There is one golden rule to choosing your equipment in ghost recon Wildlands: use a suppressor. Order your squad to ‘fire’ - again, by holding the F key – and when the lead car rolls over your C4, hit the detonator then watch as your buddies neatly pop a bullet through the truck's windscreen and into the driver's face Pull in front of the convoy (the 4x4, strangely, seems to be one of Wildlands’ fastest vehicles, though you can also hijack a sports car) and lob a couple of charges into the road. A better tactic is to finish the first two missions, bump your character to level 2 and use one of the in-game hubs to purchase C4. Simply pulling up alongside the convoy and ordering your squad to open fire - which you can do with a single press of the F key - almost uniformly results in failure.
But in Wildlands, especially at the game's beginning, the guys guarding the convoy trucks are much better armed than you are and move very, very quickly. Simply pile your car into the target vehicle then hop out and gun down the remaining enemies. In past Ubisoft games – and in games generally, actually – missions like these are straightforward. Be particularly careful of the ‘convoy’ assignments, wherein you have to stop a truck of cartel supplies from reaching its destination and put down its entire escort of armed guards. Wildlands : Side-missions however can be very tricky. Also, story missions often result in areas of the map becoming cleared out of all cartel goons, allowing you to freely access other goodies, which we'll get into later, and fast travel between a greater amount of waypoints. Intel folders, typically, are located right next to story missions, so instead of traipsing back and forth around the map, doing the main jobs one-by-one carries you and your squad along a natural route around each district.
So, there are two ways you can about each distric 'ghost recon Wildlands't: either you collect all the intel and then finish the story missions on the bounce, before facing the cartel boss proper, or do them one by one. Break it into chunks, though, and it starts to make sense for Ghost recon Wildlands. Taken all at once, the game's mechanics and systems, combined with its icon-heavy world map, can be overwhelming. Ghost Recon Wildlands arrives in March, but after several hours playing the closed beta, we already have a handful of tips to help you thrive in its sprawling.
