You can select your AO location, the factions you want to use, and any available supports, or leave them all randomized and see what mission you are sent on. This mod makes the gameplay unique because it is designed to be simple to use but with plenty of options to customize your mission setup; the objective behind DRO is to create a way to play a new scenario in a single-player or co-op quickly.
With as few changes to the base game as possible, DRO aims to showcase the unique and varied gameplay that Arma 3 has to offer for smaller-scale infantry combat. Additionally, DRO has been designed from the ground up to take advantage of faction mods. If you have any mods that create new factions, they will be selectable as player or enemy sides within the mission. However, the scenario requires no mods apart from specific terrains if you want to use them.

Ravage is a survival mod focused on immersive and dynamic gameplay. Players are to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where bandits, infected, and hunger will be constant threats.

The barren and isolated landscape devoid of normal humans creates an eerie atmosphere, especially at night. This mod is unique in that it is a post-apocalyptic scenario in an isolated environment.

17. Day of the Rangers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w5y-ceDHP8&t=3s&ab_channel=Sky%27D
The plan was for Delta operators to assault the target building using MH-6 Little Bird helicopters and secure the targets inside the building. Four Ranger chalks under Captain Michael D. Steele's command would fast-rope down from hovering MH-60L Black Hawks. Rangers would create a four-corner defensive perimeter around the target building to isolate it and ensure no enemy could get in or out.
This mod's gameplay is unique because of the scenario created by the creator, which simulates a real-world battle. The plot of this mod seems like it would be from a movie.

11. RED MOON
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FDE2G17iAk&t=6s&ab_channel=HazBo
Forget the city you once knew in the past, welcome to the new Kavala of 2035. The capital of Altis is today ravaged by a total and destructive war. Several years ago, the city experienced a real bloodbath when its government was overthrown by the renegade Colonel Akhanteros, leader of the armed forces of the AAF. Then a victim of a coup, the city became the scene of urban clashes between the army and a group of resistance fighters called the FIA. Later, supported by an alliance with CSAT, Akhanteros managed to force the rebels to abandon the island and retreat to Stratis, which housed a NATO air base.
However, an alliance between the Americans and the loyalists was too dangerous, and the opportunity to eradicate any form of resistance in one moment was too great. CSAT decided thus to send a tactical nuclear warhead to raze the southern part of the island, decimating many of the rebels and cutting off communications with the outside world. Nevertheless, the airbase was spared, and the survivors united to fight back. Corporal Ben Kerry, a member of NATO's Rapid Reaction Force who was based in the area, is enlisted in an all-out war between NATO and the armed forces of CSAT and AAF. Objective: to take back the capital of Altis, Kavala.
