    I am a university library information specialist, who teaches students how find and process information, and I approve this message.

    Hello! To your surprise or not, I actually did do that, as well as any other iteration of a "teeth bandana" that you could've thought. I (thankfully) know that Google exists, and after trying for literal hours browsing 25 google pages on almost every site that sells bandanas, I came to the conclusion that, while it is very common for sellers to sell bandanas with a teeth design, Bohemia Interactive's design is seemingly absent from the market. This might be due to the seemingly small amount of physical content on sale that's available in relation to Arma 3, but I can't be sure. I ended up being so sure of this that I ended up making it myself, by downloading the .pbo file (characters_something), opening it with Arma 3 tools, and using TexView2 to convert the specific bandana texture file from a .paa texture to a .png (all of which I happened to learn on Google). I then used Photoshop to resize it, printed it out, and ended up embroidering it onto a blank bandana (never embroidered before, but thankfully modern society isn't extremely confusing, especially on how to search for stuff on the internet). I searched for the bandana design for hours (even used Bing at one point, gross), offered to pay $10 to the first person who found it over on Reddit (no one did), and contacted several artists asking them to sketch out the design for me before realizing I could just do it myself. I was hoping this "wonderful" community would have helped me avoid much of that, but obviously, it did not. Fingers crossed that no one else has to do the same steps I did just to come to the conclusion that:

    A. This community really doesn't like it when people ask what they assume are "simple questions" that you can Google (when in fact, you can't).

    B. No one sells this design due to the super niche nature where it comes from.

     

    By the way, if anyone does happen to be interested in getting this design, I will link at the bottom to a Reddit post I made where people actually helped! If anything, feel free to message me.

     

    Cheers!

    I get it that the modern society can be extremely confusing for most, especially how to search for stuff on the internet.

    Lucky for most breathing and other basic bodily functions aren't too complicated and have been automated by mother nature.

    Since I'm in a good mood I will help you find a conclusion to your problem.

    Three questions followed by their answers will lead you to a store where you can purchase something like this:

     

    1. What is printed on the bandana? Teeth.
    2. What word could also be used to put into google search? Bandana.
    3. So what's the final phrase to put into google search? Teeth Bandana.

     

    Cheers
