# How to Add DLC to your Arma 3 Server

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/54d3c6b1f209e800/04efe2bc-1a8c-4511-a411-2a3b97_tn0wwn.png)

Arma 3 is a great game, but after a long time, you may want to add new content to your server. This can be done by adding DLC!

A DLC is an addition to your game that implements new quests, items, and much more. You can find them and buy them on Steam [here](https://store.steampowered.com/dlc/107410/Arma_3/).

|| ⚠ **NOTE** ⚠: The DLC will need to first be set up on your client, then on the server.

# 🔌 How to Add DLC to Your Client 🔌

You can add DLCs right from your launcher if you've already purchased them on Steam:

1. Start the Arma 3 launcher and click on `DLC`.

7. Find the `Load Mods` section. Add the following in the text box, depending on which DLC you want to load:

* `gm` - `Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany`  
* `vn` - `S.O.G. Prairie Fire`  
* `csla` - `CSLA Iron Curtain`  
* `ws` - `Western Sahara`  
* `spe` - `Spearhead 1944`

The changes will be automatically saved when you modify the text box.

|| ⚠ **NOTE** ⚠: If you have multiple DLC loaded, you just need to add a semicolon (`;`) between them (Example: `gm;vt`).
