So I can't use mods with Contact?

[Cow Obliterated by Train]

At all? Really? Why? Why can't I when I can with other campaigns? So far all I've tried of the DLC is some gear and a single rifle, and I'm already regretting it. I should have learned by now not to trust bi.

Hmm I use mods while playing Contact, what are you getting at? Can't you load them using the launcher as usual?

Nope. They don't actually show up in game, and Contact isn't listed on the launcher as a mod even though the game tells you it is. I'll try a steam restart I guess.

you may be clicking on "PLAY CONTACT" if that's the case then just click on play and make sure to load up the DLC. if you click "PLAY CONTACT" it'll just head straight for the contact campaign and ignore the mods. make sure you have your mods loaded. and if you want to play multiplayer with the contact gear then go ahead but make sure to disable contact. don't worry you'll still be considered to have the DLC, just that some of the gear like the spec device and chemical detector watch won't show up as an arsenal item because it's campaign exclusive for example. however stuff like the LDF gear, spetsnaz gear and whatnot will show up anyway, just that the spec device and chem detector won't.
NOTE: if you have contact enabled and you decide to play the game, you will not have access to multiplayer (probably because the "optional" thing is because you will be able to play the campaign), which is why i said you should disable contact in order to play multiplayer. however if you decide to play scenarios, on the editor(?), or virtual arsenal. you can do so.

The DLC is not available to load, that's the issue. The PLAY CONTACT button is, but I can't just load contact like the game tells me I can.

Contact gear is fine in multiplayer, I've already been killed multiple times in KOTH by the Crye Six12 they added.

that's very weird. for me i can actually load it up as an optional DLC. i'm not sure how i can fix it in any other way.

Okay, restarted steam and it's showing up now. That was irritating. Must have been an issue on Steam's end.

Thank you for the help though!

you're welcome!

way late for this, but in case someone else has issues figuring it out;

DLC and MODS are two different things. you need to open the Arma launcher then on the vertical row to the left, go into DLC and enable Contact or what you need from there, then go down to MODS and enable the mods you like.

Contact is an optional DLC, and when you have it enabled, the launch button should change colour to blue and say PLAY - MODS AND DLC ON

It's a bit confusing and easy to overlook for sure
