FREE ARMA 3 DLC

In this Thread I will teach you on how to get all Arma3 DLCs for free including APEX.

Step 1: You need an older Steam version. I use the version from 12.09.2016 just google it.

Step 2: Download the program provided

Step 3: Close steam (Right click on the steam icon and click on "exit Steam" )

Step 4: Find the AppId of a game you dont play for example CS:GO or you can just download some free to play games to have them in you library in order to use their AppID to patch the DLCs on. (AppId of CSGO ---> 730)

Step 5: Open the Programm and select your packageinfo.vdf (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\appcache) then select the AppID that you dont need (in this case its CSGO which is 730) and patch it to the AppID of an Arma 3 DLC AppID.

Arma 3 DLC AppIDs
-Arma 3 Karts:288520
-Arma 3 Marksmen:332350
-Arma 3 Helicopters:304380
-Arma 3 Apex:395180
-Arma 3 Jets:601670

Will i able to then use the aquired dlc on multiplayer servers on arma whilst using the older steam version?

Ok, So I downloaded the same version as you mentioned, and I can't stop it from auto updating to a new version.
How do you get around this ?

Thanks : )

Followed the Exact Steps as you mentioned and it gives an Error : Failed to load steamui.dll
This ONLY happens when your CFG file is added to the folder.

I can't find the version of steam you are talking about );
Can we reinstall the last update of steam after doing that and still have the dlc ?
