Ghost Recon adds more content again, including a much requested feature
Ubisoft has announced a new Special Operation coming to Ghost Recon Wildlands on July 24, which contains new PvE and PvP experiences.
Perhaps the biggest addition with the update is Ghost Mode, a PvE game mode, which features Permadeath. Ghost Mode will expand the stakes, be you playing solo or in co-op and in addition to permadeath and it will also add real reloading.
The full list of new Ghost Mode conditions are:
· Permadeath: If players are not revived when down, their game is over and progression is reset.
· New Loadout: Players will only be able to use one main weapon and one handgun.
· Real Reloading: When players reload with a partially full clip, remaining bullets will be lost.
· Friendly Fire: Players’ shots and actions can cause damage to teammates.
· Gear Management: Players can only switch weapons at ammo boxes or by looting enemies.
· Teammate Removal: For a true solo experience, players can now choose to play without AI teammates (also available in the main campaign of the game).
In addition to Ghost Mode, Special Operation 2 will also have a wealth of new Ghost War PvP–focused features, including a brand-new free-roam camera tool to make matches more spectator- and tournament-friendly. These features include:
· Two New PvP Classes will be introduced (available starting July 24 for Year 2 Pass owners)
· Two New PvP Maps, including a highly requested snow-terrain map.
· Observer Mode: A new spectate feature that can be used to watch and showcase custom PvP matches through specific tools and a free-roam camera.
· New Ranked Features: Introduction of a new Progression Bar that tracks Ranked progress, showing players their position in the current league.
· Post-Match Celebration Screen: A new post-match screen where the winning team is showcased.
· Social Items: A new feature consisting of emotes, voice lines and victory poses to further personalize players’ experiences (also available in the main campaign of the game).
If you want to sample these, you can do so now, if you purchase the season 2 pass for Ghost Recon Wildlands, for those without, you will need to wait until July 24, which is only a few days away.
