I’m holding out hope for more DLC for Wildlands, but the Season Pass only included Narco Road and Fallen Ghosts. Tons of new enemies abound, including Predator-cloaked baddies ( Los Extranjeros) that you can only see with infrared vision. Oh, and you get a modifiable crossbow too, complete with explosive darts. The level cap is raised to 35 and there are a bunch of new skills involving your drone (Flashbangs, Attack Drones, Explosive Drones), your ability to stay hidden or underwater, and weapon skills too.
As such, you’re level 30 at the start, and all skills are fully leveled. The government has gone corrupt, and once again it’s up to you to get in, expose the lies, and topple a nasty regime.Īgain, this is wholly self-contained, so you don’t need to have finished Wildlands to play Fallen Ghosts. You and the entirety of your Wildlands crew are sent back into Bolivia after the events of the main campaign. It’s a more serious DLC than Narco Road, and plays out a bit like Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Meanwhile, Fallen Ghosts is the probably my favorite part of Wildlands yet. Your level 20 Ghost also gets new skills involving the gangs and their support.
Hell, it’s like Ghost Recon meets Scarface, because there are also tons of rich-people-only sports cars all over the landscape, and they’re mostly all equipped with nitro boosts. The more of the gang you win to your side, the more missions and hidden locations they’ll reveal to you. You’re tasked with infiltrating the SB, so you’ve got to do crazy stunts and complete missions to impress them. Sure Narco Road is a bit over the top and more tongue in cheek than the dark and gritty story of Wildlands, but it’s also more fun. You start at level 20, since it’s separate from the main campaign, and you don’t look back. Due to this, Narco Road is about fun, immediately. You get access to monster trucks, four different rival gangs, and the entire world is open and fast-travel enabled from the get go. Narco Road tells the tale of your Ghost infiltrating the Santa Blanca cartel undercover. But the self-contained DLC campaigns are a whole other story. While Ghost Recon Wildlands is a wholly enjoyable open world, it was/is often better when treated as a sandbox to play in with friends rather than a scripted world with a decent narrative. What is Narco Road and Fallen Ghosts all about?Ī lot of folks knocked Wildlands’ “meh” story at launch, ourselves included. More specifically, we’re talking about the two released Ghost Recon Wildlands DLC: Narco Road and Fallen Ghosts. This week, we’re delving into Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon Wildlands.
They’re not reviews, and sometimes the games discussed may be obscure, but there’s always a good reason we think you should be playing whatever title we’re gabbing about. In a new recurring column called “You Should Be Playing”, we’re going to take a look at games of all types – the AAA to the Indie, and explore why they deserve a look.
