Option #1: Mod DB

The game is finally out of offline beta (as of November 12, 2025). The game can be installed here:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/black-orchestra37-54

Note that RO2 is required to play. I assume there is a way to make it work with a "non-steam" copy, but the game is literally $1 on Steam (soon it'll be on the workshop) and Valve deserves your money.

I do not know if the installation method is the same for as the offline beta, as I am currently unable to test it myself. I will update this page ASAP once I can get to it. Below are the old instructions (which probably work fine) and the video link:

Download
First, download the mod on ModDB: https://www.moddb.com/mods/black-orchestra37-54/downloads/black-orchestra-beta-release1
As well as any patches which have released since the base mod which can also be found on the same ModDB page.
Installation
Extract the zip and place (merge/replace) the "ROGame" folder into the RS2 installation folder.
(do the same with any patches afterwards sequentially unless instructed otherwise)
Starting up a game
Hit F3 or ` (for the command console) and insert one of the following lines:
