Ghost Recon Wildlands PvP Update Brings New Maps, Free Game Mode, And More (VIDEO)
Ghost Recon Wildlands is a huge game and that means lots of space to explore, but some just want to shoot others for some good ol’ fun. Thankfully, Ubisoft recently added a multiplayer feature to the game called Ghost War and its very first update has arrives. Ghost Recon Wildlands PvP update brings in some much needed TLC with loads of additional content, maps, a free mode, a character class, and more. That doesn’t even hit the surface. Check out the introductory video below for the nitty-gritty or a complete list farther down:
Uplink is the new and free game mode for all. Teams of four players must achieve an object before the others and that means using any tactics possibly to get there first. Hack access points placed on central locations on the map before the other teams and success is assured. That is unless your team decides to just eliminate everyone for the sake of it. With Uplink, four specially dedicated environments will be available to play.
The latest class added alongside the Ghost Recon Wildlands PvP update includes the Disruptor, an assault character that jams enemy access to mini-maps and the others abilities to see marks. Player with a season pass will get this class for free, but others will have to work for it by purchasing it with Prestige Credits after the exclusivity time frame for pass holders end. Other classes will be receiving some balancing changes as well. Without further ado, the bulk of the Wildlands PvP update can be viewed below:
