Official DLC Description

» |
Set at the height of the Vietnam War, S.O.G. Prairie Fire has players charging into battle with a wide range of historically accurate firearms along with both ground and air vehicles. Accompanying the sandbox assets are a variety of playable missions in the DLC's titular co-op campaign and several multiplayer/singleplayer scenarios.
This Creator DLC also includes the Cam Lao Nam terrain. A sprawling landscape that includes parts of Laos and Cambodia, this Vietnamese-themed terrain covers over 300 km² of tropical jungle, heavily built up towns, isolated villages and farmland, mixed in with military bases and rivers.
All proceeds made from the sale of S.O.G. Prairie Fire are shared between the developers of the DLC (Savage Game Design, the creators), the publisher (Bohemia Interactive), and the digital distributor (Valve).
NOTE: The content in S.O.G. PF is completely optional to acquire. Unlike inhouse DLCs developed and released by Bohemia Interactive, content is only downloaded if the user purchases the DLC.
Optionally, players can download a trial version from the Workshop which is intended to be used for multiplayer compatibility purposes. The terrains and campaign are not fully accessible however, and vehicles cannot be driven or commanded outside of the editor without purchasing the DLC.
Content
Post-release assets will be gradually added via patches to the DLC's content library and expanded over time as they are completed. All additions are free of charge for both existing and future owners of the DLC.

SGD Publishing Extras
Published by Savage Game Design, these extra addons/game modes are free (unofficial) additions separately made available for use with the Creator DLC. They can be subscribed to via ArmA 3's Steam Workshop section:
Community Language Pack
The S.O.G. Prairie Fire - Community Language Pack offers localisation support for non-English languages. It was made with contributions from various members of the ArmA community.
The latest version (May 6th, 2021) adds localisation for Polish, Turkish, Korean, and Japanese. Additional languages may be included in future versions.
Mike Force
A unique game mode designed specifically for S.O.G. Prairie Fire, Mike Force was released on May 6th, 2021 as a beta. It is a persistent, open-world, co-operative multiplayer mission that allows players to choose from one out of four combined arms roles.
They must build bases to expand their capabilities, and to survive in the jungle against a numerically superior force of North Vietnamese. As players progress through the mission, they will earn rank points and medals which will unlock better equipment and supports. A dynamic AI commander ensures that no two playthroughs will ever be the same experience.
Trivia
- S.O.G. Prairie Fire is the first Creator DLC to feature a Vietnam War setting rather than taking place in a Cold War-era European location.
- It is the second third party-developed DLC to be released under the Creator DLC programme.
- Originally, S.O.G. Prairie Fire would have been the third CDLC to be released after CSLA Iron Curtain.
- Due to logistical delays with the latter, its release was pushed back to a then-unknown 2021 release date.
