After Esseker (Ravage Mod) UPDATED 2020

Years after the nuclear fallout blanketed the Mediterranean, Middle East and part of the Eastern Bloc with the infectious fungal spores, new life has begun to take root in Esseker.

With the newly reformed IDAP bringing much needed aid and supplies to the region with the assistance of the US Marine Corps, bandits, looters and robbers have also begun to spread throughout this post apocalyptic region.

Alongside these new developments, rumours abound of old documents relating to the Chimera corporation, and the horrible experiments they conducted here. Not only that, but even older rumours suggest an ancient horror once lurked in the forests, before the infection began, and that the Chimera Corporation may have been involved, somehow.

You are whoever you are; a local, a scavenger, a mercenary or a soldier, but you've been tasked with the promise of a lot of money to secure valuable documents. It's up to you to find them, to keep yourself safe, and to uncover the secrets of Esseker. Good luck, agent.


As is usual in these missions I make, there are a few notes spread around. They're in what I would call 'interesting' areas. If you have trouble finding one, just ask and I'll provide a location. However, some of the screenshots may or may not reveal the locations of notes as well ;)

(Removed dog pack script as it was causing issues with NPCs, but leaving this here anyway because the script was still pretty awesome.) Many thanks to Jboy for his dog pack script, and to Vandeanson for his script for it to spawn. I'm not 100% sure if it's working on Esseker but it works on other maps. Let me know if they do or don't spawn. Link to Jboy's script: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/196998-jboy-dog-v15-updated-12212018/

Reccomended mods:

Enhanced Movement (will help a lot and I always reccomend this!) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=333310405

Advanced Urban Rappelling (very useful all around mod for getting down from high ledges) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=730310357

TPW's Mod (is shown as the mist in one of the screenshots, helps with hunting animals, and is highly customisable but I'd reccomend disabling ambient civs, vehicles, boats and fly-bys, as well as most of the ambient SOAP sounds since they ruin the atmosphere) https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/154944-tpw-mods-v20170912-enhanced-realism-and-immersion-for-arma-3-sp/

The Birds and the Bees (good fun, adds a bunch of muscle cars that you can find around the place) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=572203891

LUTs by Solano (It's what I used when taking the pictures in-game, and adds a whole new feel and visual ambience to Arma 3) https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/183128-real-light-reshade-preset-by-solano/

And a big thank you to the Bohemia community! Without all of your help, I wouldn't have even known where to start with these missions!

Another big thanks to the makers of the mods that I have used in this mission! You guys are all incredible!

Another thank you to ALIAS for his amazing scripts! Check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/aliascartoons/videos?disable_polymer=1

If I have forgotten anything such as a mod, I apologise. Let me know and I'll add it in here. Please also report any bugs you find and I'll see if I can't squash 'em!

(APPEARS TO NOT HAPPEN ANYMORE but just in case, I'll leave this here) A little side note: if anyone has an out of memory crash playing this or any other of my scenarios, here's a work around that might help. Unpack my mission from the PBO, load it in editor first, then go to scenarios menu and load my mission from there. That seems to help just about all of the time for me, and hopefully works for you as well.
