Invaders is a minigame in the Arma 3 main menu. By default, it is only available during Arma 3 Steam sales. Completing the minigame unlocks the Arma Invaders achievement and turns the Arma 3 logo in the main menu golden.
Invaders first appeared during the Bohemia Interactive Publisher Sale 2022 (
2.10).
A New Game+ mode and player vehicle swap to the T-100X railgun tank were added in 2.14.
Controls
| Action | Default Keybinding | Controls Option |
|---|---|---|
| Move left | A | Infantry Movement > Strafe Left |
| Move right | D | Infantry Movement > Strafe Right |
| Shoot | Space | Common > Use Default Action |
Known Issues
- Invaders does not start if Arma 3 is launched with mods that modify the main menu (unless they were whitelisted: ACE).
- Sometimes pressing Space opens the Steam overlay; close the Steam overlay and click on a non-interactive part of the main menu.
This might be related to Alt + ↹ Tab usage, with ↹ Tab moving the focus and Space clicking the selected button.
