Area Of Operations: Steel Division

Every Steel Division faction, fighting in Area Of Operations. This add-on puts all 12 Steel Division factions on all 23 Area Of Operations maps, plus Tarn Valley in summer and fall: 25 layers.

What is Area Of Operations?

One random Area of Operations is picked each round, and both teams fight over it.

  • Each team holds a single FOB that earns tickets.
  • Squad leaders place Patrol Base tents for forward spawns.
  • Enemy positions show up on the map as search areas over time.
  • Win by draining the enemy's tickets or leading when the time runs out.

What the Steel Division layers add

  • All 12 Steel Division factions on every layer: ETF, IRGC, ISSF, PLASF, PMC, RED, SAS, SEAL, SOF, SSPR, TSF and USSF.
  • Steel Division's own soldier, night vision, thermals, HUD and commander abilities.
  • Faction setups sized to each map: small-map setups on Sumari and Logar, medium-map setups on Chora, Fool's Road, Kokan and Mestia, and large-map setups with unit types (Mechanized, Armored, Motorized, Light Infantry, Support, Air Assault) everywhere else.
  • The same AO areas, mains, spawns and vehicles as the normal Area Of Operations layers.
  • Default match-up: USSF vs PLASF. Any of the 12 factions can be picked.
