how to use bipod.

[Warlord-616x]

so been looking high and low and all over the internet and everyone keeps saying that deploying your bipod should be 'c' by default. Well c is crouch for multiple control styles (including defualt) so can anyone please let me in on what button 'actuallly' deploys the bipod or maybe where i can change this in the menu?

Litterally pulling my hair out since i have come back to arma this last time. Just everything and its brother is kicking me in the ♥♥♥♥ and its not like this is my first rodeo...

nevermind, i just hit escape once while i was in my backpack and it ended the game. This is a great spot to rage quit for the day lol.

Requires the marksmen DLC, if you dont have it

[Warlord-616x]

Does not require marksmen dlc to use bipod.

straight out lie or terribly misinformed

@OP,

if you have the stance indicator turned on,you will see the deployed bipod there aswell. Hit the dirt or a passable surface and hit C

Depend on what gun you're using
katiba cannot use Bipod nor any other gun which has GL (grenade launcher) under the barrel

if you want to use the Bipod ,simply get a gun , equip it with Bipod and press "C" on Flat surface

You don't even need a bipod either, you can deploy any time the small stance pic has a hollow wall icon and a stick under your gun- 'C' might not be working because of that control style, you can find the key to re-bind in - Configure - Controls - Weapons - Deploy Weapon.
There a few different rest/deploy types as well- simply walking up to some cover usually gives you 'resting' (visible as the white box) which gives a small bonus, while deploying without a bipod gives a larger bonus, and finally deploying a weapon with a bipod gives the largest.
MARKSMAN IS NOT NEEDED TO USE BIPODS.

I changed my controls so that X is crouch, and Z is prone - just like what it was back in Arma 2. If you've played A2 and know the controls well, it's a great boon to change things up to those old controls.

[Warlord-616x]

found it in the menu finally and it was set to default as control + c. ><

I changed mine to Y which, visually makes more sense, and was unused.

you have to go prone to use your bipod

You don't have to be prone, you only need something to deploy it on, so you can use any valid surface, like a table or a sandbag wall.

Good god, do half these people even PLAY this game?
You don't need the DLC. You do not need to be prone.

The only thing you need, is to be close enough to an appropriate object, whether it's a wall, a sandbag, the hood of a car. It doesn't seem to work if you're in an intermediate stance position (like crouch then hitting the stance adjustment to lean slightly further down etc) but if you're full prone, normal crouch, or normal standing position, and there is an appropriately placed object, you can brace against it. If you have a bipod, you will deploy it, if you do not, you will simply lean in and rest your weapon on the object (bipod is preferable because you'll be slightly raised up and can see better).

Note : I regularly use this function, ignore these other guys, most of them have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

C is NOT crouch for default control scheme. Please read the controls before making a post.
