And thanks to the Enfusion engine, modding is built in and cross-platform. This guide covers how to install mods on Arma Reforger, on PC, console and your server.<\/p>\n<h2>Where mods come from: the Workshop<\/h2>\n<p>All Arma Reforger mods live in the official <strong>Workshop<\/strong>, browsable in-game or on the <a href=\"https:\/\/reforger.armaplatform.com\/workshop\" rel=\"nofollow\">Arma Platform website<\/a>. You subscribe\/download from there \u2014 no third-party sites needed.<\/p>\n<h2>Installing mods on PC<\/h2>\n<p>Open the in-game <strong>Workshop<\/strong> menu, find a mod and download it. Content is stored in <code>Documents\\My Games\\ArmaReforger\\addons<\/code>. Enable it and you&#8217;re set for single-player; for multiplayer you join servers running the same mods (they auto-download).<\/p>\n<h2>Installing mods on console<\/h2>\n<p>Console modding works through the in-game <strong>Content Workshop<\/strong>. Xbox players get up to <strong>50 GB of mod storage<\/strong>, and since <strong>Update 1.4 (May 2025)<\/strong> PlayStation 5 can also join modded servers (PS5 was excluded at launch). Some mod types may still be limited on console, so check a mod lists your platform.<\/p>\n<h2>Adding mods to your server<\/h2>\n<p>This is the important one for communities. To run mods on a <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/arma-reforger-server-hosting\">dedicated Arma Reforger server<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Find each mod on the Workshop and note its <strong>ModID, Name and Version<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Put your server in <strong>Advanced Mode<\/strong> (you must stay in Advanced Mode or your changes revert).<\/li>\n<li>Add the mods to the server&#8217;s <code>config.json<\/code> mod list.<\/li>\n<li>Restart \u2014 the <strong>server downloads all mods automatically<\/strong>; no FTP upload needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Build the mod block fast with our free <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/arma-reforger\/mod-builder\">mod list builder<\/a>, and check for required dependencies with the <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/arma-reforger\/mod-deps\">mod dependency checker<\/a> so nothing fails to load.<\/p>\n<h2>Keep crossplay in mind<\/h2>\n<p>Mods affect who can join: see our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/arma-reforger-crossplay-pc-xbox-ps5\/\">crossplay guide<\/a>.
