Be under command of Erwin Rommel or Bernard Montgomery. Choose what tactic you want to use when fighting an enemy.
Based on Rising Storm 2 Vietnam, it pushes players from jungles with helicopters to nasty and hot desert battles using a wide variety of equipment, abilities and vehicles. Inspired by Mare Nostrum, it builds on the realistic and tactical game play that made it a fan favorite.
Choose between Afrika Korps of German army or 8th army of Commonwealth. From both sides not only weapons used in North African campaign are available, but also a certain amount of customization options to hide your face away from desert storms.

Hello everyone! Today on a special occasion we are going to update you on various media updates as well as music for our mod!
First of all, lets show what we were working on.
Simon Hurts is multi-awards winner music composer and producer, he let all Desert Rats music to be composed, performed and directed by himself and recorded, mixed and mastered at the “Musik Factory Studios”, have a look!
We have started making a mod using RS2 features as a base, however we realized we were able to expand them much further than we initially anticipated.
And that concludes our showcase for today, make sure to join our discord to get regular updates on the mod status!
New Desert Rats Development Update. Featuring brand new alpha footage video, showcase of new vehicles, weapons and maps.

I can't wait for this mod it looks great, one question are they going to put the Italian army with the carcano rifles and everything?
We do hope to include Italians in our mod, however at the moment there are just not enough resources for it, especially in regards of character art which is the most crucial aspect to ensure their addition.
Hi North_Dumpling, if you want I can give you two PDF books on the Italian army in North Africa, plus two PDF books on Italian vehicles and aircraft respectively. 👍
I'm Italian and I think that the Regio Esercito must absolutely be in a mod set in the war in North Africa.
These would be great to have indeed. You can post them in our discord if you like.
Hi, I have entered your Discord but I cannot write anything. If you want I can send the documentation to you via private message on Discord. 🙂
This looks amazingly well done, can't wait for release! Will all of the vehicles showcased be operable or are some if not all merely for show?
All our vehicles shown are entirely drivable and operable except for LeFH18 which is just a map asset.
Whens this bad boy supposed to come out. Its not cancelled is it?
Desert Rats is still in very active development and it wont be cancelled due to being beyond the point of no return.
We do need some help though pushing the production rate at higher speed than it is at the moment.
We were hoping to release in 2021, however 2022 seems more feasible for a release date.
Will this mod allow the ANZACS to be selectable? Preferably without the Brodie Helmets.
I'm afraid there will be no ANZACs, only Australians and will be available on certain maps such as Tobruk.
