Ghost Recon Wildlands Tips: How to Win a Firefight

Loadout

While most combat situations in the Ghost Recon Wildlands Beta can be tackled in a number of different ways, it is generally a good idea to prepare for any unforeseen scenario beforehand.

What this entails is knowing what weapons better suit you and your friend’s playstyle, and preparing all of your loadouts accordingly. Not all situations require the Super Shorty shotgun, and knowing when to swap it out, with say a silenced MP5, can mean the difference between completing and failing a mission.

It is also a good idea to keep at least one of your three weapon slots reserved for a silenced weapon anyway, as you never know when the need to be stealthy might suddenly arrive.

The game requires you to constantly adapt to the evolving needs of the situations, and as such, provides players with a very large arsenal of weapons and tools at their disposal.

Reconnaissance

The map of Ghost Recon Wildlands is absolutely gigantic. As such, it is recommended that you do a fair bit of recon to get better acquainted with your surrounding before you decide to rush into an enemy outpost.

You do this by using the two most important tools at your disposal, the binoculars and the drone. Not only do these allow you to tag enemies in the field, they also allow you to locate any resource caches or vehicles you might have missed otherwise. And you will need to make use of these tools often, as enemies in Bolivia are often present in large numbers and can sometimes be almost undetectable against the natural foliage of the world.

The game really likes to drive the whole “Recon” in its name home.

Teamwork

As previously mentioned, enemies in the world are present in very large numbers. On top of which, your characters aren’t exactly bullet sponges either, and can take very little punishment before they go down. So whether you decide to play the beta single-player or co-op, it almost goes without saying that Ghost Recon Wildlands absolutely demands teamwork.

Proper use of flanking maneuvers, diversions and cover fire can go a long way in helping out your fellow Ghosts. You may also need to constantly coordinate shots with your team to ensure that enemies go down at the same time, allowing you to bypass, or even completely liberate, guarded outposts undetected.

Proper communication and teamwork is absolutely key in Ghost Recon Wildlands, and the game doesn’t just encourage it, it demands it of you.
