Step 2 – Extract the archive file by any archive tool
They are various archive tools available to work with archive files. It’s the player’s choice to use any desired tool to extract the RAR archive file (.rar), such as WinRAR, WinZip, 7Zip, etc.
For this guide, “7-Zip” has been chosen to be explained. This freeware is available to download and use by everyone on the Internet. To download “7-Zip”, please visit www.7-zip.org. Make sure to download the suitable version according to your operating system architecture (32bit or 64bit OS).
Once the “7-Zip” installation finished, follow the instructions to extract the RAR archive file:
- Navigate to the “Downloads” folder or anywhere else where the RAR archive file you want to extract is. (.rar)
Right-click on the file, then from the side list, select “Extract files.”
- On the 7-Zip extraction dialog window, press “ok,” and wait until the extraction process ends.
Step 3 – Move the mod folder to the game mods folder
- Right-click on the extracted folder and then select “cut” from the list.
- Now open your Steam client, click on the “Library” tab. Find “Men of War Assault Squad 2” from the list, then right-click on it and select “Properties.”
- On the new window, open the “LOCAL FILES” label, then click on “Browse… .”
- Open the “mods” folder.
- Paste the CW mod folder in the “mods” folder.
- You should have no extra sub-folders for the mod folder. Any additional sub-folders cause the game to not recognize and detect the mod.
- Note: Repeat steps 2-3 for the “English localization” package mod as well in case you downloaded the localization package manually, not through the Steam workshop.
Step 4 – Activate and apply the mod
- Launch Men of War Assault Squad 2 through Steam. From the main menu, select “Options”
- Click on the “Mods” tab, and then double-click on the “Cold War” X_X_X and “Cold War English” to activate them.
- After activating both mod packages, press “Apply,” then wait until the process is finished.
- Once the process is finished, make sure to restart your game once before playing the mod in order to avoid encountering unwanted issues with the game during the gameplay.
Additional package – Test units
Cold War “Test units” mod is an additional mod package that contains the latest Cold War mod expansions such as new units, assets, and missions besides the units’ balance changes. The contents of this package are constantly being updated, and periodically the changes release as a new patch.
In case you are interested in joining the PVP multiplayer scheduled test sessions, you have to download the latest version of “Test units” mod and apply it combined with the CW mod and the English localization.
