Free PvE Mode: Guerrilla

Test your endurance with our brand-new PvE mode: Guerrilla. In Guerrilla Mode you and up to 3 friends will face waves of Cartel and Unidad members. With each round, the forces rallying against you will grow deadlier as you gather resources to defend key locations.

Before each wave starts, you will enter a preparation phase in which you can strategically chose your weapons and attachments. These can be upgraded by collecting gear by defeating enemies and exchanging the gear with the shopkeeper.

Completing waves will grant you XP, Tier points, and Prestige Credits as well as an exclusive gear set the first time you beat all 25 waves.

Hello Ghosts,

We’re immensely grateful for your support in Year 2 of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® Wildlands, from your swift response to the call of Sam Fisher to your expert extraction skills in Operation Archangel.

We’re happy to announce that Special Operation 3 will bring you brand-new content on Tuesday, December 11.

Special Operation 3 will feature a strong new theme with PvE and PvP content, community-requested features, and more. Let’s jump into some details:

PvE Mission and Rewards: Special Operation 3 will contain a free PvE mission and other rewards.

PvP Classes + Maps: Two Ghost War classes inspired by the Special Operation 3 theme will join the fight. We will also have two new maps for you to test their kits on.

Year 2 Pass: Year 2 pass holders will get access to another pack containing community-requested items, as well as early, direct access to the Ghost War classes starting December 11 for one week.

Photo Mode: Capture your epic moments and the beautiful scenery of the Wildlands with our new Photo Mode feature.

Prestige Economy: Based on community feedback, we will be implementing further updates to the Prestige Economy that build upon the changes from Special Operation 2. We’ll have more information coming soon.

New Customization Items: More than 90 new items will be added to the store, including a new pack related to the theme.

We will have more intel to share with you soon on the theme, PvE, and PvP content.

Stay tuned, Ghosts.

On July 24th, our second update of Year 2 will be released: Special Operation 2. This update will be available on PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One. The size of the patch will be 6GB on Steam, 18GB on Uplay and up to 18GB on consoles depending on your version. Please note that you will need to restart and update your platform to be able to play online.

FREE MISSION: OPERATION ARCHANGEL

Join Twitch on a mission to track down missing Operative in the Wildlands. Who is this Operative? Why are they here? Head over to Caimanes to launch Operation Revenge and find out. Completing Operation Revenge will reward players with Caveira Gloves, which include Caveira’s iconic CQC move, unlocking the position of all enemies within the vicinity in our Campaign Mode.

AI TEAMMATE TOGGLE ON/OFF

You can now play all of our PVE Campaigns entirely solo, with no AI Teammates. Simply toggle them off in the game menu for a true, lone wolf experience. Be careful however, as this mode means that each down is counted as a death since there is no one to revive you.

GHOST MODE

Ghost Mode is a new permadeath PVE game mode for those really looking for a challenge. This new, free mode will be accessible through the main menu and can be played in both solo and co-op, and at any difficulty setting. In Ghost Mode you’ll only have one primary weapon to accompany your pistol and you’ll need to really think about when to reload, since the remaining bullets in your clip will be lost. Choose your weapons carefully since they can only be swapped out at ammo boxes. And to up the realism, we’ve also added friendly fire.

The realism and challenge of Ghost Mode will not be without its rewards, however. We will be adding milestones you can reach in this mode that will bring Prestige Credits among other rewards. Stay tuned for more intel on the well-deserved rewards this new challenge will bring.

On July 24th, Year 2 Pass holders will have one week early access to Ghost Mode.

CHARACTER / AI CUSTOMISATION

You will now be able to change the face and gender of your character and AI Teammates at any time.

PROXIMITY MINES

Proximity Mines are now available in both PVE and PVP.

SOCIAL ITEMS

Things just got a lot more fun. We've added a new feature called "Social Items", which consists of 3 new item categories: Emotes, Voice Lines and Victory Poses, allowing you to further personalize your Ghost Recon Wildlands experience. These items are unlocked through Battle Crates and equipped via a new Social Page.

Social Wheel
In addition to the Comms Wheel, we now have the Social Wheel, allowing you to choose up to 5 Emotes and 5 Voice Lines to trigger. You can toggle between the Order Wheel and Social Wheel to access your Emotes.

Emotes
Emotes are character animations that can be triggered at any time, such as Face Palm, Lock and Load, and Air Guitar, just to name a few. A maximum of 5 Emotes can be equipped in the Social Wheel at one time.

Voice lines
Voice Lines are sound barks that your character says that can be heard only by your teammates or co-players. From tactical to banter, a maximum of 5 Voice Lines can be equipped in the Social Wheel at one time. So ‘Watch your flank, Hero!’.

Victory poses
Victory poses are stances your character makes in the victory screen at the end of a Ghost War match, which all players can see. These are triggered automatically and only one can be equipped at a time.

OBSERVER MODE

A player can now join a custom lobby in a dedicated slot and act as an observer of the match. They will have specific tools at hand that make the match more spectator-friendly, being able to see a player's location, loadout, deployed items, and follow their point of view. Additionally, observers have access to a free-roam camera, allowing you to roam the battle field. A great way to watch matches, this is also a great tool for players who want to watch and organize tournaments!

NEW CLASSES: SURGEON AND TOXIC

Nodding reference to two veteran Rainbow Six Operators, Doc and Smoke, two new Classes have come to the Wildlands: get ready for Surgeon and Toxic.

Surgeon

Surgeon is an Assault class that comes equipped with the famous MPD-0 Stim Pistol. This lets him heal and even revive downed team members by shooting them with it. It has 5 charges and a cooldown, but it's a strong ability that lets him turn the tides of battle and keep his team in fighting shape for long periods of time. This, together with Surgeon's passive HP bonus, make him a strong front-line contestant.

Toxic

Toxic is a Support class that can operate a drone capable of shooting deadly sulfur bombs. These instantly create a gas area on impact that slowly but steadily damages all players caught in it, including allies. Toxic is extremely effective in negating cover for enemies, as the gas can infiltrate buildings, flushing them out for him and his teammates to take them down or stopping them in their tracks. As opposed to the Guerrilla class, the gas cloud does not blind players, and can be easily seen through.

These two Classes are available a week early through the Year 2 Pass, but can also be purchased with Prestige Credits one week post-update.

CLASSES: BALANCING

Trapper
We’ve increased the Trapper's available gas mines from 2 to 3, and have decreased his cooldown time from 40 to 30 seconds. We have decreased the fire rate for the PSG-1, but increased the damage for both the PSG-1 and the G28 rifles. The Desert Eagle is also available to pick as a handgun.

Stalker
The Stalker can now destroy any drone with only 1 shot, and we increased the damage of the SRSA1 rifle.

Guerrilla
We've reduced the recoil of the Guerrilla's FAMAS G2 rifle.

Echelon
We've reduced the speed of the Echelon's sonar pulse, translating into a longer time interval between detecting enemies.

While using the sonar pulse ability, enemy player markers that are outside the screen area are now shown as out-of-screen markers, indicating the general direction of the ping.

MAPS

Elimination Mode: Checkpoint Map

Our first Ghost War snow map, Checkpoint, is a small Santa Blanca checkpoint at the crest of a small mountain ridge in Inca Camina, that will give you the opportunity for both long and short-ranged combat. The large, snowy hills are the perfect home for a sniper’s nest, while a dense Santa Blanca outpost has just the right cover for CQC teams to engage the enemy!

Sabotage Mode: Factory

Factory is an industrial factory that has been taken over by the Santa Blanca to hide cocaine. The elevated areas of this map help to provide a fun mix of fast-paced CQC and mid-ranged sniping. Make sure to always cover your teammates’ six!

DAILY CHALLENGES
Earn Prestige Credits by completing our new Daily Challenges for Ghost War. You will receive one challenge each day, and can have a maximum of 5 open challenges at a time. They reward you with Prestige Credits depending on their difficulty and can be removed at any time to make space for new ones. Additionally, once per day, you can re-roll a challenge to instantly receive a new one in its place.

RANKED

Progression Bar
We've introduced a Progression Bar that tracks your Ranked progress and gives you feedback upon losing and winning matches. Now you can know your position in the current league, and how close you are to promoting or demoting Rank.

Elite Position
The Elite Rank will now tell you your exact position in that league, compared to other Elite players. Hence, your position may change depending on the progress of other players, even when you don't engage in Ranked matches.

Double XP Event
A double XP event will now take place two times per week, each time lasting for 24 hours. This will double all XP sources inside a Ranked match, and will be showcased in the menu whenever it's live.

PRESTIGE REVAMP

The Prestige system and economy has been reworked to meet community feedback, to offer a more dynamic Ghost War progression experience.

Prestige Progression
Prestige will now be automatically activated upon reaching Level 50, after which you begin again at Level 1. Your unlocked classes, perks and bonuses will not be reset anymore upon activating your first level of Prestige. Every upgrade point will be automatically spent to unlock all non-prestige progression tree items. The Prestige level cap has been increased from 10 to 999, while the Prestige Credits reward per level-up has been decreased from 215 to 115.

Prestige Crates
We've introduced a new type of Crate called, Prestige Crates. Prestige Crates can only be purchased with Prestige Credits, each one containing a customization item. From now on, new customization items will be added to our Spec Ops and Ghost War Battle Crates, whereas Prestige Crates will contain previously released items (minus Icons, which remain available via our Battle Crates only). You can find the full list of all of our Battle Crate Items here[ghostreconnetwork.ubi.com].

Additionally, we've introduced a counter that increases by 1 for every new item gained from a Prestige Crate. For any duplicate items received, the increment counter increases by 1 and you will receive 10 Store Credits. Every time the counter reaches 20, you will receive a free Battle Crate and the counter resets itself.

Prestige Store
The Store has been reworked and now features two different tabs – the Store and the Prestige Store. In the Prestige Store, you can buy any item that costs Prestige Credits, like Classes, Armory Packs, or Prestige Crates. This will also allow you to choose your preferred currency, between Prestige Credits or Store Credits, when buying Classes.

Armory Packs
Armory Packs are an exciting way to further customize your Ghost War Classes. Purchasable via Prestige Credits, Armory Packs contain weapons that are currently available in the Campaign, but may not already exist in Ghost War. Additionally, they are Class-specific. Head over to your Progression Tab to use your Prestige Credits to unlock new weapons for your Classes.

Prestige Credits
Along with the new Prestige Economy, we have added some new ways to gain Prestige Credits. You can now gain them not only by unlocking Prestige in Ghost War, but via progression through the Campaign challenge system, Ghost Mode and Tier 1 Mode. PVP voting, PVP progression, and PVP Ranked Seasons will also yield Prestige Credits.

PC MENU TEXT CHAT

We have added the possibility for players to text chat inside the PC menus, either with every player inside the session, or simply with their own squad.

POST-MATCH SCREEN

We introduced a new post-match screen where the winning team is showcased along with info about its members, while also showing their equipped victory poses.

PLAYER SQUAD SHOWCASING

You can now see which players are in a squad while matchmaking and playing online.

DRONES

All Drones have had their maximum marking range decreased to 250m: Drone HUD's will now signal this.


STORE UPDATES

Battle Crates
Spec Ops and Ghost War Battle Crates have a new range of customization items.

Icon Skins
We’ve added new Rainbow Six Siege Operators to our current list of Icons: Jäger, Blitz, Zofia, Vigil, Blackbeard, Capitao and Jackal. Icons are only available through our Battle Crates.

Rainbow 6 Equipment Pack
This Rainbow Six Siege themed pack contains items that will help you achieve the look of your favorite Siege Operators. For both PVE and Ghost War, the Pack Revenge will contain a 1 Hole Balaclava, a Wrapped Shemagh, a Caveira Icon (including her iconic CQC), and a new Voice Line and Emote. The pack will also contain the 416 Rifle and the Luison weapon skin that are both available for use only in PVE. Please note that Caveira Gloves only unlock the position of nearby enemies in PVE.

Greetings Ghosts,

We have been thrilled to see your reactions to the announcement of the second year of content for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands, and the release of Special Operation 1. And now, releasing on July 24, Special Operation 2 will bring even more content for all of our players.

https://youtu.be/JTt8pCROSCU

Special Operation 2 will include a new strong theme, PVE experiences, Ghost War updates, as well as community-requested features. Let’s dive into more details:

Ghost Mode: Ghost mode is designed for the best of the best Ghosts out there. In this mode, you’ll be able to create a new character in order to take down the Santa Blanca under the most thrilling conditions.

• With only one primary weapon by your side, you’ll need to choose carefully. You will only be able to change your loadout at either an ammo box, or by looting fallen enemies.
  
  
• You will also need to plan out your reloads, as any remaining ammo in your magazine will be lost.
  
  
• Be extremely careful with your shots, Ghosts, or you could bring down your co-op team with friendly fire.
  
  
• And most importantly, with Ghost Mode, death is permanent. So stay frosty.
  
  Ghost Mode will be available for all difficulty settings, including Tier 1 Mode. And of course this challenge doesn’t come without rewards: more to come on that in our patchnotes. So put your skills to the test and reap the benefits that will come with success!
  
  This free mode will be available for all players, with a week-early access for Year 2 Pass holders starting on July 24th, 2018.
  
  True Solo: Those who are truly looking for a lone wolf experience can now toggle off their AI teammates in both our Campaign and Ghost Mode. Up for the challenge?
  
  New PVP Maps: We have two new maps coming to Ghost War, including a highly community- requested snow map.
  
  Victory Screen: The taste of victory will be made even sweeter with the return of the Victory Screen at the end of Ghost War matches. The winning team will now get to show off their customization and victory poses after a well-earned win.
  
  Observer Mode: Take your Ghost War experience to the next level with our brand new Observer Mode. Simply go into Custom Matches to both watch and showcase your Ghost War games. Game on!
  
  Ghost War Challenges: New daily challenges will now be available in Ghost War, rewarding players with Prestige credits for their extra hard work.
  
  Prestige Economy: You shared your feedback, and we heard you! Special Operation 2 will bring an overhaul of our Prestige economy. You will now be able to earn Prestige Credits not only in Ghost War, but also in the Campaign too (including Ghost Mode). A new tab in the Store will be added to allow you to spend your Prestige Credits not only on Ghost War Classes, but on Prestige Packs too, which include customization items.
  
  Year 2 Pass Updates: Not only do Year 2 Pass owners gain week-early access to all Ghost War Classes, they will now also enjoy a week-early access to Ghost Mode, starting on July 24th. The Year 2 Pass also includes the Splinter Cell Gear Pack and 8 Battle Crates. You can purchase a Year 2 Pass here.[store.ubi.com]
  
  New Customization Items: More than 100 new exclusive items have been added to our Battle Crates, including new Emotes, Voice Lines, customizable weapons, vehicles, and more!
  
  This is all the intel we have to share on Special Operation 2 for now. But more to come on our new theme, PVE missions, and two new PVP Classes.
  
  Stay tuned, Ghosts.

On March 14th, we will be releasing our next update, New Assignment. This update will be available on PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One. The size of the patch will be 4 GB on Steam, 15 GB on Uplay and up to 15 GB on consoles depending on your version. Please note that you will need to restart and update your platform to be able to play online.

New Assignment will bring a range of new content to Ghost War, including three new classes, Trapper, Stalker and Guerrilla. We have also introduced a new map-voting tool, allowing players to vote for one of three possible maps at the start of every match. We have also added two new maps, Refinery and Cliffside, for Extraction mode.

Refinery

This industrial factory is the largest cocaine lab in Bolivia. With a large defender area and multiple pathways, this map allows for varied gameplay and extraction approaches.

Cliffside

Once a Rebel stronghold, this village is now under the watch of the Santa Blanca. With tall buildings and snipping vantage points, Cliffside offers new tactics for Extraction mode.

For our Campaign mode, we have exclusively added more Fallen Ghosts weapons. Additionally, our Rainbow Six Siege Icons can be now collected via both our Ghost War and Spec Ops Crates, meaning they are available for customization in Ghost War as well as our Campaign.

CLASSES

We have introduced three new classes: Trapper, Stalker, and Guerrilla. All of them are available through the Season Pass and the Ghost War Pass, and can also be purchased with Prestige Credits.

Trapper

The Trapper is a Marksman that has both a passive ability and an active one. The passive ability permanently marks downed enemies on the HUD and map for all teammates. His active ability lets him place knock-out gas traps from a distance, damaging and stunning enemies that enter their area of effect.

Stalker

The Stalker is a Marksman class that has two passive abilities. Enemies beyond a certain distance will not hear her shots or see any sound markers. Also, enemies marked by the Stalker do not receive any notification, as long as no other players mark them. These abilities allow the Stalker to quietly follow her prey from long-range before silently taking them out.

Guerrilla

The Guerrilla is a Support class with a drone that can shoot smoke grenades. All players inside of the smoke radius are occluded, meaning they become unmarked if they were marked, and additionally, drones, aiming or binoculars cannot mark them. The smoke can have many tactical uses, from creating a safe cover to reviving downed teammates and to temporarily blinding an enemy sniper.

MAPS

New Maps

We have added two new maps, Refinery and Cliffside, to the Extraction game mode. Both of these maps are now available in Quickplay, Ranked, and Custom Matches.

Map Voting

We have introduced a new feature that allows players to vote for one of three possible maps, each from a different game mode, at the start of every new match. The voting process only takes 15 seconds, and players can see details for each map, including game mode, time of day and weather settings. Map voting is available for both Quickplay and Ranked.


CLASSES

• Tech: The Tech's jammer will not appear on the HUD for the enemy team anymore, as this was giving away the Tech's position. Now the Tech can safely place a jammer without being exposed.
  
• Mine Defusing: We have introduced the ability for players to defuse enemy mines. By approaching the mine while prone, the mine's detonation range is reduced, allowing you to safely get closer to the mine until the "defuse" prompt appears. Defusing a mine will remove it without alerting its owner.

MAPS

• Ruins Map: We have reworked the Ruins map to improve its balance. The playable area has been expanded, we added more cover for crossing certain key locations and we relocated most objects on the map, including the spawn locations.
  
• Institute Map: We changed the Attackers spawn position to add more variety to the map, and moved the hostage cages closer to each other so the Defenders team can move faster from one hostage to the other.

ADDITIONAL

• Penalties: Penalty timeouts have been reduced, as they were too long and severely punished players who were experiencing connection issues.
  
• Prestige Credits: There was a big discrepancy between players with high Prestige level and players with low Prestige level, concerning the amount of Prestige Credits they earned per level-up. To address this, we now award a flat value of 215 Prestige Credits, no matter the Prestige level (the total sum remains the same). We also gave players the extra amount of Prestige Credits they should have earned with this new system in place, so that everyone now has the correct amount.
  
• New Tutorial Info: Our tutorials have been updated to include changes to existing features and the introduction of our new classes. Knowledge is power, so make sure you read them!

Please note, these weapons will be unlocked for free for players with the Fallen Ghosts DLC. Alternatively, these weapons are purchasable via our in-game store.

Battle Crate Icons: Battle Crate Icons, such as our Rainbow Six Siege Icons, can now be collected via our Ghost War and Spec Ops Crates. This means you can now customize your Ghost with Battle Crate Icons in both Ghost War and Campaign modes. Additionally, any Icons collected via Ghost War Crates before this update, are available for customization in our Campaign mode too. More information on our Battle Crates can be found here.

BUGS FIXED

ALL Platforms:

• Fixed some display issues with the Fallen Ghosts weapons in the Campaign Loadout.

To keep track of your stats and find other Ghosts to join your taskforce, log in to the Ghost Recon Network and download the Ghost Recon HQ App.

Coming January 25th, Extended Ops is bringing a new Extraction Mode for Ghost War and some convenience improvements to the campaign mode. The update will be available on PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One. The size of the patch will be 8 GB on Steam, 14 GB on Uplay and up to 13.5 GB on consoles depending on your version. Please remember that you’ll need to restart and update your platform if you wish to play online.

In addition to the new Extraction mode, we are also glad to bring colorblind options to both the campaign mode and Ghost War. We have been in touch with several colorblind community members in order to add visual options that address all kinds of colorblindness. Should you have any feedback to share with us on this topic, please don’t hesitate to share them on the official forums.

Also, great news for PvE players: Fallen Ghost weapons are now available in the campaign mode, to the condition that you have installed Fallen Ghost on your version.

Extended Ops is also introducing Battle Crates that are designed to offer you an additional and accessible way to complete your cosmetic customization experience, for both the Campaign and Ghost War modes. For more information about the Battle Crates, please read the dedicated FAQ.


Extraction Mode

In Extraction, teams take turns in defending or attacking a compound to extract a hostage to safety. Two hostages are located on the map, but only one of them needs to be extracted to win the game. If you are in the defending team, you role will be to prevent the opposite team from grabbing the hostage located inside your safe zone. The attacking team has to localize the hostage, grab them and escort them to their own safe zone, without being killed by the defending team.

Watch the trailer below for more information:

https://youtu.be/JZjbmXz_-ug

New maps

Extraction can be played on two maps for now, with more maps to come in the next update. Those two maps are available for both Quickplay and Ranked.

Institute

Garage


Classes

• Sentinel & Pathfinder: Fixed an issue where the Sentinel and Pathfinder firing shot sound was not heard by teammates and enemies.
  
• Artillery: Fixed an issue where by launching a mortar strike, the player’s position would be revealed on the tacmap.
  
• Predator: We have removed the Predator's Assault-specific HP bonus and reduced the HP gain when activating Adrenaline Rush. The Predator will now be more vulnerable, while still remaining extremely lethal and versatile.
  
• Medic: The Medic's drone will now be marked for the enemy 1 second after being launched, instead of the 6 seconds that the other drones get. This will give enemy teams more time to react to a Medic's revive attempt and try to counter it.

Maps

• Warehouse: We fixed an exploit which allowed players to rush to the top of the building and gain an unfair advantage on the enemy team.
  
• Jungle base: We blocked off the upper area of the main building to avoid camping and negative gameplay experiences.
  
• Urban Incursion: We've moved the Uplink location in order to focus the gameplay in a more open area.
  
• Fixed several map level design issues.

Ranked

Please have a look at our Ranked Mode FAQ for more information about the Ranked mode. All Ranked changes will be applied at the start of the second season, start of February.

• Player Rating: The Matchmaking Rating (MMR) is now calculated at the end of a match, instead of the end of a round. This way we avoid frustrating situations where players would win the match, but decrease in rank because they have lost one or two rounds against a lower rated team. This also means that the placement rounds will be removed and replaced by placement matches.
  
• Matchmaking: Because we now take into account full match outcomes when calculating ratings, players will not be able to join ongoing matches anymore, because it would be unfair to join a match where the enemy team is already leading. Also, when completing a Ranked match, players will not be dropped to the Menus anymore. Instead, they will keep being engaged in the matchmaking process in order to let them play consecutive matches without having to restart matchmaking each time they finish a match.
  
• Penalties: Leaving penalties are now more severe in Ranked Mode, in order to discourage and punish players from leaving an ongoing match as this will have a much bigger impact on the game. Quickplay penalties have not been changed.
  
• Fixed an issue where an incorrect warning message was displayed on the Ranked button for the case where the next strike would grant a penalty.

Prestige

• Fixed an issue where the Prestige points were not displayed on the end screen results page, when ranking up.

Custom games

• Fixed an issue where, in Custom Match sessions with players in only one team, would end right after player’s spawn.

Uplink

• Fixed an issue where a wrong sound bark was played if the round was won by eliminating the enemy team in Uplink game mode.

User Interface

• A compass has been added at the top of the in-match HUD screen so players can use it either for callouts or to better navigate the map.
  
• Added Colorblind mode

PC

• Fixed an issue where the Scope category items would remain set if they were highlighted with the mouse and not selected.

Store:

*Added Ghost War Crates. For more information, please read our FAQ.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed an issue where the Player could holster the weapon by canceling the capture of recon tower or Uplink, right before it begins.
  
• Fixed an issue where you could see the drone’s rotor blades while spectating a player.
  
• Fixed an issue related to character collision and throw-able items on some body parts.
  
• Fixed an issue where downed players that were inside a mine radius could not be revived after the mine has exploded.
  
• Fixed an issue where a mine could be triggered by the player if the mine was placed above ground, on an object, and the player would step on the ground next to the mine.
  
• Fixed several HUD display issues.
  
• Fixed several text issues.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Uplay Rewards popups were displayed each time you enter Ghost War (the issue only impacted some accounts).

Weapons

• Fallen Ghost weapons are now available in the main game after installing the DLC
  
• Fixed a recoil bug on the R4 and MDR weapons.

User Interface

• Added Colorblind mode.
  
• Fixed a bug on Helicopter Controls HUD elements.

Store

• Added Spec Ops Crates. For more information, please read our FAQ.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug when the explosion didn’t go off after killing the Predator for some players.

• Added the list of all the items available in Battle Crates, so that players can assess which items they do not have yet.

• Added Tacmap support for the Extraction mode in Ghost War.
