RHS: Status Quo

RHS adds some very awesome vehicles to *Arma Reforger.* Among other things.

RHS: Status Quo is the ultimate military expansion mod for Arma Reforger. It brings highly detailed representations of the U.S. Armed Forces and the Russian Federation into the game, including modern-day infantry units, vehicles, aircraft, and weaponry. With over 20 years of Arma Reforger modding experience behind the team, the RHS series consistently delivers top-tier quality mods.

In this mod you get access to advanced tanks, helicopters, ballistic missiles, and aircraft like the FA-18C and SU variants. Realistic radio systems, immersive visual effects, and mission-critical details like spawn points and arsenal boxes are also included. If you want a truly modern battlefield simulation, this is the foundation of Arma Reforger mods to install.

ACE Anvil Suite

Building on the legendary ACE system from Arma 3, the ACE Anvil Suite brings advanced realism to Arma Reforger with modular functionality. From backblast effects and realistic compass usage to field medical systems and trench building, this mod turns a milsim into a deeply strategic experience.

Its medical module deserves special mention—introducing second-chance mechanics, more believable injury responses, and configurable healing mechanics that eliminate the overly simplistic vanilla system. It's ideal for players or communities seeking granular control over realism, while keeping things accessible for solo and casual players via modular toggles.

Bacon Loadout Editor

The Bacon Loadout Editor revolutionizes Reforger’s cumbersome inventory system. This intuitive tool allows for precise weapon customization—including sights, launchers, flashlights, and rail attachments—and lets you save and share entire kits across multiplayer scenarios or singleplayer campaigns.

Perfect for both casual players and server administrators, it streamlines preparation time and drastically enhances immersion. Players can also replicate real-world configurations with ease, giving this mod both functional and aesthetic value.

Shoot House Beta

Shoot houses make for fun *Arma Reforger* mods.

If Close Quarters Battle (CQB) training or room-clearing operations are your thing, Shoot House Beta is an absolute gem of all Arma Reforger mods. It lets you build fully modular indoor training environments through Game Master or Workbench, complete with destructible doors and upcoming explosive breaching support.

Tactical units and realism communities especially benefit from this mod, as it enables the recreation of shoot houses seen in special forces training. It’s not just for roleplay—it adds structure to mission prep and serves as a sandbox for dynamic combat drills.

VPad (Virtual Tablet GPS)

VPad introduces a military-style tablet system that allows you to monitor maps in real-time while moving, driving, or flying. It features automatic map-centering and a more modern, intuitive interface than the vanilla map, which many players find clunky.

Especially valuable for modern operations and modded factions, this tool makes battlefield navigation feel cutting-edge. It’s also a subtle reminder of how far Reforger has come in embracing modern military tech and convenience.

Enhanced Weapon Immersion Pack (Ashel)

Created by a single modder, Ashel, this pack includes four standout mods: Enhanced Weapon Immersion, Better Muzzle Flashes, Better Hit Effects, and Better Tracers. Together, they elevate Reforger’s gunplay to cinematic heights.

Expect realistic recoil, satisfying muzzle flares, visible tracer rounds, and dramatic impact effects when bullets hit flesh, walls, or armor. These enhancements don’t just look good—they make each firefight more intense, more believable, and more memorable.

Atmospheric Weather by EO

The Atmospheric Weather *Arma Reforger* mod makes the game look pretty sick.

This mod is a transformative visual overhaul for Reforger's weather systems. It adds volumetric clouds, new extreme weather states, lower base cloud levels, and more realistic wind speeds—all without any noticeable performance impact.

The result is breathtaking. Whether you're trudging through a storm or patrolling at dawn, the atmospheric conditions feel more alive. It enhances immersion significantly, making it feel like you're genuinely operating under a dynamic sky.

Tactical Animation Overhaul

This Arma Reforger mod adds new weapon-handling animations for rifles, with plans for pistols and MGs soon. It introduces weapon canting, blind fire, and more tactical posture options, making your soldier feel far more lifelike.

The animations also serve a tactical purpose—blind fire is helpful when suppressing enemies from trenches or through windows, and the canning animations make your operator look professional and deadly. It’s one of those mods you didn’t know you needed until you used it.

WCS AH-6M Little Bird

Of all *Arma Reforger* mods that add vehicles the little bird is the one you will see most often.

A love letter to Arma’s aviation enthusiasts, this Arma Reforger mod introduces a beautifully crafted AH-6M Little Bird helicopter with ten unique variants. Its high-quality textures, stable flight dynamics, and consistent updates make it a staple in any modded server with air operations.

Whether you're inserting a special ops team under fire or performing recon, the Little Bird is agile, iconic, and highly versatile. It’s the go-to mod for rotary-wing missions with a tactical edge.

If you’re wondering what the tenth best mod is then of course it is WCS! The most expansive mod that adds so much to the game.

The Arma Reforger Overthrow mod is also pretty sweet.
