While Ghost Recon Wildlands is already a good game, it could be even more fun with these changes.
Since early March, you can play the full version of Ghost Recon Wildlands on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Already during the testing phases, players noticed some issues that bothered them about the game.
Although the “finished” game is well-received by gamers, there are still a few points of criticism from the community. The following changes could give Ghost Recon Wildlands the desired polish and significantly increase the fun of playing.
Hiding Bodies
If there were the option to hide bodies in Ghost Recon Wildlands, it would make some missions easier. Many of you play the tactical shooter in stealth mode and try to complete missions unseen. But if an enemy patrol stumbles upon a lifeless body, the “staying inconspicuous” is quickly over.
As proper “Ghosts,” there should be an option to move and hide bodies, similar to PayDay 2.
Supply Distribution in the Squad
You probably know the following situation: Together with your friends, you are walking through a village where you want to complete a mission. Along the way, you notice one of the blinking barrels that contains supplies:
You go over, mark the barrel
Say in TS “Hey, there’s supply here”
Each of your teammates moves away from their current position and comes to your spot
One by one, they all mark the barrel
Player 2 says “There’s also something over there”
Everyone rushes to the next supply
This delays the actual mission progress and distracts you from the objective.
Ubisoft, PLEASE make it so that only one player has to mark the supply and allies nearby can benefit from it. Why shouldn’t the whole group get +250 food if they are at the same mission objective or within 500 meters of each other?
Tuning for the UNIDAD
In general, the UNIDAD are an interesting feature in Ghost Recon Wildlands. However, they could be improved a bit. Currently, if you are spotted by the patrol, you have to kill them as quickly as possible. If you fail to do that, you quickly have a few helicopters and heavy ground vehicles on your tail that you need to get rid of first.
Fast travel is not possible from this position since you are in combat.
The general behavior of the UNIDAD could be improved since currently it seems a bit careless with the motto “Here, eat our army!”.
Saved Outfits with Weapons
It is advantageous to quickly choose your outfits in Ghost Recon Wildlands. You can save special outfits and adapt them to specific regions or conditions. Maybe you’ll set aside a snow camouflage outfit for missions in the mountains and have dark green clothing for the jungle.
It would be good if you could also choose specific weapons including skins that belong to the outfit. If you don’t care much about appearance, you can at least create presets for sniper, assault rifle, or shotgun builds.
Reticles for Armed Helicopters
While helicopter control is a point of criticism that has existed since the beta, there are further issues with armed helicopters. Without a reticle, it is challenging to hit enemy targets. It is problematic to determine whether you are at the correct height when there is no reticle to indicate the target.
While this is just a small improvement, it would significantly simplify shooting with the helicopters.
Improved Spawning in Coop
Playing in coop mode is generally a fun adventure with your friends. Together you try out new tactics and may attempt a Rambo method after playing stealth for the last three hours.
Depending on the difficulty, it can happen that the team dies and has to respawn. At this point, there seems to be a certain RNG factor built into Ghost Recon Wildlands, as allies often spawn several hundred meters away. They now have to catch up with the team before they can try the mission again.
This may just be a current bug that the developers will fix in the next patch.
