# Disabling BattlEye On Your ARMA 3 Server

Information on how to Disable BattleEye on your ARMA 3 Server

## Summary

Depending on your Arma 3 server setup, you may want to disable BattlEye Anti-Cheat. While BattlEye is enabled by default to protect against cheating and exploit abuse, disabling it can be useful for testing, mod development, or private gameplay sessions where anti-cheat protection isn’t needed.

## Disabling BattlEye Anti-Cheat

You can turn off BattlEye directly from your Arma 3 Server Config file through your ChipHead Control Panel.

1.  Log in to your ChipHead Control Panel and stop your server.
