IEDD Notebook

PRION Dev Team proudly presents:


Totally fictional mod that brings EOD-technicians and other explosive specialists something to do. We've always thought that in vanilla game, it's not that exciting to play a role of some kind of specialist focusing on mines or IEDs. And that's why we decided to start working on something even a bit more exciting. This mod gives an opportunity for mission makers to add pretty nice spice to custom scenarios.

Story behind this little notebook:
Sergeant First Class, Raymond A. Vargas, is a veteran army EOD-techician, who has been involved in several conflicts and military operations all around the world. On his action-packed and interesting career, he has taken some notes and photos of all different types of IEDs he have faced, and now it’s time to share his knowledge with other soldiers out there.
