How to start playing
This guide will walk you through the process of joining the Triad Tactics project — from submitting your application to playing your first mission
Step 1. Sign in and apply
To get started, you need to own Arma Reforger on Steam. Visit the Triad Tactics website and sign in with your Steam account. After signing in, you will be directed to the application form
- Your Steam profile and game details must be set to public, and Arma Reforger must be visible on your profile
- Fill out all required fields carefully. Pay special attention to the gaming experience and motivation questions — admins evaluate applications based on them
- Your callsign must be unique, 1-12 characters, using only letters, numbers, and underscores
- You must be 18 or older to apply
- This is an application to access the Triad Tactics project, not to join the Triad Team unit
Step 2. Wait for review
After submitting your application, an admin will review it. This process can take some time — please be patient, it may take a few days. You will receive an email notification once your application is approved. After approval, sign in again to access the full website
Step 3. Read the rules
Before your first game, make sure to read the community rules. They cover conduct expectations, slotting procedures, and in-game behavior. Understanding the rules will help you have a better experience and avoid misunderstandings
Step 4. Wait for a mission
Missions are published on the Games page. Only one mission is available at a time. When a new mission is published, you will see it on the main page. Check the website regularly or follow announcements in our Discord and Telegram channels
How missions work
A mission is a pre-prepared set of episodes created by the administrators. They are connected by a shared theme, structure, and sequence
A mission usually consists of several episodes, which take place one after another
The duration of a mission is approximately 4 hours, while a single episode lasts on average from 1 to 1.5 hours
Player categories
There are three categories of players in each mission:
- Unit players — members of official Triad Tactics units. Their slots are pre-assigned on the slotting board and marked with the unit tag. Unit members receive the password from their commander
- Priority players — players who earned a special badge through contributions like server testing or event support. They can claim any open priority slot on the slotting board before the game
- Regular players — everyone else. Regular players join the mission through the Join mission button. Being on the list does not guarantee a slot, but when admins release regular access, everyone on the list receives the gameplay password
Slotting board
After a mission is published, the admin sets up the slotting board — a table showing all units, roles, and available positions. Unit slots are pre-assigned. Priority players can then claim any open priority slot. Regular players join the regular list using the Join mission button
- If you see your unit tag on the board, wait for your unit leader's instructions
- If you have a priority badge, find and claim an open priority slot
- If you are a regular player, press Join mission to add your callsign to the regular list
Passwords and connecting
There are two passwords for each mission:
- Mod-download password — released first so all approved players can download the required mods
- Gameplay password — released closer to game time. Unit members receive it from their leaders first, then priority players see it on the mission page, and finally regular players get access
Passwords appear in the Server section of the mission page when they become available for your category. Server passwords are confidential — sharing them with unauthorized people is forbidden
Getting help on the mission page
Each mission page has a Help button that opens a detailed guide about how the mission page works, player categories, the slotting board, and password distribution
