Introduction
First off, welcome to Tactical Distractions.
This document is meant to serve as a handy reference guide to take you through setting up the game so you can come and play with us. Hopefully it’s simple enough that you can work through it, but I’m not about to put server passwords and such in here, so you’ll have to ask your recruiter about those. These points will be highlighted clearly.
If you follow the steps below you’ll end up with everything set up so you can go through our simple Boot Camp and jump into the mayhem with us. Additionally, if you haven’t been invited to our Facebook group and chat, ask your recruiter to do that, it’s generally the best way to get quick assistance with any issues that might arise
Suggestions on how to improve this document are gratefully received.
Things to Download
From Steam
Arma 3
This is the core game, although we play with some DLCs and Mods as you’ll find below.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/107410/Arma_3/
At the time of writing it was priced at £23.99, but frequently features in Steam Sales if cost is
a limiting factor.
The minimum system requirements are below:
DLCs
There are a lot of DLCs for this game, but you only need 2 to play our campaign;
- Prairie Fire - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1227700/Arma_3_Creator_DLC_SOG_Prairie_Fire/
- Spearhead 1944 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1175380/Arma_3_Creator_DLC_Spearhead_1944/
At the time of writing these are £19.99 and £14.99 respectively, but again, they often feature in the sales.
Teamspeak 3
We run our in-game comms via Teamspeak, as this allows for location based audio. This can be downloaded from the creators here - https://teamspeak.com/en/downloads/
Once it’s downloaded and open, go to Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks and the bookmarks window will open. In the bottom left click Add Bookmark and another new window will open.
