How To Change the Map on Your Arma 3 Server
Learn how to switch between maps and terrains on your Arma 3 dedicated server.
Arma 3 includes several official maps and supports many community-made terrains through mods. Here is how to change which map your server runs.
Open the Startup Page
Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and select your Arma 3 server. In the sidebar, click Startup.
Change the Map
Find the Map or Mission field. The map is determined by the mission file you select. Common official map class names include:
| Map Name | Class Name |
|---|---|
| Altis | Altis |
| Stratis | Stratis |
| Malden | Malden |
| Tanoa (Apex DLC) | Tanoa |
| Livonia (Contact DLC) | Enoch |
Restart Your Server
Go to Console in the sidebar and restart your server.
Using Custom Maps
If you want to use a community-made map from the Steam Workshop:
Install the Map Mod
Follow the Install Mods guide to add the Workshop map mod to your server.
Update the Map Setting
In Startup, change the map class name to match the custom terrain (check the mod's Workshop page for the correct class name).
Restart Your Server
Restart the server to load the new map.
📝 Note: Players must also have the map mod installed to connect. The Arma 3 Launcher will typically prompt them to download the required mods.
