Stranded – The Long Road Home

The concept of the mission is simple. You go from A to B. Once you reach B you’ve managed to escape. How you reach B is up to you. What happens to you on your way to B is not. Plan carefully as every shot you take will attract unwanted attention.

______________________Features ______________________

– Vendors

Story – In story mode you must find out where the last evac point is and try to reach it to escape. You’ll start with minimal gear, at the refugee outpost and when you die you have to start from refugee outpost again.

______________________ A note on performance ______________________

There is allot more in this scenario than in my previous scenario. Performance will vary depending on PC. Warfare zones will reduce performance because there is more active AI however there’s not a crazy amount of AI also I have reduced the amount of other AI spawns whilst inside a warfare zone to compensate. Outside of warfare zones performance will be better. The Chernarus map is also more performance intensive than Altis as there is allot more objects on the map. Performance will also decrease depending on what other mods your running. I have done as much I can though to improve performance and will continue to do so.

______________ A note on the trading config files _______________

RHS has many many items. I tried to add as many as I can however I very likely have missed some. If you come across any items you can’t sell let me know what the item name is and I’ll add it to the config. I’ll do this bulk.
