Overview

DUWS-R randomly generates a campaign with enemy zones to capture. You can also choose to manually place your HQ and enemy zones to make your own unique campaign. The key of this mission is to have maximum replay-ability, where the player can setup their own campaign or let the DUWS-R create everything randomly for them. You can play with the DUWS-R on any island you want, you just have to rename the .pbo file.

Quick Start

Put the .pbo inside your Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\Missions and/or Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\MPMissions folder. When you are asked to choose the campaign settings, just use the default parameters until you are ready to start changing the settings.

Required Add-ons:

None! You can play ArmA III vanilla or use all the add-ons you want: islands, weapons, gear, etc... Note that the DUWS-R will not show add-ons that adds BLUFOR units/vehicle, since they are added by hand. However, add-ons that add OPFOR vehicles will be used, since OPFOR vehicles are taken directly from the cfgVehicles classes.

Using the mission on another island

Just rename the .pbo to the extension of the other island. That's it! Consideration should be taken when doing this as some islands cause more load when generating zones and other items due to the terrain being sloped. Most terrain is fine but islands such as diaoyu can me it difficult to play

• Example: DWS.stratis.pbo >> DWS.chernarus.pbo

Manually placing zones

After a location for the HQ has been selected the player will be prompted with a dialog with various options. Two buttons will be available at that time. START-R and START-M allow you to place enemy zones randomly or manually respectively.

Features

• Play the way you want:
  • Play as a lone wolf or as a special forces team, using support assets and gadgets and perform side missions
  • Control your personal squad of troopers and fight against the OPFOR
• Pretty much every location is randomly generated on the map, from the HQ to enemy zones and side missions.
• Random side missions, with randomly generated names
• Play the DUWS-R on any island you want to.
• VAS by Tonic (Armory)
• Several support options to unlock (UAV, Arty, Personal FLIR, VAS, ...)
• You can define the HQ location yourself and the enemy zones, or just the HQ and let the DUWS-R generate the zones automatically. You can also let the DUWS-R create everything by itself. Basically you decide the level of randomization.
