As a former Squad and Foxhole player thinking of getting serious about playing Arma Reforger, I found zarki34’s guide helpful in understanding how supplies and logistics work in Arma Reforger.

The guide covers a wide range of topics. Here’s an excerpt:

Resources/Supplies

On the map there are supply points where you can fill a vehicle with resources to bring back to your base.

They are mostly marked with a green circle and three boxes on the map.

Some of them are scattered around the map without a marker and are always marked with a square wooden sign that has a box and two hands, the same sign is found on base buildings at the point where they drop off their supply.

These random supplies are not infinite however the ones with the green circle are infinite and regenerate.

The fastest way to resupply your base is to drive a transport truck to the resupply point, park it near the wooden sign, stand between the truck and the sign, open your inventory and drag the supply box stash icon onto the truck. Confirm to transfer 600 supplies or whatever the maximum is, and the truck will be instantly refilled: you will see the boxes in its hold.

This can also be done with jeeps or civilian vehicles if needed. Drive to your base and park your truck next to a building’s resupply point sign, and now in the inventory window drag the truck onto the boxes. Confirm and you will get level up XP after completion.

You can also use the load or unload function on the back of the truck if you want, but it is slower. Supply points automatically regenerate resources after a certain amount of time so you can continue to get resources for your base.

Helicopters can also carry resources and can get the cargo menu from the passenger door even when they are further away from the supply point than trucks or cars. Helicopters have less room for resources than trucks, which are still the best option. There are also supply caches all over the map with a limited number of resources.

Large amounts of resources ensure that players will quickly spawn at your base and be able to spawn a vehicle to quickly return to the front.

If you have registered equipment in the armory and there are no resources, you will spawn with standard equipment. If the base does not have an armory, the same applies.

Resources are the way to win games.

Having a team of a few people running supply runs to bases will most often result in a win if the other team neglects that part of the game.

No resources, slower respawns, fewer vehicles, basics weapons…
