Prague, January 17th, 2025 – In 2014, Bohemia Interactive hosted a modding competition called Make Arma Not War, which gave rise to what would become some of the most legendary mods in Arma 3’s history. Today, Bohemia Interactive is proudly announcing the next installment in their latest title, Arma Reforger.

This competition seeks to celebrate and give back to the modding community that does so much for the Arma Platform, while kickstarting the next generation of mods on the all-new Enfusion engine. With over $100,000 in cash and other prizes, the competition invites creators to develop incredible mods for Arma Reforger in multiple categories. In addition, winning entries will receive promotion through company channels to showcase their creativity and abilities to our global community.

To support participants, Bohemia Interactive is hosting Modding Boot Camps, a series of topic-focused workshops designed to help both new and veteran modders. Presented by the developers themselves, these workshops cover both fundamental and advanced techniques for working with the Enfusion engine, and will be accompanied with documentation and developer Q&As.

Additionally, in collaboration with the nonprofit organization Stack Up and leading researchers, Bohemia Interactive is using this competition as a platform to raise awareness about the positive effects of video games on mental health, for both veterans suffering from physical and emotional trauma and the wider global gaming community. As part of this initiative, a special cash prize will be awarded to a mod that fosters positive communication and helps reduce in-game toxicity.

With Make Arma Not War 2025, Bohemia Interactive recognizes the long-time support of the modding community as part of the Arma series’ success. This competition not only highlights the creativity within the community but is a commitment to provide tools, resources, and a platform for innovation that modders can continue shaping the future of Bohemia Interactive’s games for years to come.
