How to Deploy Radio Respawn Points on Your Arma Reforger Server
Understand and manage radio respawn points in Arma Reforger Conflict mode — how players deploy them and what admins can control.
In Arma Reforger's Conflict game mode, radio respawn points let your team set up forward spawn locations. They're placed by players during gameplay, not configured in server settings. Admins have limited control through Game Master mode.
How Radio Respawns Work
Radio respawn points are deployable items in Conflict scenarios that create temporary spawn locations for your faction. They're placed by players, not the server.
Place a Radio Respawn (Player Action)
Get a radio backpack
Pick one up from a supply depot, vehicle, or HQ.
Find a strategic location
Choose a spot away from enemy bases, ideally with cover and close to objectives.
Place the radio
Interact with the ground (default key: hold to deploy) to place the radio.
Use as spawn
Your team can now select this radio as a spawn point from the deploy screen.
Radio Respawn Rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Per-faction limit | Each faction can have a limited number of active radios |
| Destructible | Enemy team can destroy them |
| Range restriction | Must be placed within a certain range of friendly territory |
| No-go zones | Placement near enemy bases may be restricted depending on the scenario |
Admin Management via Game Master
Admins can interact with radio spawns through Game Master mode.
Authenticate as admin
Open chat (press C in lobby or Enter in-game) and type:
#login YourAdminPasswordOpen Game Master
From the pause menu, select Game Master.
Manage spawned objects
Use the Game Master tools to monitor and remove deployed radios, or place new ones at custom locations.
Note: Radio respawn behavior is controlled by the scenario itself. Server admins cannot modify radio spawn limits, range, or restrictions through
config.json— these are built into the Conflict game mode logic.
Customizing Respawn Behavior
To modify radio respawn rules (limits, range, destructibility), you need a custom scenario or mod. Some community mods on the Workshop offer customizable respawn settings — search for "respawn" or "logistics" mods.
See Workshop Scenarios for how to add custom scenarios.
