Building an Arsenal
The various available Arsenal objects appear in the Storage category in the Build UI.
Currently there is no functional difference between them.
Interacting with an Arsenal
Note that an Arsenal is an extra function that is assigned to a standard Arma container. As such the Arsenal crate will have both a standard inventory (accessed as per usual), and an Arsenal which can be accessed with the scroll menu. These two things have no connection other than that they are accessed through the same crate.
Opening the Arsenal
This is done simply using the scroll wheel on the Arsenal crate and selecting “Arsenal”.
It will open up (it can take a few seconds to load) on a third person view of your character, with surrounding UI.
If you can’t see your character then try rotating the camera by dragging your mouse (like moving the map) in the middle of the screen. Sometimes the camera will start inside a wall or some other occlusion.
The Arsenal UI
The basic UI components in the Arsenal are:
- The Left panel: this shows the available categories of equipment you can select from. Red indicates that you do not have any item from that category equipped.
- The Right panel: this shows available items you can transfer into the equipment you have currently selected on the Left panel. e.g. If you have the backpack category selected on the Left Panel and a backpack from it equipped, any selections you make on the Right panel will be loaded into our out of that backpack. If you unequip the backpack those selections will be lost.
- The Player view: this shows your character with labels for the various categories of equipment you can select from. You can click the labels directly to switch to that category.
Transferring to the Arsenal
You can transfer the entire contents of an object (crate or vehicle) inventory to the Arsenal in one go by doing the following:
- Ensure the object is within 10m or so of the Arsenal
- On the Arsenal create select
Inventory to Arsenal
- Now go to the object and choose
Select
from the scroll menu - All items in the inventory of the object will be transfered into the Arsenal Note: the source crate for this operation can be the Arsenal itself! This will load the inventory of the Arsenal crate into the Arsenal itself.
Transferring from the Arsenal
You can transfer items from the Arsenal to the inventory of an object (crate or vehicle) directly by doing the following:
- Ensure the object is within 10m or so of the Arsenal
- On the Arsenal crate select
Arsenal to Inventory
- Now go to the object and choose
Select
from the scroll menu - The Arsenal UI will open, and you can move items to the objects inventory as you would your own
Merging Arsenals
Sometimes you will want to merge the contents of two Arsenals together. This can be done like so:
- Ensure the Arsenals are within within 10m of each other
- On the target Arsenal crate (the one you want all items to end up in) select
Inventory to Arsenal
- Now go to the source Arsenal crate (the one you want to take items from) and choose
Select
from the scroll menu - The contents of the source Arsenal will now be in the target Arsenal
