Arma 3 Creator DLC: Western Sahara

Game Info

New and improved variants of existing vehicles in ArmA 3 itself are bundled with the DLC: namely, the Marshall IFV and Marid APC, both of which have been granted modular capabilities to expand their roles. Alongside this are enhancements to the Zamak truck which has gained (optional) anti-aircraft guns and ViVT-capable models. The Offroad pickup and the PO-30 Orca helicopter have also been outfitted with up-armour packages designed to increase their survivability. Additionally, five new factions - some based on existing factions from the Armaverse, along with a slew of handheld firearms, a static gun turret, and new drones in the form of armed UAVs that can either be outfitted with improvised explosives or handheld small arms, are included in the DLC. Lastly, this is all accompanied by a wide selection of (both new and retextured) personal gear and vehicular assets that are camouflaged to suit the arid environment of Sefrou-Ramal.

Western Sahara is One of the Best (C)DLC of Arma 3
+ New map with unique environment that comes with new assets
+ Additional unit variants, the DLC comes with new faction
+ Weapons that are quite unique, like AA40 auto-shotgun and GLX standalone grenade launcher
- It is a Creator DLC, while the content is still within Armaverse
Need to remind you that for 5$, all you can get in Arma 3 -official DLCs included- are new assets and a bit of showcase/missions. But this particular CDLC deliver more than that. It comes with new desert map, which one could say the first premium desert map of Arma 3.
Additional factions with their own unique weapons and gears are always welcome. While it seems only NATO (CTRG included) is the only original faction who get additional items, it turns out African CSAT forces are present but with lighter and less advanced gears compared to their Iranian and Chinese counterparts.
This particular CDLC should've been a standard quality for CDLC, even for those who are still within Armaverse. It is just unfortunate Reaction Forces doesn't come with new map. And I am quite concerned about how little content that Expeditionary Forces offers. I hope those CDLCs can reach Western Sahara quality wise, or at least have their own way to compensate the shortcomings.
