How to install mods on your Arma 3 server from the panel

🎖️ Arma 3 mods, straight from the panel

Arma 3 lives on its mods: from CBA_A3 to ACE, RHS or entire maps. Loading them by hand means building the -mod= parameter list and downloading each one via SteamCMD. At ZentexNode we simplify it with a self-service Mods tab.

🧭 1. Open the «Mods» tab

In your server's side menu (the Game section) click Mods. It works the same for every Workshop game: paste and go.

📋 2. Prepare your Workshop collection

The recommended way is to create a Steam Workshop collection for Arma 3 with all the mods you want, respecting load order and dependencies (for example CBA_A3 first). You can also paste individual Workshop IDs.

📥 3. Paste and save

Paste the collection link (or the IDs) into the Mods tab and save. We expand the collection, pull all the IDs and set them up on your server. No need to touch startup parameters or upload files.

🔄 4. Downloading the mods

When the list is applied, the server flags the download of the mods from the Workshop. Arma 3 mods can be very large (several GB), so the first download takes a while; you can follow the progress in the console.

🧩 5. Players need the same mods

Unlike other games, in Arma 3 players must load the same mods as the server to be able to join. Share your Workshop collection with them: once subscribed, the Arma 3 launcher loads them automatically and everyone plays with the same setup.

Deploy your Arma 3 server at ZentexNode with automatic setup, Anti-DDoS Pro and mods without tickets.
