Eden Editor is scenario editor introduced in Arma 3. It replaces previous 2D Editor, sharing many of its features, but add a wide range of new ones.

It's currently in beta, and you can find in in the dev-branch of the game.

Starting Eden Editor

Eden Editor can be used for designing both singleplayer and multiplayer scenarios. A singleplayer scenario can be tested directly on your computer, but previewing a multiplayer one requires server running in the background. While it's possible to host a server and start multiplayer preview of any scenario straight from the editor, you can also create a server before launching the editor.
