How to connect

Quake III Arena plus the Rocket Arena 3 mod. We recommend quake3e as the engine - the original retail binary still works, but quake3e is faster, safer on modern displays, and is what we run. Already set up? Skip to step 4.

1. Have a Quake III Arena install on disk - retail, Steam, or anywhere your pak0.pk3 lives in baseq3/. The engine ships without game assets.
2. Drop the quake3e binary into the same folder as baseq3/ and run it once to confirm Q3A boots.
3. Install Rocket Arena 3 v1.76 into a new arena/ folder alongside baseq3/. The 1.76 build includes the original RA3 soundtrack.
4. Launch with the mod active: shortcut target ending in +set fs_game arena, or pick Mods → Rocket Arena 3 from the in-game menu.
5. Drop the console with ~ and run \connect ra3.killers4hire.com:27960. Or open the in-game server browser and filter for K4H.
6. Stuck on a step or want the current map rotation? Ping us in #general on Discord.
