Lost in the cold and rain on Everon? In Arma Reforger, without a GPS or HUD waypoints, your survival often depends on your ability to orient yourself the old-school way—with a compass, a map, and your wits. This guide teaches you how to determine both your own position and the position of objects you see using triangulation techniques.

1. Identify Landmarks

Begin by spotting visible landmarks in your surroundings—buildings, factories, villages, or piers. Choose distinct structures that are also identifiable on the map. For instance:

• A factory with a visible pier
• A beachfront house
• A cluster of buildings in a village

Avoid nondescript terrain with no defining features.

2. Match Landmarks to Map Locations

Open your map and try to match your visual landmarks to what you see in-game. Look for:

• Piers reaching into the ocean
• Terrain shape and coastline contours
• Clusters of buildings matching your line of sight

Mark each of these on the map using a pencil or marker tool.

3. Take Bearings with Your Compass

Bring up your compass:

• PC: Press K, then right-click to aim down sights
• Xbox: Hold D-pad up, then use left trigger to center

Aim your compass at each landmark:

• Read the degree heading (e.g., 308°, 348°, 004°)
• Each notch on the Soviet compass is 3°, so count accordingly

Write down these headings.

4. Use the Ruler Tool for Triangulation

Open the map and activate the ruler tool:

• Drag it to the landmark’s position on the map
• Rotate it to match your measured bearing (use the inner degree scale)
• Draw a pencil line from the landmark through your intended direction

Repeat this for at least two landmarks. The point where the lines intersect is your approximate location. Using three landmarks helps reduce measurement error.

If your lines form a triangle, your true position lies within it. Place a marker at the center for the most accurate estimate.

5. Finding an Unknown Object’s Position

Once you know where you are, you can locate an object you see but can’t find on the map (e.g., a radio tower or enemy encampment):

1. Aim your compass at the object
2. Record the bearing (e.g., 268°)
3. Open the map, place the ruler on your current location, and rotate it to that bearing
4. Draw a pencil line in that direction

This line shows the object’s direction, but not its exact location yet.

To fix the position:

• Move to a new location with a clear view of the same object
• Determine your new location via triangulation
• Aim at the object again and record the new bearing
• Draw a second line from the new position using the same method

Where the two bearing lines intersect is the estimated location of the object.

6. Reading Error and Accuracy

• A large triangle between your bearings suggests more measurement error
• A smaller triangle indicates a tighter, more accurate estimate
• Three-point triangulation is ideal for self-location
• Two-point intersection is often enough to locate external objects

If your measurement angles or self-location estimates are off, the result will be inaccurate. Always verify by comparing visual reference points again.

Conclusion

Map and compass skills are more than immersive features in Arma Reforger—they’re survival tools. With this triangulation method, you can determine your location and mark targets with impressive accuracy, even in a GPS-less, HUD-free environment.

Next time you’re lost in Everon’s stormy forests or watching enemy structures from a distance, remember: the map doesn’t lie—only your measurements do. Train your eye, steady your compass, and never get lost again.
