@Splicer : From the map screen, you can use shift to select the time of day (cycles thru 0630, 1200, 1930, or 2300), then press R to redeploy at that time.
Two extra ones for you 1. The AI cannot hear a rifle fired when it's more than 200m away, so you can remove the suppressor and get that extra damage and bullet speed 2. Even with a suppressor the Ai will hear a large calibre sniper fired at close range, so use an Assault rifle, SMG or pistol.
darson100, I'll have a look a this. That's good to know for how close you can get to the enemy. I might have to put up another video about the extra things mentioned.
Darson100, I used this comment in the follow on video to this one '5 MORE Hidden features' (Original title I know) and tested this theory, I found that with an unsuppressed HTI the enemy noticed the sound in between 120-130 meters.

Here's 5 other absolutely useless pieces of information. 1 when you swap your firearms you will notice the trees dont look any taller. 2 when you exit a vehicle at night (not many people know this) you will no longer be in the vehicle and theirs no sunlight either. 3 at the airport mission notice theirs no rivers in side the buildings. 4 if you snipe with your telescopic rifle while wearing hiking boots the round takes no time difference to reach its target. 5 best for last: when it rains during missions you will notice the cartel factions have no umbrellas or waterproof clothing.
The suppressor slowing the bullet is hilarious, considering it's essentially an extension to the barrel. In reality, a suppressor wouldn't have a noticeable effect on a shot.
@@carterskindle7086 yes just found this one out yesterday while watching a video from some ex navy seals or something watching weapons in games, they found it strange that a can on the weapon actually degrades it in the game while In actuality it makes it better in real life like you said it add more velocity
it's also very odd that it slows down the bullet, but the ranging on the bullet stays the same. watch closely. The time of the bullet to fly to the target gets doubled, but you don't have to aim higher for it. At least you don't have to adjust aim I guess..
yes a silencer or a suppressor almost has no effect on ballistics it just takes a few decibels away! but my head cannon is that your squad changes their ammo to subsonic or under pressure ammunition when they have silencers attached, because it's the combination of the two that makes your weapon quiet. Doesn't really make sense, since most rifles don't have subsonic options but since they're black spec ops, i guess you could speculate they get experimental sneaky breaki gear no one knows about.
A suppressor without subsonic ammo still gives you a big advantage, though. Your target will hear the supersonic crack of the bullet, but won't hear the bang from shooting your gun at a distance. So it's much harder to determine where the shots are fired from.
I'm pretty sure everyone has figured out that the vehicles have different speeds. If it's moving slow at first, just double tap the accelerator and then hold down to get it moving full speed.
While playing in the Tier mode I have found it necessary to have wheels close by or be annihilated. Using the drone while in a vehicle, on the passenger side, Is most helpful in taking out convoys, escaping hostile vehicles and taking out hostile troops. The benefit is obvious in that you can leave the location if needed ASAP and it reduces the chance of being taken out by a lucky shot from the enemy. I cannot emphasis enough how important it is to stay mobile or have wheel close by in the Tier mode. Using a helo is surely a fast way to get to places, but, too often it is more susceptible to being shot down either by SAM's or enemy troops. Good luck to all!
2:35 #3 That's been somewhat addressed in newest update. Utilizing the time when you fast travel is now an option--4 times are available to choose. (Bottom left on Tac Map screen.)
I'm 67 years old and have been playing Wildlands for several years and love it. (It's actually the only game I'm playing right now several times a week). I only play Open World Games and as far as I'm concerned, this game is the best one of them all, and I've pretty much played them all. My second favorite Open World Game is Skyrim, third GTA5. I have already preordered "Starfield", just waiting for its release in 12 days. I also can't wait for GTA6 and Elder Scrolls 6 to be released. I just hope they come out before I die. All that being said, I will continue to play Wildlands forever. I love this game so much. It's a dream of mine that Ubisoft would remaster Wildlands for the new consoles and add a Zombie DLC to it. Wildlands is the perfect game to add Zombies to.
I'm 58 and just started playing Wildlands. After playing a lot of First person shooter games like Call of duty ( all of them) its awesome. Like Far Cry series it's endless the fun you can have. Wildlands is I've heard is the best out of all of them. 😊
@ianparrish6543 In my opinion, it is. Once you beat the game, do the Tier Mode, it's a blast. What I love about the game is that the map is massive and you can go do whatever you want to do. The scenarios are endless. I'll be playing it all this afternoon and probably into the evening.
2 things: with the time thing you can also bring up the map and it will show you time in game and the other thing I've noticed if you shoot out a generator it won't disable drone jammers however if you disable it manually or emp it via drone it will Edit: I've just remembered as well the alarm towers if you shoot out the power box near the top it will stop helicopters coming and when you've disable the last one one of your squadmates will give you an audio cue that reinforcements won't be coming by air and another thing you can do is shoot someone in front of a bother person from one side of a camp which will make most dudes run your way to investigate you can then circle the camp and get in while they are distaracted
The infra-red vision is also good for very low light levels to see what you otherwise cannot. Specifically in BASE Jumps from the tall mountain in the lower left of the map, sometimes, it is near white out conditions. Using Infra-Red allows a blue vision that sees "through" the haze for planning a jump. Excellent tool for the Drone Jammer, and I never thought of that - thanks!
My top 5 tips to improve skill. 1.) When using an assault rifle and engaging opponents at 100+ meters, you do not need to go into first person as long as you burst fire your weapon slowly to mini gate recoil and in game spread. 2.) The Desert Tech HTI BDC seems to have explosive rounds, but they are only active if you have Tier mode on. When not in tier mode, about 45 rounds or less from an M4A1 can down all choppers if you have your destructive skills at max. 3.) When using helicopters with rocket pods, keep in mind that the Little Bird one’s fire a volley of 8 rockets, but they do not lock onto targets like it’s other counterparts. 4.) The fastest you can move while in ADS (Aimed Down Sights) is When you have an opponent grabbed and you’re using him as a body shield, and said guy can take about 40 rounds before being killed. 5.) The fastest killing guns in the game per class are the P12 for Pistols, Saiga 12k for Shotguns, Vector 45 for SMG, Mk249 for LMG, any 338 caliber or above sniper rifle, and M4A1 for Assault Rifles.
The desert tech sniper rifle does not have HE bullets, it "just" has that much basedamage to start with that most any vehicle blows up, added of course with your vhc damage in your skills tree to max out what you can deal. Also it works fine without Tier Mode on, at least for me. As this is a reply to a post made months ago im either sure you already figured this out, and if you haven't well then here you go.
Phillip Gratton using a drone's EMP on a generator is actually pretty dangerous, since it will blow up some explosive objects around it, alerting the enemy.
The key weapon is the HTI Desert sniper rifle, with that you can take down anything, including jammers, helis and armored vehicles. With suppressor. The next most important is the medic drone so you can revive the team from a distance. It also useful to stop vehicles with the EMP and kill commanders with the explosive.
Don't shoot out power generators at night. It will spook the enemy's and make them wander about. It will spook them more in the night because they will be more alert. Only do this during the day.
erm, not quite, with the sarcasm. Yeah it's useless in the daytime to kill the generator's, I mean all it does is open all the entrance gates and stop the sirens working and disables all the anti-air turrets and all the drone jammers. You are right man, totally pointless. ;~)
You should add the fact that you have ALL your unlocked weapons with you at ALL times. If you run out of ammo for one gun, simply go in to your gear and switch it for a different one. You will now have full ammo! The old gun will not get more ammo unless you restock. This way you can stay in the field longer, without having to resupply as much. I think that this is bull crap, that needs to be patched out ASAP. You should only have access to all your weapons from the weapon boxes at the resistance travel points and you should only get ammo from the ammo boxes you find around the map and in bases. This way, if you want to switch out your weapon load-out, you need to go to the safe houses and do it. But i do not think this will ever happen but one can dream.
TENGILL, Ha! I didn't even think of this. I simply go running for an ammo box once I've run out of ammo. I'll do this from now on. But you are right, that is stupid. Plus it even gives you an option at the ammo boxes to change your loadout. It would make sense to limit you to changing your weapons there. Good point!
That only works when changing weapon types, eg: if you run out of assault rifle ammo and change to another assault rifle you will still have none, but change to shotgun or smg and you will have some
"...it doesn't replinish my ammo....", it's not that any of us are getting ammo replinished, it's more that it has yet to have been used up; so basically it's just still available for use. I agree tho, its not cool nor that you can constantly change out weapons. Is there another shooter game, that does that? I can't remember any. Maybe someone else knows of 1
That’s the only thing they got off in this game as far as realism goes. Suppressors actually increase velocity. Great game and thanks for the helpful video
Ohh man i've completely missed the ingame time on the binoculars and drone!!! And i've actually been really annoyed that there "wasn't" a clock or watch ingame - Stupid me ;) So thanks for showing it man, much appreciated :)
Absolutely love this games but a few minor details I wish they had included... 1.) the should a be a run and slide behind cover option 2.) knife takedowns in campaign ( yes dlc has knives) 3.) should be an option to fold/extend butstock anytime you want, personally i thinks it would be way better having a folded stock while rifle is on my back then when I use it, extend if i want! 4.) I want an extend stock on the m4 rifle and laser equipped the sniper m40a5 5.) tired buy cosmetics with real money and having to find certain items in the crates only... put everything in the store to buy at once and put shit on sale!!! 6,) lastly wish the game wouldn’t restart if you go far out of bounds Bonus wish they would update the guns on the helicopter so they actually work right and wish the AI could drive vehicles
The perk removes the damage penalty completely. Except because it doesn't remove the penetration penalty, the bullet doesn't "hit as many surfaces" so thats why the damage is less
I'm more referring to the fact that it explodes and alerts the guards. They might not detect you, but it will trigger hunted when within a certain radius. Even if you're out of range of the "Hunted" to trigger, the enemies will still be antsy and sporadic in nature
from what I have tested they do get alerted to that and go to check out the spot of the explosion but after a few seconds. around 10-15 seconds they resume their normal routines. Thats what I was able to test at least. could be wrong. But I havent gone into hunted mode from shooting it before.
I would like to add, if you send the squad to a location they will automatically mar surrounding enemies... that is very helpful approaching buildings, you send them next to a building and they will mark the enemies inside.
I love sniping in wild lands. It’s so fun and it actually makes me feel nervous about the shot. I can take some really long shots, but taking shots while the target is moving is pretty hard, but I’m practicing on that.
1. if you ride in a enemy APC, you can drive right into a enemy base and no one can see your face so they never become aware. 2. when you drive by enemies and you have your weapons out, they will spot you but (on PS4) while riding in a car (online) hold ∆ to put your weapon away, when you drive enemies they will ignore you unless you do something odd like crash. Also, if you use a enemy car they can see into and drive by slowly they will spot you. why the APC works best for complete stealth.
I've played the shit out of this game and never knew that our vest changes automatically, depending on primary weapon held. Attention to detail. It's little things like that, is why I really love this game!
If all squad members holster their weapons while in a car, enemy detection will reduce to practically nothing. In most cases you are able to slowly drive straight through an enemy base without being noticed in any car
Can't believe my son and I have been playing this since release and I noticed NONE of these things. The thermal vision we used in caves but to spot drone jammers ? That would've been so much easier when playing on extreme. Great video!!!
Unless your going CQB w/ a sniper rifle w/ the MK14, SRSA-1, & possibly the G28 w/ the red dot scope, it's completely unnecessary for a suppressor. Put on the stock barrel or compensator for increased accuracy, range, control, & damage.
I think he mentionned all the types would change, but I think it's only on certain vest the ammo changes, not on all but I could be wrong (didn't tested all the way thru).
Just discovered this game at the end of 2022 and I've had trouble playing anything else and I'm only halfway through RDR2. Just died during my first ghost mode run through and had no idea the thermal vision would point out generators so obviously. Really good trick to know. I usually clear out the handful of guards around it, toss c4 on it, then if I get discovered I can blow the c4 so it goes dark and the AI runs towards the blast. The rebel distraction function is crazy helpful too.
Heres one important features some players may missed. You can also press alt to swap shoulder view. It works well if you aren't sticking to a wall for stealth view options. I hope I help.
That bullet velocity thing makes a lot of sense. To maximize the effect of a suppressor it's usual practice to use subsonic rounds. This feature does make the game slightly more realistic, if only they would allow you to choose the rounds you're firing. But still it's fun.
Note* If you can't find the Generator and only spot the jammer and can't use your drone to scan the base. what I simplify do is use the HT1 and shoot at the jammer. sure it blows up but SB or UD will be on suspicious but forget it after a short time. Now the jammers out you can simply use the drone and scan enemies and find that geny!
The alarm towers have boxes on them, positioned near the top. The even have a object interact glow. Shoot them and based on the tool tips as no alarm, no helicopters will come if you get caught. Best this is no one gets alerts as they do with shooting generators or jammers.
Long range sniping. Took a shot and the guy is in the open and others are about to find a body. Simply scope at a far mountain behind you, the body will despawn. Great for them dont be caught missions. I have quite a few tips and trick I figured, really should make a vid or something.
The secondary weapon changes the vest too. For instance, if you have an assault rifle primary and a sniper secondary, the mag pouches will be for the assault rifle, but there will be sniper rounds somewhere, same with the shotgun.
Suppressor slowing down bullet, lowering damage and (sometimes) range is just complete gaming bullshit... Don't know why developers still use that in games...
They do that for game balance, to have a trade-off. You'd put a silencer on every gun all the time if it only gave you benefits with no downside. Good games give you hard choices (not that this case is a hard choice).
David Harkness a real difficult choice would be realistic advantages instead of pandering to a bunch of pussies who don't even understand the concept of an ambush and instead run around like a bunch of fuckin solo heroes.
It's mostly for game balance, but there is a hint of realism in it. A lot of times when suppressors are used, subsonic rounds are used in conjunction to reduce the sound even more. And that actually does decrease bullet velocity
You're correct, suppressors doesn't slow down the rounds, its the ammo that you are using that will determine the speed of the round. If standard issue ammo is being used then it will travel at the same speed regardless if a suppressor is attached or not... but using those rounds you will still hear that distinctive crack of the round traveling down range. However, if you are using sub-sonic ammo then the round will be traveling slower (it wont really be that noticeable though) and you wont hear that crack that a standard issue round would have.
Being able to just shoot the generators out from distance is a game changer when it helps disable those damn drone jammers👌🏼💯 Much appreciated, that alone has made my whole game slightly easier👍🏻
Thats so cool! I just picked this Game up in a massive sale and played already over 20h and did not knew any of this stuff. I mean i recognized that sometimes my vests are suddenly different but i had no clue it is because of my main weapon Thanks for this cool Video! Love the pacing too, it is a nice lenght, not too short and not too long
Equipping an lmg also gives you a visible ammo box and med kit, but these are only visible on the Molle Harness and the IBA Vests, otherwise it just looks like you're equipped with an assault rifle.
Very useful information about the power generators. I'm not far into the game and I didn't think a bullet would take it out. For some reason, it didn't even occur to me to try shooting at it!
It does, plus it allows armored gates to be opened. If the alarm has already been raised and then you deactivate it, reinforcements are already on the way!
sidewinder32 - yes and no. There are several factors at play, and the quietest setup will always be subsonic AND suppressed - Barrel length being the biggest factor. Even subsonic rounds in a 5" pistol will make a LOT more noise than you expect when fired without a suppressor. Vice versa with supersonics where the distance from suppressor muzzle will dictate total report. Within about 1 Meter, it's minimal.
All these years I had the game and never realized the vest changed with the weapon type you select. Great game! I hope the new GR will go back to wildlands type gameplay 👍🏾
For those who still play this game today, if you equip the IBA vest and have an LMG as your primary weapon the vest will have Medic gear showing, ideal for those roleplaying as the medic of the group
if you are shooting at a range of over 150 meters, you can remove the suppressor on both your assault rifle and your sniper rifle, which improves the amount of damage it does as well, as he said, improving velocity. You can use the BGT 50A, the MSR and the HTI to one shot vehicles, particularly helicopters. Before getting one of those high powered rifles, I used the grenade launcher which doesn't have the range and is easier to miss the target.
There is probably a lot of you that knows this but when doing the side missions where you gotta blow up one of the doors to hack the computer. I been using recon from rebels and sync shooting the enemies inside. You might get three shots every time you do this or sometimes you might get one shot at a time. It makes it easier to complete them. Just thought I would throw this out there to you all. But there is a couple of things I wish would change. #1 You should be able to shoot through walls.#2 Helicopters,planes should have flares for on missiles fired from ground and last thing RPGs would be amazing in this game.
another tip, if you are seeking a 5000 resource convey of a specific type and you see the wrong type driving in another region, fast travel to that region and the truck will still be there but change to another resource.
Ohh man, then wait for the mission in FALLEN GHOSTS(DLC) in which you have to kill the boss wearing optical camooflauge of the eastern province I guess.
Adding on to the time of day, the time you skip while fast travelling is 2/3 of the kilometres you travel. So if you want to wait 10 hours for nightfall for example, just travel about 8km away, then travel back to the nearest point for a 15km trip (10x3=30, 30/2=15)
Fun Fact: suppressors don't decrease bullet velocity. They actually increase it a little plus a good suppressor triples as a muzzle brake and flash hider. Also, they only decrease the sound by around 30dB which is pretty shit.
Thanks lad they were helpful tips as I've not long been playing the game the heat vision to find the drone jammer will help a lot and the sniper suppressor tip was good thanks 👍🏻
A feature that I think would have added to this game immensely would be allowing you to fail missions and carry on. Eg. Your target escapes or is killed, leaving you to adapt without the intel you would normally get. Obviously you have the option to restart the mission if you wish, but I think allowing you to continue adds another element. Also, how do the SAM launchers Automatic know you're not a friendly when you're just flying?
In addition to SAMs & jammers, night vision also hilites ammo boxes, the power boxes on alarms, and gas/med/comm/food caches. Basically anything that gets that sheen on it, the sheen shows to thermal.
Ghost recon wildlands got the fact that suppressor's reduce the velocity of the projectile when it should actually increase the velocity of the projectile because it only captures the gases from firing and doesn't come in to contact with the projectile so in affect it acts like a barrel extension
Didn't even cover actual useful things like being able to call mortars or spotters while using your drone .. That was a major help for me considering i want to stealth everything.
I think this video predates the patch that now allows you to customize your AI team mates .... but I found you can customize their vests like tip #1. You have to equip your primary weapon then switch over to whoever you want al they’ll get that ammo pouch that corresponds. ex. I put on my m40 sniper and switch to Weaver (also a sniper) and his vest will have the sniper rounds. I then switch to an assault primary and then go to edit Holt (has AR primary), he now has assault rifle ammo on his vest. Finally switch to a sub machine gun and edit Midas (has sub primary) and he’s now got sub machine gun ammo vest. Then I equip which ever weapon I want for my vest and now all members of your team have the correct ammo vest to match their primaries :) Just remember what primary you have equipped will change the vest look for any AI team mate that you scroll over while on the customization menu.
If you press the camera shoulder button (rb) while you are behind cover you will change which side of cover you are facing. If you also tap the rb when you have holstered your weapons you will activate a zoomed out camera to enjoy the wilderness!

This game needs to let us drag dead bodies
True, Your stealth approach goes out the window when you leave a trail of dead bodies for the enemy to find.
Splicer kill them quickly but quietly and no need to worry :)

The suppressor slowing the bullet is hilarious, considering it's essentially an extension to the barrel. In reality, a suppressor wouldn't have a noticeable effect on a shot.
I mean...since the barrel gets extended it could hypothetically slow down due to extra friction. But I'm pretty sure that's not how it works

I have already preordered "Starfield", just waiting for its release in 12 days. I also can't wait for GTA6 and Elder Scrolls 6 to be released. I just hope they come out before I die. All that being said, I will continue to play Wildlands forever. I love this game so much. It's a dream of mine that Ubisoft would remaster Wildlands for the new consoles and add a Zombie DLC to it. Wildlands is the perfect game to add Zombies to.
I'm 58 and just started playing Wildlands. After playing a lot of First person shooter games like Call of duty ( all of them) its awesome. Like Far Cry series it's endless the fun you can have. Wildlands is I've heard is the best out of all of them. 😊
@ianparrish6543 In my opinion, it is. Once you beat the game, do the Tier Mode, it's a blast. What I love about the game is that the map is massive and you can go do whatever you want to do. The scenarios are endless. I'll be playing it all this afternoon and probably into the evening.
2 things: with the time thing you can also bring up the map and it will show you time in game and the other thing I've noticed if you shoot out a generator it won't disable drone jammers however if you disable it manually or emp it via drone it will
Edit: I've just remembered as well the alarm towers if you shoot out the power box near the top it will stop helicopters coming and when you've disable the last one one of your squadmates will give you an audio cue that reinforcements won't be coming by air and another thing you can do is shoot someone in front of a bother person from one side of a camp which will make most dudes run your way to investigate you can then circle the camp and get in while they are distaracted
1: thats obvious
2: useful
3: literally a feature
4: useful, though you can use the decoy grenades or whatever the blue fat grenades are called
Splicer....another one is if in a chopper, when deploying your drone, don't run into the blades. it will destroy them.
Interesting, I didn't know that was even an option. I'll have to check it out!
This still happens after patch 2.0, so no it has not been patched out.
Its supposed to be in game
you can use this to stealth-eliminate enemy helicopters
Alexander Ivanov no, you have to be riding in it.
The infra-red vision is also good for very low light levels to see what you otherwise cannot. Specifically in BASE Jumps from the tall mountain in the lower left of the map, sometimes, it is near white out conditions. Using Infra-Red allows a blue vision that sees "through" the haze for planning a jump.
Excellent tool for the Drone Jammer, and I never thought of that - thanks!
My top 5 tips to improve skill.
1.) When using an assault rifle and engaging opponents at 100+ meters, you do not need to go into first person as long as you burst fire your weapon slowly to mini gate recoil and in game spread.
2.) The Desert Tech HTI BDC seems to have explosive rounds, but they are only active if you have Tier mode on. When not in tier mode, about 45 rounds or less from an M4A1 can down all choppers if you have your destructive skills at max.
3.) When using helicopters with rocket pods, keep in mind that the Little Bird one’s fire a volley of 8 rockets, but they do not lock onto targets like it’s other counterparts.
4.) The fastest you can move while in ADS (Aimed Down Sights) is When you have an opponent grabbed and you’re using him as a body shield, and said guy can take about 40 rounds before being killed.
5.) The fastest killing guns in the game per class are the P12 for Pistols, Saiga 12k for Shotguns, Vector 45 for SMG, Mk249 for LMG, any 338 caliber or above sniper rifle, and M4A1 for Assault Rifles.
aye
The desert tech sniper rifle does not have HE bullets, it "just" has that much basedamage to start with that most any vehicle blows up, added of course with your vhc damage in your skills tree to max out what you can deal. Also it works fine without Tier Mode on, at least for me. As this is a reply to a post made months ago im either sure you already figured this out, and if you haven't well then here you go.
I like to use the emp from my drone to take out the jenys lol
Good point, they're also good for stopping convoys.
Phillip Gratton only works when there isn't a jammer.
SoloBlaze no shit..
Phillip Gratton same
Phillip Gratton using a drone's EMP on a generator is actually pretty dangerous, since it will blow up some explosive objects around it, alerting the enemy.
Only thing I hate about the game, is If you play single player, your squad can't drive, which I don't like as I have to be the only one driving.
The key weapon is the HTI Desert sniper rifle, with that you can take down anything, including jammers, helis and armored vehicles. With suppressor. The next most important is the medic drone so you can revive the team from a distance. It also useful to stop vehicles with the EMP and kill commanders with the explosive.
i know i'm late.. but do you remember where i can find that sniper?
@@DPSita1507 Automatic once you reach a certain level.
@@FighterFred Thanks
Don't shoot out power generators at night. It will spook the enemy's and make them wander about. It will spook them more in the night because they will be more alert. Only do this during the day.
erm, not quite, with the sarcasm. Yeah it's useless in the daytime to kill the generator's, I mean all it does is open all the entrance gates and stop the sirens working and disables all the anti-air turrets and all the drone jammers. You are right man, totally pointless. ;~)
and then you can wait for nightfall to infiltrate
@@Brodrick32 you do that and then you realize it's 6am and you think fuuuuuck
You should add the fact that you have ALL your unlocked weapons with you at ALL times.
If you run out of ammo for one gun, simply go in to your gear and switch it for a different one.
You will now have full ammo!
The old gun will not get more ammo unless you restock.
This way you can stay in the field longer, without having to resupply as much.
I think that this is bull crap, that needs to be patched out ASAP.
You should only have access to all your weapons from the weapon boxes at the resistance travel points and you should only get ammo from the ammo boxes you find around the map and in bases.
This way, if you want to switch out your weapon load-out, you need to go to the safe houses and do it.
But i do not think this will ever happen but one can dream.
TENGILL, Ha! I didn't even think of this. I simply go running for an ammo box once I've run out of ammo. I'll do this from now on. But you are right, that is stupid. Plus it even gives you an option at the ammo boxes to change your loadout. It would make sense to limit you to changing your weapons there. Good point!
you can pick up ammo off dead bodys too
That only works when changing weapon types, eg: if you run out of assault rifle ammo and change to another assault rifle you will still have none, but change to shotgun or smg and you will have some
For me it doesn't replenish the ammo so I am good :)
"...it doesn't replinish my ammo....", it's not that any of us are getting ammo replinished, it's more that it has yet to have been used up; so basically it's just still available for use. I agree tho, its not cool nor that you can constantly change out weapons. Is there another shooter game, that does that? I can't remember any. Maybe someone else knows of 1
That’s the only thing they got off in this game as far as realism goes. Suppressors actually increase velocity. Great game and thanks for the helpful video
Ohh man i've completely missed the ingame time on the binoculars and drone!!!
And i've actually been really annoyed that there "wasn't" a clock or watch ingame - Stupid me ;)
So thanks for showing it man, much appreciated :)
Glad to help!
Kim Lee Danielsen same. I feel like such a inadequate gamer. I'm selling my PS4
huh? :/
I used to look in the maps for time
Yeah, I'm with notobiwan, I thought the large clock on the upper left of the map screen was the only clock, good eyes! :)
only thing that i have missed is time on binos and drone,thanks a lot man!
Eroktic hey! You're the awesome, tell it how it is, EFT guy! Nice to see we enjoy the same kind of games.
also on the inventory/menu screen it shows the time
Absolutely love this games but a few minor details I wish they had included...
1.) the should a be a run and slide behind cover option
2.) knife takedowns in campaign ( yes dlc has knives)
3.) should be an option to fold/extend butstock anytime you want, personally i thinks it would be way better having a folded stock while rifle is on my back then when I use it, extend if i want!
4.) I want an extend stock on the m4 rifle and laser equipped the sniper m40a5
5.) tired buy cosmetics with real money and having to find certain items in the crates only... put everything in the store to buy at once and put shit on sale!!!
6,) lastly wish the game wouldn’t restart if you go far out of bounds
Bonus wish they would update the guns on the helicopter so they actually work right and wish the AI could drive vehicles
I accept
The caveira gloves gives you a knife takedown as an animation
@@Eddie_Glorpo online or offline?

High powered rifles also work on the jammers. or at least the HTI unsurpressed does
The perk removes the damage penalty completely. Except because it doesn't remove the penetration penalty, the bullet doesn't "hit as many surfaces" so thats why the damage is less
Doesn't the HTI just blow up the thing, which sort of defeats the purpose of stealth?
if your outside the radius of detection for an unsuppressed sniper rifle you stay in stealth mode. so when possible its advantageous to use.
I'm more referring to the fact that it explodes and alerts the guards. They might not detect you, but it will trigger hunted when within a certain radius. Even if you're out of range of the "Hunted" to trigger, the enemies will still be antsy and sporadic in nature
from what I have tested they do get alerted to that and go to check out the spot of the explosion but after a few seconds. around 10-15 seconds they resume their normal routines. Thats what I was able to test at least. could be wrong. But I havent gone into hunted mode from shooting it before.
I would like to add, if you send the squad to a location they will automatically mar surrounding enemies... that is very helpful approaching buildings, you send them next to a building and they will mark the enemies inside.
I love sniping in wild lands. It’s so fun and it actually makes me feel nervous about the shot. I can take some really long shots, but taking shots while the target is moving is pretty hard, but I’m practicing on that.
The vest also changes if your primary has a grenade launcher :)
1. if you ride in a enemy APC, you can drive right into a enemy base and no one can see your face so they never become aware. 2. when you drive by enemies and you have your weapons out, they will spot you but (on PS4) while riding in a car (online) hold ∆ to put your weapon away, when you drive enemies they will ignore you unless you do something odd like crash. Also, if you use a enemy car they can see into and drive by slowly they will spot you. why the APC works best for complete stealth.
these are more like tips I wouldn't call them hidden features
hidden feature
is
HOW TO MAKE UR TEAM DRIVE
now that`s something i would love to know how to do
I've played the shit out of this game
and never knew that our vest changes automatically, depending on primary weapon held.
Attention to detail.
It's little things like that, is why I really love this game!
If all squad members holster their weapons while in a car, enemy detection will reduce to practically nothing. In most cases you are able to slowly drive straight through an enemy base without being noticed in any car
How to holster a weapon?
Press and Hold down the weapon switching key, so for Xbox it would be press and hold "Y" button.
Can't believe my son and I have been playing this since release and I noticed NONE of these things. The thermal vision we used in caves but to spot drone jammers ? That would've been so much easier when playing on extreme. Great video!!!
i have a flight at 6am, it's almost 4 am and i haven't slept
You asleep yet?
You sleeping yet
Hope you are not the pilot lol
Broc Sirois are you asleep yet?
Legend says he is still awake
All this time and I never knew that thermal trick 😂 that would've saved me legit hundreds of attempts on bases and stuff 😭
Outside the concert venue mission here is a button that says "do not press me" if you wanna know what it does. Go press it.
this game is amazing i love all these hidden features and details they put into this game
Unless your going CQB w/ a sniper rifle w/ the MK14, SRSA-1, & possibly the G28 w/ the red dot scope, it's completely unnecessary for a suppressor. Put on the stock barrel or compensator for increased accuracy, range, control, & damage.
0:32 who would never notice that
I like the 1st one, didn't know about that. Thank you.
harshlens It also changes with an LMG as the primary but this guy didn't do his research
I think he mentionned all the types would change, but I think it's only on certain vest the ammo changes, not on all but I could be wrong (didn't tested all the way thru).
harshlens there's also a lmg vest it has a box mag on it idk why no one shows it
harshlens all vests change depending on primary
I have check and not all vest get the light machine gun ammo.
Just discovered this game at the end of 2022 and I've had trouble playing anything else and I'm only halfway through RDR2. Just died during my first ghost mode run through and had no idea the thermal vision would point out generators so obviously. Really good trick to know. I usually clear out the handful of guards around it, toss c4 on it, then if I get discovered I can blow the c4 so it goes dark and the AI runs towards the blast. The rebel distraction function is crazy helpful too.
Thank you for #3! Not knowing the in-game time was really frustrating when trying to plan night missions.
it tells you the time in the inventory/menu screen too dude
Fly your drone up high to get better targeting for mortars, spotting, and diversions
Use nightvision or term when you flashbanging. It will not have any inpakt on you.
Incorrect.
@@shindrithargriethrat8408 fuck, why I tried it😂
@@shindrithargriethrat8408 I mean. He isn't wrong. I doesn't inpakt you.
Heres one important features some players may missed.
You can also press alt to swap shoulder view.
It works well if you aren't sticking to a wall for stealth view options. I hope I help.
RB on Xbox.
That bullet velocity thing makes a lot of sense. To maximize the effect of a suppressor it's usual practice to use subsonic rounds. This feature does make the game slightly more realistic, if only they would allow you to choose the rounds you're firing. But still it's fun.
I love how bro is casually doing a demonstration while a carl bookhart mission is going on
Can't you shoot the drone jammer also to disable it?
John Kon, you can, it's another option.
thanks!
Good to know! Wish I found that out sooner haha
You can't. You have to emp them or destroy them with explosives
Justin Gill apparently only the Sam launchers. I tried it, shot a drone jammer with the HT1 hand cannon. Bye-bye Jammer
Note* If you can't find the Generator and only spot the jammer and can't use your drone to scan the base. what I simplify do is use the HT1 and shoot at the jammer. sure it blows up but SB or UD will be on suspicious but forget it after a short time. Now the jammers out you can simply use the drone and scan enemies and find that geny!
The alarm towers have boxes on them, positioned near the top. The even have a object interact glow. Shoot them and based on the tool tips as no alarm, no helicopters will come if you get caught. Best this is no one gets alerts as they do with shooting generators or jammers.
Long range sniping. Took a shot and the guy is in the open and others are about to find a body. Simply scope at a far mountain behind you, the body will despawn. Great for them dont be caught missions. I have quite a few tips and trick I figured, really should make a vid or something.
Lol thats not even a hidden feature. I assume that everybody knows that, since ubi's been doing it from far cry 3.
"hidden tip" there are ammo boxes located around the map. They also have an object interactive glow. You can reload at any of these boxes.
The secondary weapon changes the vest too. For instance, if you have an assault rifle primary and a sniper secondary, the mag pouches will be for the assault rifle, but there will be sniper rounds somewhere, same with the shotgun.
Suppressor slowing down bullet, lowering damage and (sometimes) range is just complete gaming bullshit... Don't know why developers still use that in games...
True, it must be to balance the advantages a suppressor would bring to PvP, perhaps they've set it up in preparation for that.
They do that for game balance, to have a trade-off. You'd put a silencer on every gun all the time if it only gave you benefits with no downside. Good games give you hard choices (not that this case is a hard choice).
David Harkness a real difficult choice would be realistic advantages instead of pandering to a bunch of pussies who don't even understand the concept of an ambush and instead run around like a bunch of fuckin solo heroes.
It's mostly for game balance, but there is a hint of realism in it. A lot of times when suppressors are used, subsonic rounds are used in conjunction to reduce the sound even more. And that actually does decrease bullet velocity
You're correct, suppressors doesn't slow down the rounds, its the ammo that you are using that will determine the speed of the round. If standard issue ammo is being used then it will travel at the same speed regardless if a suppressor is attached or not... but using those rounds you will still hear that distinctive crack of the round traveling down range. However, if you are using sub-sonic ammo then the round will be traveling slower (it wont really be that noticeable though) and you wont hear that crack that a standard issue round would have.
Being able to just shoot the generators out from distance is a game changer when it helps disable those damn drone jammers👌🏼💯 Much appreciated, that alone has made my whole game slightly easier👍🏻
Did you just watch Core Ross...?
A few of these were given to me by a few friends of mine, maybe they got them from his videos? I'll check it out!
TACTICOOL games obviously he copied someone all of these are obvious and have already been discovered
hmmm ... Ok... shotgun shells...
Thats so cool! I just picked this Game up in a massive sale and played already over 20h and did not knew any of this stuff.
I mean i recognized that sometimes my vests are suddenly different but i had no clue it is because of my main weapon
Thanks for this cool Video! Love the pacing too, it is a nice lenght, not too short and not too long
Wish I knew this stuff a year ago.
Equipping an lmg also gives you a visible ammo box and med kit, but these are only visible on the Molle Harness and the IBA Vests, otherwise it just looks like you're equipped with an assault rifle.
good vid. I'm all about the cosmetic features. gotta look good in battle (:
Very useful information about the power generators. I'm not far into the game and I didn't think a bullet would take it out. For some reason, it didn't even occur to me to try shooting at it!
Does taking out the generator kill the Alarms too?
It does, plus it allows armored gates to be opened. If the alarm has already been raised and then you deactivate it, reinforcements are already on the way!
Splicer however you can still take out the alarms to stop more reinforcements coming
Yeh it takes out all electrical devices n obviously alarm is electrically operated
If I remember rightly.. The skill, adv suppressor, removes the damage reduction on suppressed guns. Not sure about bullet drop etc.
damit even ghost recon is doing it modern suppressors don't slow down bullets! in fact they might even give a bonus to the speed by 1 - 2%
I can only imagine they do this to give a negative effect to having a suppressed weapon, maybe in anticipation for PvP?
sidewinder32 - yes and no. There are several factors at play, and the quietest setup will always be subsonic AND suppressed - Barrel length being the biggest factor. Even subsonic rounds in a 5" pistol will make a LOT more noise than you expect when fired without a suppressor. Vice versa with supersonics where the distance from suppressor muzzle will dictate total report. Within about 1 Meter, it's minimal.
"supressors slow bullets by half"
great job with the physics ubisoft, so realistic
Now that's helpful, keep up the good work!
Thanks Curtis.
0:40 yeah because the way that your vest is looking, improves your skills.
For sure
Games get suppressors so wrong, in real life a suppressor would make the bullet travel faster
Zerosoldier balance
Another tip I would say is that if you shoot a sniper rifle without a suppressor from 150 meters or more enemies won't hear the shot.
Helpful video, man. Thanks
the shot to the power generator.... Holy crap that is money, my friend...MONEY!
...
and thank you.
makes no since considering suppressors increase velocity.
Uhhhhhh?
I don't necessarily think they add velocity but they certainly don't take away from it
Grady Mott they definitely add velocity
B a l a n c e
When you holster your weapon you can move the camera further back just by tapping the command button. (R1 on ps4)
"Wildlands is so realistic!" *bullets from a suppressed rifle travel twice as slow than unsuppressed using the same ammunition*
you forget the lmg
Oh s**t! Good point! Maybe you'll have two belts of ammunition around you like Rambo. Sorry about that, but at least you know to check it out.
My fav and also the Stoner Lmg is the only one that can have a suppressor fitted! My top Gun for me.
It’s the same for Snipers and LMG’s.
All these years I had the game and never realized the vest changed with the weapon type you select. Great game! I hope the new GR will go back to wildlands type gameplay 👍🏾
I havent seen my vest change at all. Was this removed?
For those who still play this game today, if you equip the IBA vest and have an LMG as your primary weapon the vest will have Medic gear showing, ideal for those roleplaying as the medic of the group
if you are shooting at a range of over 150 meters, you can remove the suppressor on both your assault rifle and your sniper rifle, which improves the amount of damage it does as well, as he said, improving velocity. You can use the BGT 50A, the MSR and the HTI to one shot vehicles, particularly helicopters. Before getting one of those high powered rifles, I used the grenade launcher which doesn't have the range and is easier to miss the target.
I love how it says that they will improve your skill but the first one is about how the patches change when you equip different guns.
You forgot to mention that weapons deal more damage to vehicals without a suppresor even with the perk that removes the damage penelty for using one.
There is probably a lot of you that knows this but when doing the side missions where you gotta blow up one of the doors to hack the computer. I been using recon from rebels and sync shooting the enemies inside. You might get three shots every time you do this or sometimes you might get one shot at a time. It makes it easier to complete them. Just thought I would throw this out there to you all. But there is a couple of things I wish would change. #1 You should be able to shoot through walls.#2 Helicopters,planes should have flares for on missiles fired from ground and last thing RPGs would be amazing in this game.
another tip, if you are seeking a 5000 resource convey of a specific type and you see the wrong type driving in another region, fast travel to that region and the truck will still be there but change to another resource.
I never knew what thermal vision was really used for, this whole video is invaluable.
Ohh man, then wait for the mission in FALLEN GHOSTS(DLC) in which you have to kill the boss wearing optical camooflauge of the eastern province I guess.
I've been running a suppressor the entire time haha, just thought that was how the game wanted to animate bullet speed
The secondary also changes the vest, sniper and smg gets pistol mags, assault rifle gets grenade shells, and shotgun has shells.
Adding on to the time of day, the time you skip while fast travelling is 2/3 of the kilometres you travel. So if you want to wait 10 hours for nightfall for example, just travel about 8km away, then travel back to the nearest point for a 15km trip (10x3=30, 30/2=15)
Fun Fact: suppressors don't decrease bullet velocity. They actually increase it a little plus a good suppressor triples as a muzzle brake and flash hider. Also, they only decrease the sound by around 30dB which is pretty shit.
Thanks lad they were helpful tips as I've not long been playing the game the heat vision to find the drone jammer will help a lot and the sniper suppressor tip was good thanks 👍🏻
A feature that I think would have added to this game immensely would be allowing you to fail missions and carry on. Eg. Your target escapes or is killed, leaving you to adapt without the intel you would normally get. Obviously you have the option to restart the mission if you wish, but I think allowing you to continue adds another element.
Also, how do the SAM launchers Automatic know you're not a friendly when you're just flying?
In addition to SAMs & jammers, night vision also hilites ammo boxes, the power boxes on alarms, and gas/med/comm/food caches. Basically anything that gets that sheen on it, the sheen shows to thermal.
The suppressor affects the muzzle velocity but the bullet drop stays the same.
Nice. Good tips. I didn't think to use thermal to find the jammer or sams.
Ghost recon wildlands got the fact that suppressor's reduce the velocity of the projectile when it should actually increase the velocity of the projectile because it only captures the gases from firing and doesn't come in to contact with the projectile so in affect it acts like a barrel extension
Didn't even cover actual useful things like being able to call mortars or spotters while using your drone .. That was a major help for me considering i want to stealth everything.
nothing says stealth like a mortar strike :P
I think this video predates the patch that now allows you to customize your AI team mates .... but I found you can customize their vests like tip #1. You have to equip your primary weapon then switch over to whoever you want al they’ll get that ammo pouch that corresponds.
ex. I put on my m40 sniper and switch to Weaver (also a sniper) and his vest will have the sniper rounds. I then switch to an assault primary and then go to edit Holt (has AR primary), he now has assault rifle ammo on his vest. Finally switch to a sub machine gun and edit Midas (has sub primary) and he’s now got sub machine gun ammo vest. Then I equip which ever weapon I want for my vest and now all members of your team have the correct ammo vest to match their primaries :)
Just remember what primary you have equipped will change the vest look for any AI team mate that you scroll over while on the customization menu.
If you press the camera shoulder button (rb) while you are behind cover you will change which side of cover you are facing. If you also tap the rb when you have holstered your weapons you will activate a zoomed out camera to enjoy the wilderness!
The EMP drone can open those power gates that only open for specified faction vehicles.
