All of the following cheats require you to hold [Left Shift] down and then press the [Numpad - (minus)] button. Then let go and type the appropriate cheat code (capitalization doesn't matter). Nothing is displayed as you type however the key strokes are being recorded.

ENDMISSION
Ends the mission.
CAMPAIGN
Unlocks all campaign missions (This must be entered in the appropriate campaign screen you want unlocked. Unlocking one campaign will result in other campaigns that are unlocked to be re-locked.)
MISSIONS
Unlocks all single player missions (This must be entered in the appropriate single missions screen.)
SAVEGAME
Saves the game in your current mission. Can be useful as a quicksave function.
TOPOGRAPHY
Generates a map in EMF vector format. The file is (not) always created at the root directory of the C: drive (Windows 7 with UAC might put the file in Virtualstore, "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Virtualstore" ). The output file is generated when the map is next viewed in game. German Users: Enter TOPOGRAPHZ instead.
EXPORTNOGRID
(Available from Arma 3 v1.43.129765) Just like TOPOGRAPHY, but generates a grid-less map in EMF format XXNAMEXX_nogrid.emf. More on topography export [1]
FLUSH
Flush all video memory to cure performance issue caused by textures being placed in the AGP memory
FREEZE
Instantaneous "freezing" the game. For debugging of freeze dump creation process.
CRASH
Forced game crash. For debugging of crash dump creation process.
FPS
To allow artificially limit FPS for testing to 40,20,10,5.

Unlocking Missions

To unlock stand-alone mission, locate your ArmA profile first (it will be named (username).ArmAProfile, and will be either in My Documents\ArmA or in My Documents\ArmA Other Profiles. Open it in a text editor and change the section

activeKeys[]=
{
};

to

activeKeys[]=
{ "M00", "M01", "M02", "M03", "M04", "M05", "M06", "M07", "M08", "M09", "M10", 
"TT01", "TT02", "TT03", "TT04", "TT05", "TT06" };

In a more simple way just go to the mission screen press Left Shift down and then press the Numpad - (minus) button and type MISSIONS then revert the last mission.
