Just your luck -
You were being dropped into the county as apart an operation to obtain any useful research left behind at the Site [Redacted] as a last ditch attempt to save a dying world. You were being briefed on the helicopter ride in when the weather turned at the last second. The helicopter starts to lose control and you jump into the void of night before things get worse. Even in your dissonant state you are able to deploy your shoot but you have a rough landing in some urban area. After you wait out the storm you realise you landed in the heart of Louisville. You need to find a way out of the city or you might just become another victim of the Knox Infection.

(I suggest Pillows Random Spawn to get a start in Louisville. You should also take the crash landing trait which gives you 3 random injury when you spawn and the unlucky trait to stick with the theme.)


In terms of the other challenges what spawn settings would you suggest?

[SEARCH AND RESCUE]

"Our recent team has went MIA inside of the Knox County Exclusion Zone. We suspect that they are currently KIA. We are tasking you to collect the dog tags of the deceased soldier's we've sent in. If you find any of the members alive: bring them to an evac zone. One last thing: don't draw the media attention... This entire operation will be at risk."

- Captain Valex

(somehow include 5 random corpses of insurgents around Louisville)

Time Limit: Seven Days (meta events for heli be sometimes/frequent)

If spotted by a helicopter: you will fail, or if you take too long

[MAYDAY!!!]

this makes it to where the helicopter crashes and you barely jumped out and you start with only 1/2 of your rations: you spawn close to a flaming helicopter
with a broken left hand and shin with 5 zombies right on your tail (why so many zombies well no one had jumped yet meaning 4 other black ops were killed and zombified during the crash including the pilot (this DOES NOT apply if in mp) 3 of them WILL be crawlers because they got they're ankles broke) the others will be normal)
after the crash,its normal zomboid from there aside from a scar on your hand ( and yes this means that no heli event will happen because well........... it crashed and you are presumed dead so don't expect any rescue...like at all)

[your main goal] wait till another team comes to replace the missing. in. action ones then inform them on what happened

[optional goal] go back to the crash after its done flaming -there was a armored box in that plane meaning, there are important files and documents(and more importantly food and weapons) in the armored room where its kept

ways to fail or abandon the missions:let the 2nd team finish their mission and leave without meeting or telling them the story of how you survived (take that introduction of pz
or destroy the documents (example's: burning,pouring water on them,ripping them ect

Thank you for this. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to guide my playthrough. The Black Ops Insurgent is unique because a special operative being inserted inherently requires a mission to complete - you're not being thrown in just to mess around and see if you can break your survival record. It's not like the other average-joe professions where you're just trying to figure out how to survive and have zero military backing.

I just wish there was more to do in the game that makes sense outside of just surviving or building a base. Maybe this mod would be a great platform to develop something like that.

[Retrieve and Extract]

Sent to the exclusion zone to retrieve valuable information (the 2 secret items added to the secret military base). You must retrieve these items before extracting to the port in Louisville, death of the operative is negligible. If death occurs a operative is redeployed, but the items must be retrieved at all costs from the decaying remains of the failed operative.

Challenge: Complete with the least amount of operatives lost.

[Operation Raze]

Conditions:
- zombie respawn off (set 0)
- Helicopter mod (optional) (for extraction)
- Must NOT be spotted by the news helicopter
- Maximum of 4 operatives deployed (One Assault, One Rifle, One Medic, and the squad sergeant (whatever class you want, must wear beret)

Objectives:
- Clear every town/city in Kentucky of zomboids.
- Once cleared of zomboids, torch the town/city to prevent possible virus spread and evidence of the event.
- Make sure no lingering zomboids are residing in the forests.
- Do not torch the forests, it might spread to the nearby states.
- Extract the two items from the military base
- Once the map is completely cleared of zomboids and all cities burnt down, you may proceed to the extraction point.

Time Limit: Indefinite

Agent Vulture: Vulture reporting.

??: Agent Vulture, status report.

Agent Vulture: Phase 2 was a success, Knox county is roaming with infected despite the rapid military response. I have fled the quarantine zone through great effort, i now will travel west spreading the gift.until i die of infection or reach the west coast.

??: Brother Vulture, you have went far beyound our expections time and time again, i and the world see your work on the television

Agent Vulture: I live for the cause master. Please tell me, how does phase 3 go? Does humanity have a chance?

??: Brother Vulture, my son, you have exceeded and went beyond our exceptions, your shall see the fruits of your labor in the panic and fear of the non believers in the streets and the news reports in the coming days for we will make the gift airborn.

Agent Vulture: My heart fills with bliss master!

??: As do i, as do all your brothers... howeve there is only one thing that hinders our path..

Agent Vulture: What dares stand in the way of our dark cause?

??: Dear brother, its human arrogance as always. In their last breathe, our agents reported that there are those out there that are "immune" to the gift, and even worst our inside has reported that there is a potential cure for the gift... while our victory is ensured, there is a chance for humanity to come back should they in any way obtain that cure.. That's where you are needed Brother Vulture.

Agent Vulture: Anything for the cause master!

??: We need you to arrive at the checkpoint. An agent will fly you as close to ground zero as they possibly can in a likely one way trip. From there you are to burn everything to the ground to ensure the plague known as the human race goes extinct. Should you fail...

Agent Vulture: There will be hope for human plague to overcome the gift.

??: Exactly..

Agent Vulture: Master, i will need.. gear, weapons, rations, i am on the run at the moment an-

??: Just do whatever you need to in order to get to the checkpoint, you will be provided with everything you can ever hope for there thanks to our funding, just GET THERE AND DESTROY THE RESEARCH! We have all came so far, undergone so many hardships and struggle in order to ensure humanity's extinction, we cannot take any chances.. This is my last message to you Brother Vulture, it all rest on you... And should you succeed, you are to say in Knox County as a guardian, killing any sinners that dare try to undo the punishment mankind has brought onto itself, is that clear..

Agent Vulture: It is, and i shall master...

??: Good brother vulture.. this will be our last broadcast. I know you wont let us down, there is a special place for you in the great void. Now make haste, your enemies are closing in on you, death to humanity.

Agent Vulture; Death to Humanity.

Although very different, I quite like this suggestion! Very unique, creative and almost creepy aha

ha thanks mate, funny thing is i was drunk as f and don't even remember writing it, i got creep'd out when i saw it. iv been enjoying your mod btw, its a good balance when playing with sprinters and destroying all the military checkpoints is a legit challenge, keep up the good work

I think you could reproduce and improve the experience of "The Cure" series by Arean on Youtube.

The Insurgent is parachuted with the following objectives:

1) Retrieve secret documents at the military base
2) Activate and keep all four radios functional (Save Our Station! Mod) so that any survivors in the exclusion area can tune in
3) Complete the field research to finalize the vaccine (Zombie Virus Vaccine Mod)
4) Go to a certain coordinate (random or not) with the secret documents and the vaccine to be picked up by a helicopter

[9 Months Later: Anomalous Kentucky]

Operation: Dying Sun

As the world succumbed to the hordes humanity found new ways to thrive, be them bunkers, military holdouts, or roaming nomads.

You were part of the first and second. You were sent in via airdrop or insertion via the distant edges of the maps into Kentucky to establish a new FOB for research operations for one simple reason:

Kentucky isn't what it used to be anymore. Plagued with anomalously cold weather, killing rains of blood, and sometimes even nuclear fallout. And the Zombies are stronger, faster and more for lack of better words: Hordie.

The Zone is wondrous but deadly,
There just might be hope for a cure.

Your Ecologist-Exploratory-1
It is up to you and only you to setup operations.
This is a Long-Away OP, prepare well.

Objectives:
1. After Insertion Establish Radio Contact and a Radio Relay with HQ: By Muldraugh you caught wind of an old Radio station from some Older-Nomad groups, COMMAND has defined this as a potential HQ and Radio Contact point. However it would require going through Muldraugh or through the woodland.
2. Establish FOB: Require Supply's, Fortifications, Vehicles, and anything else of use to begin ground operations.
3. Research the Cure and Anomaly's (This is where a cure mod and stalker artefacts would work well.): Establish either beginning operations, gather a stockpile of anomaly's in safe storage, or work on the Cure yourself.
4. After establishment of FOB and 3 Primary Objectives: Extract or Stay on-site, teams will deploy. If they can get through the weather and anomaly's...

Dangers/Settings/Mods:
Zombie Spawns set to 1.5
Zombie Spawn multiplier set 1, starts day 1
Rally Groups are set to max, distance to gather from as well, distance between hordes decreased.
Your Choice of Random Zombies/Mutations. Sprinters mixed in with slow shamblers, stay alert and on your toes.
Your choice of cold weather modifications: I use Permafrost instead of Cryogenic Winter as you can better control temps. I set it to -25 min and 5 max with no permanent snowfall. With nature being on Cold and Rainy. This way you can see things other just snow, but still need to layer.
Anomalous Weather: Your choice of either both or one of Anomalous Storm and Nuclear Winter. Random sound events with Disasters, Stalker, and Nukes are also an add if you want it to be even harsher.
Water Goes Bad: Optional if you want water to in sinks and stuff to be tainted at start or close too start.
Surviving Through the Seasons: To cause seasons to change quickly instead of slowly.
Immersive Medicine: Optional if you want a truly hardcore medical mod. My friend group and I play it and we can do so because one of our mates is an actual doctor irl.
And of course. Stalker Artefacts and your choice of Cure mod.

Cheat Menu-Mod if you want to just spawn in, go god and ghost and spawn yourself in your predefined loadout if your choosing a different profession but same sort of insertion.

[1 Month Later: Operation Deep Strike. Reclaim Louisville.]

[Requirement(Sorta): Friends]

You and your Team have been deployed neck deep into the LVDZ to estabilish a critical beachhead for much needed supply runs. This far into the apoclaypse has toughened your team and increased your skills. But this will certainly be a true test. While you aren't on a timer, supplies are currently Critical back at MMSHQ.

Get to work, pray to god, harden your steel.

///Objectives///

Setup an FOB on the shoreline for the Seaborne Fleet to dock, the Oil Refinery in the Industrial District seems good. However the Repurposed Building the Old Military used seems all good to go.
FOB Must have its own Food and Water supply as well as Power, bedding, be heavily fortified, and other neccessities.

Setup Multiple Safehouses in several districts around the LVDZ. Ensure safehouses have some level of supply and protection. High Up places without easy Zombie access is preferable.

Ensure the Teams Survival


///Side Objectives///

Daily: Team Resupply: Good locations are Ready Prep, The Repurposed Building used by former Military, and if you dare, LVDZ's Grand Ohio Mall.

Clear sectors of Zombies, ensure they don't come back.

Keep the FOB clear of Zombies.

Sweep and Retrieve, Backup, and Burn, Pioneer
Warning: By partaking this operation, you accept any liability resulting from you're orders. Should it come to it, deviate from the plan, and take your own path should the ordered one be unavailable. Do not radio for evacuation if you have not completed your mission objectives if the helicopter arrives to evac you, and you have not recovered the materials lied out in the brief, you will be killed.

Yes: X

No:

Operation Occulta culpa

Briefing:

Operator: First Sargent Herbokowitz

Top dog needs you to ship out quickly so this briefing with be quickly.

Upon landing at the LZ, you will be met by a survivor from the Exclusion Zone. He will be
doing much of the technical work while you keep him safe. He is equipped with a subdermal vital tracker. If we detect he has died, you will have failed your mission and will be abandoned in the Exclusion Zone.

A vehicle should've been dropped at you location alongside you. As soon as you land, meet the survivor, and report to the Military base Northwest of the Landing Zone.

Locate the Experimental Vial, terminate any lucid humans inside the base, and destroy the base.

Next, trek from the base to Rosewood. Report to the front of the prison, and use any means available to you to draw out the infected within the prison, whether it be baiting them oput yourself, using sirens from polic vehicles, or noise generators.

Next, enter town, and seize and destroy any military grade hardware, and terminate any survivors who see you. Cut through Muldraugh, identify a suitable safehouse, clear it out, and mark it with a homing beacon. (just clear it out, and leave a radio there if you have it.)
Proceed to West Point, and Riverside, repeating the process you did in Muldraugh.

For the final leg of your mission, proceed to Louisville. Recommend you stash your vehicle somewhere safe and secure, and set up an FOB. Once you have entered the Louisville city limits, a transponder that will be inserted into your suit beforehand will ping your location, and a helicopter will move the the extraction point. You will have a week to reach the Finnegan Research Facility, sweep it for any remaining materials pertaining to the virus.

Remain here for at least one day while the survivor downloads data from the building's server. Then you are to destroy the building with any means available to you.

After one day, confiscate the drive which holds the the data from the survivor, and terminate them. You'll now need to leg it to the extraction point where you were dropped. Top dog wants the extraction to be secret so you cannot be extracted in the city.

At the extraction point, you are to surrender any weapons in your possession, accept a test for the virus, and turn over the materials you retrieved during the mission.

Download Superb Survivors, and enable the spouse option in the Superb Survivors Option tab. They are the scientist that will need to survive. If they die, you fail the challenge.

If you fail to complete the mission before the time limit, then you are "dead" and can just survive around the map.

In Character creation, give yourself a mask and gloves to prevent anyone from identifying you.

To set up safehouses, the place must have two stories, and a sizeable area near it. Clear it, and move on.

Take the emotionless trait for RPing reasons

Disable raiders, and set NPC behavior to 80% Hostile.

Kill any and all NPCs that you meet.

Seize any assault rifles, or SMGs and their applying ammunition. Destroy them or keep them.

Idk I'm sleep deprived at midnight posting this lol. Feel free to edit it, or just shorten it, and DM me if you beat the challenge.
