Added with the release of the Marksmen DLC, Bipods are intended to be used for weapon stabilisation purposes. They can be rested/deployed onto any flat surface once unfolded (Default hotkey: C). As long as the surface beneath the bipod is considered to be a hard object (i.e. rocks, fences, etc.) the bipod can be unfolded and rested upon.




Deploy Bipod Arma 3




Bipods will drastically reduce (not remove) muzzle rise caused by the weapon's recoil. Bipods can be fitted onto most primary weapons, though they must have a compatible underbarrel slot to mount one. Certain weapons also feature integrated bipods that form a part of the weapon's chassis.


Several caveats do apply to their usage, however. Bipods cannot be rested onto non-hard surfaces and have a limited rotation arc depending on the object that is being rested on (usually between 30-70 depending on the angle). Attempting to move will also automatically unfold the bipod. Lastly, the length of a bipod's legs cannot be adjusted and are always fixed to a specific height regardless of surface.


These weapons all feature integrated bipods - either regular folding bipods or grippods. They do not support being fitted with bipod-type attachments as they lack compatible underbarrel rails:


However, unlike in ArmA 3, bipods no longer unfold automatically at the press of a single button and must now be done so by hand. To unfold the bipod, the user must first inspect the weapon (PC hotkeys: Left Ctrl + R OR XBOX buttons: RB + X), look in the direction of the bipod, and then lastly press the DEPLOY BIPOD action when the prompt appears.


Once unfolded, the bipod's stabilisation effects will be applied whenever the user is lying prone on the ground. Bipods can be folded again by simply repeating the process of inspecting the weapon and pressing the RETRACT BIPOD action when prompted to do so.


One additional caveat to note is that bipod deployment only applies when it is deployed on the ground. As opposed to how ArmA 3's bipods functioned, the benefits of deployment do not apply to any other type of hard surface.


Hey, i got the arma 3 alpha and im trying to use the bipod in some of the weapons but i still didn't get how i use the Bipod? i searched for controls in-game and topics in forums for how to use the bipod in arma 3 and i didn't find anything about it.


Wow, some of you guys actually think the bipod will serve a purpose other than purely aesthetical (is that a word)? I'm talking to you guys who've been around since at least ArmA 2. We know BIS by now. They aren't going to add something like that in because it's not important enough. Now, I'd be willing to believe that bipods would serve a purpose if BIS had made bottom rail attachments customizable (your grenade launchers and foregrips). But they didn't do that. Don't hold out hope for this feature. And, yeah, as Viper said, don't compare ArmA 3 to BF3 or even think that Arma 3 is supposed to be BF3. Don't even play the game as a substitute for BF3. Not the same genre, not the same type of game, and if you're expecting BF3 you'll be disappointed.


play ro2 then get back to us. bipods are absolutely essential for accurate crouched shots behind solid cover. real life firefights do not involve spray and praying at the enemy. every shot counts and stability matters.


I'm hopefull for weapon resting and an actual bipod attachment and deployment animation. I have a feeling that it's going to be one of those, "We have bigger fish to fry.. let the modders do it." things. I guess for now you can just lay down and wait to find out. ;)


Believe me, I'm all for bipods (and bottom rail attachments in general), but I'm pretty sure some BIS dev said this at some point. I just really doubt BIS will get around to doing this. If they added bipods, then they'd go ahead and do all the bottom rail attachments. Maybe they will make it a feature for only LMGs and HMGs if they do, but I'm not holding out hope. I do believe that bipods and weapon resting in general are essential and realistic, but I don't think BIS views it that way. I honestly don't think it's a priority for them.


Most of the time when i'm laying down trying to shoot down hill, uphill or the ground is just uneven, the bipod movement restricts me from aiming at my target. I'm sure others experience this as well and i think the logical solution would be making the bipod legs adjustable.


I'm thinking key bindings like zeroing has could be made for it for example push LCTRL + Q to lower your bipod legs and LCTRL + E to raise your bipod legs. Or just use LCTRL + W and S while bipod is deployedIn addition, when raising your bipod it could also raise your stance if necessary. For example, you deploy your bipod ontop a box in crouch stance, and when you raise the bipod it would change raise your stance up a notch.


Of course there is an alternative possible solution which is to give us the ability to lean forward and back more while deploying a bipod but it might not work as well. F26122 F26123 F26124 F26125 F26126 F26127 F26128


For Tanoa is more than "necessary." A large slope angles, soil surface and high vegetation. Often, when you need to quickly fix a machine gun and open fire, you crawl in search of a place where it will do. Install the gun on the bipod, you clamped an angle to the ground, and lose angle, vertical or strongly down or severely to the top. Make it as changing the height of the telescope at a stationary laser designator. Release the arrow from wasting time searching for a vantage point.Make a gift to all who 15 years with you, or just took this path. Happy Holidays everyone.


Make this work. Work of bipod in Arma3. The assistant in an accurate shot isn't realized.The review of an aiming is strongly clamped in the situation "lie"-.Strong influence of a corner of a surface of soil on a viewing angle clip on bipod. It isn't ridiculous. Awful realization.


In the video, the lowest and not thick grass at Tanoa Island. In 400m distance, I can not see the enemy standing in full growth. I can see from their position, man on 200m distance, if he is upright. When deploying a bipod, gun falls below, this further reduces the distance viewing. Lack of height adjustment bipod, one of the hot issues of the island, Tanoa, as the island of choice for a good game. I know that the majority of players expect a decision on the ticket.


Lex, as the status of the ticket says "Acknowledged, Wishlist". The developers have this on their to do list, its just not very high priority. They have more important stuff to work on, bumping this ticket every few weeks will not help at all.If they add this feature, i'll be grateful. If not, i'll live with it. Trust me i understand that this issue is annoying, i made the ticket so i know.But its not game breaking, it doesn't make bipods completely useless or the game unplayable. You, me and everybody else is just going to have to live with this.

I did not consider this a problem until the release of Tanoa. My first message on this ticket is after the release of Tanoa on DEV. Height adjustment is not the only bipod problem. There are a number of other problems that need to be addressed. For this reason, I allocate all major tickets for the bipod. I think these issues should be solved in the aggregate.


In my opinion, the same keys could be used for adjusting the bipod legs as those for adjusting the turret height (which are also used for adjusting the periscope height on the Strider, for example). In the View category of the Controls configuration, scroll to the bottom and see "Raise turret" and "Lower turret".


I agree that we need a way to adjust the bipod angle as well, or else wider angles of incline and decline should be allowed for aiming up and down while deployed. Currently, deploying on a hill can sometimes cause the allowed weapon angles to be totally useless.


@mickeymen: The Arma 3 feedback tracker describes the game with the following sentence. "Experience true combat gameplay in a massive military sandbox. Authentic, diverse, open - Arma 3 sends you to war." The addition of bipods in the first place was a result of numerous requests and complaints about the lack of realism in Arma 3. So BIStudio does listen to feedback.


Arma Reforger has a new bipod for weapon resting functionality and destruction of objects such as concrete pillars. This is nice. All the game needs now is the proper projectile penetration for 7.62mm rounds hitting trees. A .30-06 Springfield cartridge round will penetrate a tree easily, especially if it is a steel-cored round. The 7.6239 rounds used in the AK-74 were made with steel-cored bullets and would penetrate easily a thin metal plate. The networking issues are still present in the Arma Reforger game after all of this time. But it surely will be fixed eventually. The performance in the Game Master mode in multiplayer is very bad when a lot of objects are placed in the game world. And the game engine does not even support cutting a hole in the terrain to connect to an underground tunnel. That would be a great feature to have in a modern game in 2022 and 2023. The PC game Unreal from 1998 had the ability to create underground tunnels and connect them to above-ground areas with holes cut in the terrain with the first iteration of the Unreal engine. That was a very long time ago. 2ff7e9595c
