Smoke grenades tend to be used as long-range signaling, such as giving an air asset your location to pick you up or giving said asset a location of a target to engage with heavy firepower. Smokes come in a variety of colors. Many Arma units standardize the colors unit-wide, meaning any usage of a particular color in ''any'' operation the unit engages in has the same meaning. EDC does ''not'' do this. Whether a grenade color has any significance will be determined by the operation leader or otherwise someone in the chain of command in the operation. If you are ever confused about a particular smoke grenade color that you spot, do not hesitate to ask someone. You may just spot an ''enemy'' smoke.

[[File:GQI1-acre-speaking-volumes.PNG|thumb|The various colored bars which represent speaking volume. Level 0 is a whisper whereas level 4 is shouting.]]

{{Note|This certification will not explain the installation of ACRE2. For that, please see the [https://acre2.idi-systems.com/wiki/user/installation '''appropriate documentation''']. You should ''not'' perform a manual installation, and instead use the workshop addon. You may of course ask any willing EDC member for help.|type=reminder}}

Another very popular addon that EDC uses is '''[https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=751965892 ACRE2]''' (colloquially called just "ACRE" among members). It is an addon that hooks into TeamSpeak 3 and with it creates a proximity chat environment. Voices will be heard directionally, you will only hear voices in your vicinity, and, the feature it's ''really'' used for, it realistically mimics radio use. As a simple example, the AN/PRC-343 is a short wave radio and will barely clear a kilometer in range. In contrast, the AN/PRC-152 can easily clear 5 kilometers.

Speaking volume in ACRE can be set manually by doing {{Key press|Tab|Scroll Wheel}} with scroll wheel ''up'' increasing your volume and ''down'' decreasing your volume. There are 5 speaking levels (starting at an index of 0), indicated via colored bars.

* Level 0 is a whisper

* Level 1 is speaking softly

* Level 2 is regular speaking volume

* Level 3 is a raised speaking volume

* Level 4 is shouting

The advised default speaking volume is 1 and only increased if situationally appropriate and necessary.
