Infantry only servers will have “INFANTRY ONLY” or possibly “INF” in the server name. Look for servers running the v12 version of King of the Hill but, everyone’s stats were reset for the update to v10. Some servers such as Hostile Takeover are still running the older v9.6 King of The Hill if you can’t deal with the stat wipe.
This is a list of weapon mods that I use for Arma 3 and any additional things that help them out.
JSRS2 is a sound mod that adds tons of sounds to arma 3 including sounds for the vanilla weapons that change depending on location in relation to the gun shots, making fire fights much more immersive.
ASDG Joint rails improves the way the rail system works (I think) in Arma 3. Most weapon mods have support for it.
HLC G3 pack adds some super awesome and cool G3 rifles and FAL rifles.
HLC Core is part of the HLC weapons series. This is necessary for other HLC weapon packs as it has the custom animations that the other packs use.
HLC AR15 adds lots of AR15 rifles including the honey badger and magpul rifles. This is great for any sort of 'Special forces' units you want to create or for use in missions.
HLC AK pack has a range of AK rifles, from the rugged AK47 to the stylish modern AK12. This mod has it. With custom animations, sounds and support for ASDG joint rails. This pack is probably my favourite AK pack for arma.
R3F French weapons adds lots of French weapons. I just use this for its varieties of the HK416 and HK417, which are massive improvements of massis weapon pack's HK416 and 17.
MP7, adds lots of colour variants of the MP7 (and coloured suppressors) with support for multiple attachment mods. Has a nice MP7 sidearm as well.
RH M4/M16 pack adds loads of more standard looking M4/M16 weapons. This is great with the HLC AR15 pack so you have a mix of standard and more 'special forces' looking AR15s.
RH Pistol pack adds lots of high quality pistols to the game with their own custom attachments. Mostly just muzzle attachments like different suppressors, muzzle breaks and flash hiders.
IanSky's scope mod a couple of reflex sights into Arma 3. I mostly just use his aimpoint sight as it worse great in CQB but the others still look and perform great.
FHQ Accessories pack adds lots of sights and rail attachments. This is certainly a must for me if you are using any weapon mods.
EricJ weapons pack adds some weapons like HK416, Scar-H/L, M249 and some others. I just use it for the Scar weapons as they look the best and sound the best compared to other Scar weapon mods.
BWMod is a mod that adds tons of stuff in in the form of a new faction. The German armed forces. While some of the weapons are not the best looking, there are no recycled sounds (like Massi's weapon pack) and has it's own attachments to use with the rifles. Trixies launcher pack includes the Javelin and the SMAW, with multiple missile types. It also includes top down attack config files if you are using it.
Trixie's sniper/marksman pack adds lots of snipers, marksman rifles and attachments to Arma 3. It has ghille, green and black variants of everything (or most things) and its own 3 custom ghille suits that look better than the current Arma 3 ones. This pack would be perfect for sniping but there are some bugs with some scopes and 2 or 3 sniper rifles share the same sound that has been ripped from the COD4 M40A5 sound.
AGM makes the game much more impressive through its own medical system, repacking mags, weapon resting and tons of other features. While not strictly a weapons mod, it does change and in my opinion improve the combat in Arma 3 a lot.
These are what I use for Arma 3. Most, if not all will contain support for ASDG joint rails and FHQ attachments. Remember to get CBA as a lot of mods require it. If you feel anything should be added comment and I'll add it if it looks good so that others can see it. Bear in mind that I use a lot of mods for a lot of little bits from each so don't expect any of these mods to be perfect, but they are each good things to use.

While hyper-realistic and extremely difficult shooters are all the rage now with games like Squad and Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, the critically acclaimed Arma has the main tent pole of that sub-genre for a long time.
Offering more than just a gritty and difficult military experience, Arma is a franchise that's also always been known for its stellar mods, with titans like DayZ arriving in earlier series entries.
The game's third installment is no exception -- and there's a reason why four years after its release, Arma 3is still going strong on the mod front. Currently, players have access to more than 40,000 various map, item, scenario, and overhaul mods across the Steam Workshop and various modding sites.
It's impossible to go through all of these independently, so we've done some of the leg work and curated 10 of the top-notch mods for Arma 3 that show off what's possible with a little bit of modding know-how and a lot of ingenuity.
Baphomet
What the heck... Hellgate London meets the realism of Arma? This is a mod you wouldn't expect to see, but it definitely exists. Baphoment changes the game into an alternate future timeline where the earth is under assault via portals to hell.
Custom ambient music and the dark red color tone make this one pretty legitimately chilling to play as you tackle missions to roll back the zombie and demon hordes!
Unsung: Vietnam War Mod
Before Rising Storm 2 finally arrived, this was the place to go for a crazy Vietnam war experience. The amount of work that went into this mod is sort of ridiculous -- new terrains and maps, a crop of ground and air vehicles, authentically-equipped units from the time period, and 80 new period-specific weapons all arrive to throw you straight into the action.
Wasteland
At this point, you don't really need to download anything for Wasteland, since there are so many servers running it without the need to personally install any mod resources.
This is the big sandbox mod for Arma 3, frequently referred to as 'DayZ minus the undead'. And that assessment is not far off base. Camp somewhere, find loot where you can, and get ready to die a lot.
Battle Royale
An oldie but goodie, Battle Royale is all about free-for-all survival on a massive scale. You will always be on the hunt for equipment and ammo as the player count drops and you end up stalking the remaining survivors until there's only one winner standing. If this sounds a lot like PUBG, that's because it's designed by the same guy.
RHS: Armed Forces Of The Russian Federation
This one actually took home a pretty hefty monetary prize for winning Bohemia's 'Make Arma Not War' modding contest. There are several different mods in this line, all adding in realistic infantry and vehicles from the Russian Federation, United States, and more.
Accurate uniforms, headgear, backpacks, are all included, in addition to a whole new fire control system for vehicles. Its basically a whole new Arma 3.
Extended Fortifications
While a few of the additions are a bit wonky, overall this is a killer mod that drastically extends your fortification possibilities. A whopping 94 different modular base elements are featured -- from steel barriers and wood panels to staircases, support beams, concrete pylons, and a whole lot more.
CUP Weapons
With more than 40k mods available, obviously there's been a lot of collaboration between community members -- and that's where the CUP (Community Upgrade Project) mods come in.
The Weapons version of these mod packs strives to bring in extra content (specifically from the previous Arma titles) into the third main entry, extending out the number of weapons available and tweaking those new arms to match the game's functionality.
Machine guns, shotguns, rifles, grenade launchers, pistols, sniper rifles, and a host of attachments are all added here.
VSM Uniforms
There are more uniform and decal mods for Arma 3 than a single person could probably count -- so if you just want one with tons of options, go for this VSM addition that has it all in one place.
If what you are looking for isn't in this particular pack, just hit the Steam Workshop and search for 'VSM' to find about a hundred other high quality mods that add in new camo, vests, helmets, accessories, and just about any other type of gear.
Jurassic Props
Unlike a lot of other mods, this one doesn't radically change the whole game, except perhaps in tone. Yes, that's the gateway to Jurassic Park you see there. While rather limited at the moment (the gate doesn't actually open and there are no dinos), the mod does add in a bunch of JP themed objects that will definitely alter the feel of any given Arma 3 match.
I can't wait to see where this one goes, and hopefully someone will pick up the torch and carry us to the finish line with a dinosaur total overhaul in the same vein as all those zombie mods.
Apex Species Sharks
This mod really shows the dedication (and sometimes oddity) of the Arma modding community. Does this military shooter really need hyper-realistic sharks based on extensive research by the Australian Institute of Marine Science? I can't say that it particularly does, but we got it anyway.
The mod adds in male and female sharks that swim around, hunt, bleed, behave differently in night and day, and only become aggressive if there aren't any other large fish food sources around. If you want to take time off from war to study marine biology, then have it my friend!
Zombies And Demons
If modding has taught us anything, its that people want zombies added to everything. Another entry in a long line of mods that throw hordes of the walking dead into a shooter, Zombies And Demons shines by being customizable -- letting you decide just how strong those zombies are (from barely standing shambling dead to super powered hellish monstrosities).
Sure, we've left realism behind at this point, but who doesn't want to skip the typical warfare to gun down some walkers every now and again?
There you have it -- from new uniforms to entirely different game modes, these are some of the very best mods available at the moment. But remember -- a mere 10 out of 40,000+ mods doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what's available if you want a whole new Arma 3 experience.
What did you think of our picks, and what top tier mods would you recommend for players who want to shake up their Armamatches with new dynamics? Let us know down in the comments!
