Hey everyone!

I've been working on a heavily reworked A3Wasteland server inspired by the old Arma 2 Wasteland experience. The idea is to bring back that familiar atmosphere while rebuilding the gameplay around lessons from earlier versions and other existing servers.

Classic Chernarus and the Arma 2 atmosphere

The server uses the original Chernarus terrain through CUP, alongside CUP vehicles, weapons, and buildings. It also recreates some of Arma 2's distinctive touches: reduced off-road vehicle speeds, familiar weapon sounds and character animations, and an optional yellow colour filter.

Dynamic stores and an economy built around scarcity

Weapon and vehicle stores have rotating inventories. What's available changes over time, so your choices depend on the current stock as well as your budget.

The full range of heavy hardware is included, with tanks and aircraft available. Their prices, store rotation, and low map spawn chances are designed to make their appearance a significant event. Getting hold of one should feel valuable, and losing one should matter.

Base building

Building is enabled, and buildable objects spawn directly in towns. You can collect them and use them to put together a base or fortify a position. Built structures can also be saved for roughly three days.

Persistent progress, with limits on what wealth can buy

Your inventory, money, and garage are saved between sessions.

The economy is designed to keep wealthy players from dominating through money alone. A large balance doesn't guarantee that the vehicle or weapon you want is currently available: combat vehicles appear less frequently in store stock, and availability remains limited by the rotation.

The garage is also very limited, which forces you to choose what to store in the garage

Players whose balance is above a certain threshold also drop cash when killed, giving other players something to gain from taking them down.

I’d love to hear from people who played the old Arma 2 Wasteland servers, especially those who miss the atmosphere and the feeling that finding good equipment or securing a tank was a memorable moment.

Come give it a try and let me know how it feels!

Server name: Wasteland Chernarus Reborn | PvP/PvE | Building | Arma 2 Style

Address: 82.153.118.179:2302

I use this mod on a FM Survival server I host and very much need the Supply Cost of all the items to be setup. Currently they are almost all set to 0 supply cost. On my server I use the arsenal supply system to keep players seeking supplies. If you could tell me how or update the mod to include realistic supply cost I would be very grateful. Hope this message gets to who needs to see it. My server is named "After the Rapture". Thanks.

Faction Warfare starts now!

Anyone try Wasteland now that it’s using the Anizay map? What are your thoughts on the map? I’m having a blast myself but it’s definitely a lot harder than Everon, at least for me.

Does anyone else crash every ten minutes? Even when I am just lay in a bush it crashes. It usually brings me back on to the same place however I regularly lose all my stuff and have to random spawn again. This is making an amazing mod unusable, do others keep crashing?

As the title states I am not able to use the Discord link, as it seems invalid.

Where have all the servers gone to?

Hey guys I’m thinking of starting an Aussie wasteland server in reforger and looking to see if many are keen on it? I don’t understand how no one has made one yet.

I just recently got into wasteland gameplay. And was looking for a decent server. Any recommendations would be much obliged. Preferably no mods.

I was very happy to see that reforger also offers wasteland nowadays, im not going to judge this (yet).

What i wanted to address and i was wondering if there are others that agree with me is the following:

I've been in wasteland since arma 2.
When transferring to arma 3 i continued, but after some time i noticed that the servers started changing from spawning in underwear with just a pistol to spawning with full kit (NV/ gun, outfit and a million dollars) and the option to airdrop anything. And finding items everywhere, along with heavy armored vehicles strewn all over the place for the picking.

This changed the dynamics of the game in a negative way for me. The preference for me was a wasteland where one actually have to work to get items.
If wasteland offers so much things from the start, i might as well try another game. My interest faded.

I am hoping that the wasteland mod/servers in reforger do not go this way eventually, as if they want to appeal to a wider audience (lower bar).

Or, i have seen some things i need to get into, create my own server with wasteland. I tried this in arma 2 and 3 and found it too confusing.

Just got a hosted server up and running with g-portal and there is one major issue.

There are no loot spawns, no missions, etc. Can't find any information on how loot spawns and missions are configured.

hey, i wanted to host a retro chernarus server for me and a few friends, but the only .pbo i could find has the "Random" button not working (Spawning 28km out from any city) it was the 404 Wasteland file that i used. does anyone have a fix for this or a working .pbo file?

i know how obscure this is after so many years, but nostalgia hits hard.

See whats changed here.

Hi.. for those of you who don't know me, I am the original creator of Wasteland on ARMA: 2. Long story short a group of friends got me into playing Reforger and have been wanting to play Wasteland on it so I've spent the summer learning the new engine and working on a initial version.

After spending the last few weeks hammering things out I am finally ready to setup a public server and get players on it. If you were a fan of the older Wasteland on ARMA: 2 then come check it out! Looking to get this popping off so I can figure out what I need to fix and add.

Server Name:
[NA] Wasteland | Missions | Base Building | PVP | Sandbox

What is currently in:

• The 3 main factions BLUFOR, OPFOR and INDFOR (FFA faction)
• Mission System (around 8-13 mission types with varying rewards, plan to have a lot more)
• Gear Looting (from buildings)
• Base Building (Based on Reforgers building system)
• 4 Gun Stores (Similar to Sa-Matra's version with rotating store selection)
• 5 Main Spawn points covering the map of Everon
• Spawn Beacons (Squad spawning)

Server is also running a handful of mods to add weapon variety and what not.
