This Arma3 mission is the official successor of the original Escape mission from Arma 2, which was the first of its kind. The name is always prefixed with "co10" to differentiate it from the "Escape from XXX" missions that were released with Arma 3 by Bohemia Interactive.
In this mission, you and your squad have been captured by enemy forces during a covert operation to gather intelligence on their presence ahead of a planned invasion. You're now being held captive and awaiting interrogation by high ranking enemy officers. However, loyal locals have hidden a stash of weapons in your prison, and it's up to you to retrieve them, overcome your guards, and escape. Once you're out, your objective is to find a map of the area, make contact with friendly forces, and reach the designated evacuation zone.
The mission is fully dynamic, meaning that every playthrough will be different. It's also quite challenging and designed to be played more than once.
Escape was originally developed by Engima of Östgöta Ops for ArmA2. When ArmA3 was released, Vormulac and HyperZ made the effort to port the mission over to ArmA3. From that point on, Captain P. Star and Scruffy improved and fixed the mission to its current state. Most of the scripts have been replaced and updated to A3 standards and many new features and submodules where added. At this point Escape is mostly rewritten
The last official release was 1.10.
