About > Mission editor

The easy to use built in mission editor allows the gamer to customize their own singleplayer and multiplayer missions with ease to extend game possibilities beyond anything currently known on consoles.

You can create a mission using one of three objective templates:

• Basic •

Get from point A to B, alive.

• Target •

Eliminate a specific unit, and reach the extraction zone.

• Defender •

Hold off the enemy attack.

Once you have selected an objective template and player side, you are taken to the main Mission Settings screen. Here, the following options can be found:

• Units •

Choose the unit, or squad, which you will use to play the mission.

• Island •

Select an island where the mission will take place.

• Name •

Set the name for your mission.

• Map •

Go to the Map screen to edit the exact location of units and waypoints.

• Time •

Define the time of day, date month and year for your mission.

• Weather •

Set the current and forecasted weather and visibility conditions for your mission.

In the Map view, you will see a map of the island you have selected for your mission. Here you can find several coloured markers, indicating mission locations, such as your starting position, location of objectives, and the extraction zone. You can pick up and reposition any of these markers by pressing A / Right thumbstick. The Left thumbstick will then rotate the selected object for more precise positioning.

To add new units, press Y. Moving the cursor over an existing unit allows you to edit it by pressing Y. To delete it press X.

Once you have placed the units/vehicles on the map it's then possible with a simple press of the Black button to assign them any of 12 different waypoints such as: Move, Destroy, Get In, Seek And Destroy, Cycle, etc.

It's also possible to not only decide how they behave whilst performing an assigned waypoint but also what formation they will be in as well as the combat mode they will use.
