Project ARES adds three new squads faithfully modelled after real-world US SOF units. Each team provides a unique gameplay experience and a plethora of new classes, equipment, and gear spanning the last 10+ years.

ARES was made by - and for - military veterans and enthusiasts with the goal of providing the most authentic special operations experience possible in DK2, while also maintaining careful gameplay balance and playability.

Full Change Log

US Army Rangers a nearly full rifle platoon of all-round direct action heavy hitters.

They've got access to support units with AT4s, Carl Gustav's, and M240s, and a powerful HQ capable of calling in mortar strikes and Close Air Support.

US Special Forces are tasked with building a Nowheraki commando unit capable of combating domestic terror threats.

Special Forces lack breaching tools but can access powerful rifles such as the MK13 MOD 5, MK22 PSR, and M107.

Attached to the SF team is the Nowheraki Army Commandos, a hard hitting local SF unit with access to a good variety of equipment of both Western and Eastern origin, you decide which direction to go.

1st SFOD-D are kitted for direct action, such as HVT capture or hostage rescue, while supported by undercover ISA Intelligence Specialists and a 24th STS JTAC that enables close air support.

INSTALLATION

Add mod folders(e.g. Project ARES - Core) to Steam\steamapps\Common\DoorKickers2\mods, then enable the mod(s) in the in-game mod menu.

ADDITIONAL INFO

This mod is compatible with AnthonyDNB's In-Game Camouflage Selector. Enabling it allows you to swap between uniform types such as combat shirts, BDU tops, T-shirts, and cold-weather jackets such as the PCU:

F. A. Q

I can't deploy the Rangers HQ Section!

For balance reasons, the Platoon HQ costs double, meaning you need two available slots in your unit for them to be deployable.

Delta feels weaker than Rangers and Special Forces...

Each part of the mod was made by a different person, so what feels balanced is different for each.

Although a lot of the mod is based on reality, that kind of approach made Rangers (and by an extent, SF) way too powerful compared to the enemy ability level, turning what should be a very dangerous situation in trivial, especially considering the large amounts of equipment all units carry.

This thought has been around the team for a long time, and Delta has been the first unit implementing this new doctrine, where despite being way better than vanilla enemies, they can still put a fight. Rangers and Green Berets will be eventually adjusted to keep them being competitive but also vulnerable if not properly used.
