Arma 3 and more so Altis Life can be daunting and a bit overwhelming for new players. So after seeing and answering many questions recently regarding default and specific key-binds thought I would throw up a quick guide on the "Getting Started" basics. I will continue to alter and add additional keybinds (Vehicles etc...) to this as new features are implemented.
