Today Tripwire Interactive announces the addition of Steam Workshop support for Red Orchestra 2, making it easy to download or share custom maps and mods for your game.

While there isn't much available in the Workshop just yet, expect to see some top-notch maps soon, as mappers compete in Tripwire Interactive's “Counterattack” Custom Map Making Competition, on now. With over $35,000-worth of prizes, including a custom PC for the Grand Prize winner, we're sure to see some incredible maps show up. Information on the contest can be found here.

If you're interested in trying your hand at modding, or at participating in the mapping contest, the team at Tripwire has put together a handy wiki with documentation for getting started with the RO2 editor and publishing to the Workshop. The Red Orchestra 2 SDK is free for anyone that owns Red Orchestra 2, and can be found in the 'tools' section of your Steam library.
