Reforger Tools<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speed up your server with our free Arma Reforger tools:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/arma-reforger\/map\">Interactive Map<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the first questions new recruits ask is whether you can play Arma Reforger on your own, away from the chaos of a 64-player public server.
