Arma 3 itself has 4 difficulties, one of which can be customized by you.
Below, we will show you how to adjust the “custom” difficulty.
Adjusting the file is quite simple.

mapContent = 0; // Extended map content
autoReport = 0; // (former autoSpot) Automatic reporting of spotted enemied by players only. This doesn't have any effect on AIs.
multipleSaves = 0; // Multiple saves
};
// aiLevelPreset defines AI skill level and is counted from 0 and can have following values: 0 (Low), 1 (Normal), 2 (High), 3 (Custom).
// when 3 (Custom) is chosen, values of skill and precision are taken from the class CustomAILevel.
aiLevelPreset = 3;
};
class CustomAILevel {
skillAI = 0.5;
precisionAI = 0.5;
};
};
Now, to start a map with the custom difficulty, you can simply do so in the CONFIG_server.cfg:
class Missions {
class Mission1 {
template = "coop_01.cam_lao_nam";
difficulty = "Custom";
};
};
