Getting started

This is an Ultra Hardcore PvP server. The mode is RAAS on Novobakhmutivka: two sides fight over a chain of objectives, and only the front can be taken. Every soldier on the map is a player. There is no AI.

Ultra Hardcore here means:

• ACE medical. Wounds bleed until someone treats them. You can be knocked out and die.
• Rank and supply. Better gear needs rank, and all gear costs supply.
• XP penalties. A team kill costs twice what an enemy kill pays.
• Limited vehicles. Each side can only field so many.
• HQ spawns only. No spawning on radio backpacks or forward spawn points.
• A limited HUD. Map markers show your own squad, without names. Your whole side also sees squad leaders, players within 50 m of their leader, and friendly vehicles with a driver. FOV is capped at 100.

Find the server

The server is crossplay: PC, Xbox and PlayStation players join the same server.

1. Start Arma Reforger and open Multiplayer.
2. Go to the Community tab and type Call Sign Chan in the search box.
3. Pick [NA1] Call Sign Chan | UHC | Novobakhmutivka | Crossplay | UPDATED and join.

The server runs about 160 mods, including ACE, RHS and the WCS vehicle packs. The game downloads them when you join. The first join takes a while. Later joins only fetch what changed.

The live player count and the 24-hour history are on the server page.

The welcome screen

On your first join you see the welcome screen. It shows the server rules, the message of the day and our Discord links.

Read the rules, then press I have read the rules. The server remembers this. You see the screen again only when the rules change.

Pick a side

Choose a side and a squad. The server keeps the two sides close in size. If one side is full, you can wait in the join queue or take the other side. If you drop out, rejoin soon: the server tries to put you back in your squad.

First deploy

• You spawn only at your HQ. Radio backpacks, deployable spawn points and mobile HQs do not work as spawns. Your custom loadouts are available at HQ.
• The main base is a safe zone. You cannot be hurt there and you cannot fire.
• At the start of a match the server may hold everyone at main base for a few minutes. Weapons stay blocked until the hold ends. The server tells you how long is left.
• Stay away from the enemy main base. You get warnings as you get close. Keep going and you are sent home.

Staying alive

ACE Medical runs on this server, with hit zones, breathing and circulation.

• Carry bandages and a tourniquet. Stop the bleeding first.
• If you are knocked out, a teammate has to treat you and wake you up.
• Stay close to your squad. Medics and revives get XP, and most rewards need a friendly nearby.
