Reaper Core is a free modification for ARMA Reforger that offers a complete framework for creating and playing single-player and co-op missions. Released on December 27, 2024, the mod represents over thousands hours of work and provides a wealth of assets, sounds, textures, and user interface elements. Due to a Workshop file size limitation of 5 GB, the mod is split into two packages—CORE Pack1 and CORE Pack2—which must both be downloaded to enjoy the full functionality of the mod. In addition, the package includes the mission “Just in Time”; another mission “Exemption” is currently in beta testing.
Key Features
- Extensive Weaponry and Equipment:
- A wide variety of high-quality weapons featuring custom sounds, animations, and modern optics (including scopes and red dot sights).
- Compatible attachments such as laser and light modules.
- Equipment items including plate carriers, chest rigs, combat belts, night vision devices, and backpacks with a MOLLE system.
- Advanced Spawn and Loadout Systems:
- A mobile spawn point system that updates its position automatically every 50 meters to prevent spawning in combat zones; if the mobile spawn point is in a vehicle, players will spawn inside the vehicle.
- Player loadouts and stats are saved on the server and displayed on the map for continuity across sessions.
- Diverse Apparel and Customization Options:
- A broad range of clothing items such as shirts, pants, shoes, glasses, and a functional ghillie suit that reduces visibility to AI when lying down or in grass.
- Wardrobes and in-game equipment options allow for detailed character outfitting.
- Enhanced User Interface and Framework:
- An improved UI designed to enhance the co-op experience.
- The mod’s framework includes a plethora of scripts and functions that support custom missions, new objectives, and an expanded mission system.
- Mission descriptions and images are loaded via configuration files.
- Custom AI and Gameplay Mechanics:
- New AI units with custom loadouts that utilize tactical lights and laser devices at night.
- AI helicopters can be controlled via waypoints, with the ability to land and pick up or drop off players.
- Additional gameplay mechanics include magazine repacking, item sharing from backpacks, and options to create hostage missions where hostages can be freed and follow a designated leader.
- Functions to lock doors (with predefined keys), control incoming damage to AI units (SlotAI), and randomize the spawning of AI units based on player numbers.
- Environmental and Cinematic Enhancements:
- High-quality textures (4K where visible, 2K elsewhere) and licensed music that complements the gameplay.
- Helper elements for map manipulation, including the ability to remove grass, place houses, open doors, and rebuild navmeshes.
- Cinematic overlay classes and image-based map markers, along with a functional in-game clock and customizable date settings.
- Additional Practical Features:

- Vehicle doors automatically close for added realism.
