What DLC to play multiplayer?
Its been a while and I've waited for DLC to get cheaper. Not sure which ones are a MUST have to play on most servers.
Please help.

It depends on the server, what scenario they play. Or rather which terrain the scenario was made for. Only terrains deny players to join a server if they didn't buy it. Scenario creators can add other basegame vehicles and weapons and other gear in a scenario, so you can avoid any DLC-based gear/weapons/vehicles.

But in general APEX (Tanoa terrain) is considered the most value per currency unit. It does depend on what the DLC provides and if you like that.

None of them are a must have.

Apex and Contact matter the most because they allow you to join severs that are running the Tanoa or livonia terrains respectively, how 'needed' they are is debateable but the point is that it's only these 2 DLC's that matter for joining servers.

Jets, Tanks, Helicopers, Marksman and Laws of War?

You already have the content downloaded when you bought the game, ownership of the DLC is required to USE it yourself, you are allowed to be on any server where other people or AI are using this stuff, you just won't be able to use it yourself and again, how 'needed' they are is debatable, only a handful of things are unique / have no free alternatives.

CDLC is another matter entirely but you won't see servers that use CDLC content without owning the CDLC in question, and outside of SOG you are not likely to find a public server using them anyway.

Personally I own all DLCs except the "creator DLCs". I've always thought BI to be lazy to offload content creation to third parties and never wished to support such a practice. Especially when BI isn't even going for a huge amount of bug fixes after they've made room due to offloading that work.

multiplayer is worthless on this game. I would very much consider another game.

Are you Smoking the POT SON? I Have played Arma, Arma 2 and have some hours in Arma 3 from Beta until they came out with 60 dollar DLC's.
Arma is massively fun in multiplayer. Where else can you drive for an hour and a half with your pals just to be blown up by some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in a jet?!!?!
