TRAINING
Training is split into 3 categories as listed below. The initial Phase 1 Alpha training course is compulsory for all new joiners, but from there the amount of training you do is optional. Remember however that if you only put the minimum amount of effort in, you will only receive the minimum opportunities in return.
PHASE 1 ALPHA
The initial training session will take you through the basics of Arma 3 and usually takes between 1-3 hours depending on previous experience. If you are an inexperienced player, this training course will give you the tools and knowledge required to be competent on the battlefield.
Everybody has to complete this course, including veterans, although the more you already know the quicker the course will be completed.
