I think the game in general needs a New Game Plus (replaying individual missions doesn't have the same satisfaction of seeing a board to clear). But I think it'd be cool if once you hit Tier 1 you could have a Tier 1 Plus where you can replay it on whatever difficulty WITH all the upgrades and grind to upgrade other weapons.

[@perihelion7798]

I played Tier 1 just to obtain the Desert HTI. Even without the explosive round, it is a real killing machine, as you can pop multiple targets very quickly at very long range, and do some massive damage. Or, if you are like me, and miss a lot, you have a quick backup shot.

[@Hollywood101283]

tier one should link your narco road and fallen ghosts content to the base game

[@zrgaming5865]

I agree completely, one of the biggest mistakes i believe they made with the DLC in this game is making the decision to separate it from each other.

[@madwithhats]

Hollywood101283 that's an outstanding idea. No bullshit.

[@x--WarHawk--x]

Completely agree, I made that same statement once I got the .50 cal sniper rifle from Fallen Ghosts.

[@jamesaxelson917]

Ubi REALLY messed up with that. Honestly that could be a good point for the players and Ubi, 1: Players are going to have more incentive to BUY the DLC, woot woot, more money for Ubi, and 2: Players will love having the weapons they worked for so they can use them in the main game. That would make Tier One absolutely worth it.

[@MaxZ_FX]

Maybe we have to write Ubisoft and they let us vote for it?

[@brainnumbed]

If you could modify special weapons.... as in accessories, not the base weapon it would be sweet.

[@zrgaming5865]

Yea i think that would be better, even if not all of the accessories are available give us at least a small verity of chooses and i think it is interested that Ubisoft decided to make the final reward in Tier 1 a weapon skin that cannot be applied to either of the weapons that are acquired in the same mode.

[@zrgaming5865]

I agree

[@colin5924]

I wish you could customize the LVOA-C, it would make the Bad News even better...

[@domsmit4988]

Z & R Gaming I kinda like the special weapons and how you can't customize them I feel like if they were customizable they wouldn't be special

[@clightskyson9955]

+Dom Smit yea I agree the special weapons are basically heavily modified versions of other base weapons with a special skin and stats slapped onto it, modifying special weapons would be pointless...

[@Mind_of_MATT]

I'm at Tier 19 & as of now I like that your upgraded weapons are tied to Tier one mode. It makes sense to me. You upgraded them playing in Tier1 mode & if you're going to play at lower levels then you don't really need the upgraded weapons.

[@Mind_of_MATT]

Yes. Everything will be as it was. Your upgrades remain exactly where they were. If you disable Tier 1 mode then whenever you go back & enable it everything will be exactly they way you left it.

[@Mind_of_MATT]

No problem. Enjoy the game.

[@isnoozen]

[@stephaniejacobs1267]

Thank you so much for the vid. I was on the fence about committing to that "grind" for tier one and now I know to just focus on other replayability areas instead. Much appreciated. XOXOXO

[@MrFragManiac]

Personally I don't see a need to have the explosive damage on the DT HTI BDC if you're playing with friends on lower difficulties. That said, although I hated the long grind getting to tier 1, I really enjoy playing solo on tier 1. I also find by the time you actually make it to tier 1, if you experiment a lot grinding tier points like I do to mix up the monotony, you end up finding easier ways to play the missions, so tier 1 ends up being not nearly as hard as most say. My only gripes about tier 1 are the long grind to get there ( I had to play other games to not get burned out on it), and I'd prefer once we get there we have the option of starting a new game on tier 1. The restrictions don't bother me though, other than the only way to play on Tier 1 being mission replay. Here's an example of how experimenting can help you find easier ways to beat missions. This is El Commandante, I found if you kill the target before you get close enough to the camp to trigger the scripted chaos between SB and Unidad, that faction fight never happens, and the rebels don't interfere either. It not only makes it more manageable, but more Ghost-like. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZC1iKGsrJ6gmJo

[@lanceferguson7159]

One thing for sure is make it so the enemy isn't always gunning for us. W/I a certain range nearly all enemy are shooting at us and walking/aiming passed our 3 friendlies. Sux.

[@eivorwolf-kissed6790]

I would highly recommend not playing Tier One mode when you’re lower than Tier 35 while playing campaign missions (optional if you want to, but helpful) and only play Tier One mode on side missions, because it can really stressful and extremely hard to play campaign missions while Tier One mode is on. The best idea is that when playing campaign or side missions and thinking you’re about to finish, turn on the Tier One mode so that you can level up tier XP after finishing a campaign or side mission so that it makes it easier after playing in any easier difficulty. The Tier One mode is not worth it and it you wanna keep leveling up to get credit, turn off Tier One mode first before starting a campaign or side mission, and after thinking you’re about to finish it, turn it back on so that you’ll get the tier XP without hard hustle 😂😂😂😂.

[@Tedg58]

I've been using the 556 since I found it. Have all accessories associated with that platform. Laser is kinda cool but they could have done a better job. My biggest gripe is having used real firearms reminds me more of an AK for the muzzle rise under full auto. Which brings me to another gripe. There should be 3 settings for military weapons. Semi auto, burst, and full. But I still love this gun, as it can be dual purpose as a sniper rifle at 300 meters . The P90 sub is a life saver in shit hits the fan in close combat. Both these firearms are only level 4 in tier but the 556 can take out a helo if you control the muzzle rise. Fun game. And I like using empty to take out convoys as well. And I thought I came up with that Haha.

[@Berkzian]

for anyone wondering in 2018, no you will not be stuck in tier 1 mode, you can deactivate the mode at any time and choose lower difficulties with no problem.. you can then go and reactivate tier 1 mode and play on extreme once your bored of arcade or whatever other difficulty.

[@GR8Trollio]

He wasn’t saying you’re STUCK in the mode, he was saying the special properties of the Tier 1 weapons (explosive ammo, etc) are only available in Tier 1 mode. Your T1 weapons aren’t going to play as dominant in regular modes.

[@Mighty_Ceasar]

I know for a fact that the info about the HTI taking 6+ shots in arcade mode is wrong because I frequently play with randoms on the arcade difficulty and the weapon will 1shot most vehicles when it is unsuppressed. Maybe you don't have the vhc perk maxed out then yea, that's a possibility but otherwise, it's a 1shot kill to most vehicles.

Yes transferring the weapons to other levels would be awesome. I am at tier 24 right now and I appreciate your video. The grind is real. I am a father of 3 boys so I get to play once a week for a couple of hours and I try and level up each time (but its getting harder to do). The special weapons would be great in fallen ghosts.

[@elcobra98]

I feel the same way on Extreme Difficulty as I feel on Ghost mode: would be cool if the game was bugless. The randomly spawning enemies when raiding an outpost is somewhat tolerable on lower difficulties whereas Extreme makes it totally unfair since that randomly spawning guy (that you can't spot anymore) could fuck up the entire raid. Totally frustrating. Ghost mode would be a bit more rewarding if the game was a bit more permissive regarding death, especially when you die due to a bug or some unfair gameplay mechanic. Tier One is....tolerable. But you gotta keep spamming the Target Revealing perk.

[@deezrocks6732]

One of his statements is false . You DO NOT have to have tier one mode activated to drop a helicopter with one shot with s sniper rifle . Anything other than the base hti rifle will take more than one shot . Hti unsilenced is guaranteed a one and done for the heli .

I hope you are right and i do like your enthusiasm. I hope that when the PVP drops it will bring people back to Ghost Recon and that they do the franchise justice when this PVP drops. i am looking forward to it and possibly the idea of getting my squad together for some Tactical PVP play and what rewards will come from playing the PVP.

[@TheGeechman]

It was fun playing the game with that extra challenge. If all the stats were to go up while upgrading, the weapons would quickly lose their identity. A perfect example is when devs nerf weapons in battlefield. I agree with your point on the 50 hour grind. After tier 30, you know the missions and areas to farm points. Still love the game. Good video man 👍

[@TheGeechman]

Jimmy Kitkat yes you certainly do! Before you replay the mission make sure you check out how many tier points you get upon completion. There are a couple key missions in the salt flats that are easy and worth a lot. Keep in mind every time you level up in tier the missions will reset to their full value. The more you do one mission the less points it will give you.

[@TheGeechman]

Jimmy Kitkat I appreciate the vids buddy, anything I can do to help.

[@bigtoneq1]

Tier system was meant for post game progression and not to unlock rewards. This gives meaning to the xp we gain while we continue to play. The rewards are just a bonus

I dig Tier Mode. I don't give a fuck about the special gifts and prizes. I just like the grind itself, the strategy, the graphics. I'll stick around with this version of Ghost Recon for a while. BTW, I've been a Ghost Recon fan since the beginning in the late 1990's. I'm super impressed with this series. Interestingly enough though, I think Breakpoint is kinda bullshit...Maybe I'll change my mind about this.

[@napoy17]

They're not explosive rounds. The standard HTI and Desert HTI fire the .50 BMG round which in the game has been programmed to deal enough damage to bring a vehicle to a state of "disrepair" meaning the vehicle is inoperable or it instantly destroys the vehicle, regardless of their damage or penetration stat. The MSR with lower damage but higher penetration stat takes at least 3 rounds to bring a vehicle to a state of disrepair.

[@mrlamb1974]

I didn't know that... Thank you for the heads up. Dought I'd play the teir mode all the time

[@Yoda300YearsAgo]

Game became already too easy on most difficult level. What made me quit was the Sam Fisher mission. Also, once you've done 4 -5 regions you realize all the remaining regions are just copy/paste of the previous ones. Same kind of rebel ops, same kind of skill points, same high level targets, same everything. No variation, too easy and to hell with the scripted missions.

[@zrgaming5865]

I agree, the biggest problem is there is no way to reach tier 1 without constantly grinding the same missions over and over again. feel like it would be better if you reached tier 1 at like 80%-100% completion of the game.

[@_gungrave_6802]

Honestly the Tier 1 mode was just filler bullshit and they should have simply made it to where the rifle and bad news AR are unlocked by beating the game on various difficulties because that increases the replayability and isn't nearly as boring as Tier 1 mode was. On top of all that they should make it to where you can play new game+ with the character from your previous save including weapons, mods, skills, and appearance. Fact is tier 1 mode imo was a failure when Ubisoft could have simply gone with classic style of unlocking stuff because Tier 1 felt like they added new content just so they could claim they added more content to the game when really they only added 2 new weapons and thats the ONLY reason people played that game mode.

[@maze1914]

[@McFearsome2]

HTI BDC doesn't have explosive rounds.. also, its not the damage that gets upgraded, it is the critical hit chance. at level 30, a weapon has a 100% critical hit chance.. a critical hit does double base damage. the 'damage' bar is just an estimate of DPS under optimal conditions.

But it looks like they fixed the ressource grind, because every time i try to farm ressources and i get a convoy it doesnt respawn after i fast travel. Maybe i do something wrong, maybe not.

The thing that this game is missing is the ability to upgrade your vehicles.

Also Tier 1 would have been better if you could upgrade your character's armor and not just the cosmetic look and feel.

[@dirtybomb32]

This was a good video review, just last night I was thinking about this. I was thinking to myself if it was worth it, to continue playing the extreme difficulty for the (IMO) small rewards of increasing the damage on weapons. You have definitely helped me to make my decision and I do not believe I will put forth any more time in this Tier One mode unless I am in the mood to switch it up but really it seems like a waste of time. For the most part, the game plays realistic so it seems to me that it is unnecessary to have to add damage strength to my weapons.

Which way did you farm their points like on the video isn't there a wait for supply convoys I'm confused

[@jamezp2322]

Thats what it looks like, farming or exploit.

[@nightchill2329]

If i leave tier mode will the gun upgrades stay and the bandana aswell?

[@zrgaming5865]

cosmetics stay but the upgrades will be disabled until you enter tier mode again.

Thanks bud 🤜🏻🇺🇸🤛🏻

The BDG 50 I use takes out any vehicle with the perk with one shot.

[@jakewes6642]

If you start a new character and get 100% complete (takes roughly 6-8 hours on your second run) you will hit Tier 20, easy. Then 20-1 is like a week at Most, worth of work. All in all its a grind but compared to other titles it's very minor.

Maxed out el obsequio one shots vehicles armored or not at 80meters.HTI bdc shoots regular bullets, not explosive bullets.

The only REAL difference between extreme and other levels is that you die with less rounds but all the other aspects of the game are equal AI still shite at extreme. I don't really think there's a different u can still have fun in extreme as AI is shite.Thise gamr could've been so good but it has a lot of bugs like clearing an area and suddenly a narco will pop out in the middle of you and ur comrades. The game is fun but I can't rate it over 7/10 it has so many shite aspects.

[@MGZetta]

The only good difference between extreme and others is you can't see unspotted enemy on your map which made you think they pop out right next to you because you didn't know they were hiding or flanking unspotted. Never had a bug like enemy spawned right next to you unless it scripted to spawn for certain missions. Being stealth gets much harder just by removing enemy from you map. Getting killed in 2 shots just make it more exciting to play stealth.

[@SirJabalot]

Have I been doing it wrong? So I completed the game a long time ago and I'm on Tier 1 mode. I'm a level 18 or so. What I've been doing is the side (green) rebel missions to level up (tier and weapons). Other things also give you (a little bit of) points like marking enemies then killing them, of course. But is there a better/faster way that I'm missing out on? I mean, I don't think I can replay the missions for Tier points anymore, can I? I've just been flying around in a chopper stopping convoys mostly. But it's kind of boring. What (for me) sucks is that I wish I could have hit level 1 while playing the campaign. It would have been fun grinding and hitting level one and not yet have killed El Sueno. Thanks.

[@zrgaming5865]

sadly it seems that you have covered everything. To get the tier points best way are missions and convoys. I honestly hadn't tried the rebel missions as i had completed all of them before tier one came around. I have a convoy route that works fairly well if you want to try that method but sadly the closer you get to Tier 1 the more of a grind it becomes doing the same missions and convoys.

[@SirJabalot]

@@zrgaming5865 Understood. I had a feeling I was "stuck" where I am. I appreciate the reply. I guess I'll keep on doing what I'm doing until Break Point comes out. Thanks for the reply and awesome videos. I love the people who have the time, dedication and patience to do this. I sure don't. Mr. Lazy over here. I will sub right now. Promise!

[@zrgaming5865]

also i dont know if you saw my latest video or played any of the closed portions of breakpoint yet but the open beta for breakpoint will be taking place next weekend.

[@SirJabalot]

@@zrgaming5865 I didn't sign up to play the closed Beta (if they had one). I would try the open the Beta for sure. But I will DEFINITELY take a look at your video. And I've subbed and hit the bell as promised.

[@zrgaming5865]

@@SirJabalot i appreciate it, my channel is still small and i try to make the time where i can. i should have a couple of breakpoint videos coming out over the weekend and be sure to comment any type of videos you might be looking for on my channel as i will be trying to cover everything that my subs will be looking for.

[@jonathancasey5063]

Email the devs and show them how many poeple agree with you

[@russ6187]

If you get the VHC damage skills everything is a one shot on any difficulty with either HTI

[@CrzBonKerz21]

Wish there was a customizable LVOA.....

[@zrgaming5865]

agreed

[@callsign_cloudy]

How did you get the convoy to respawn? It used to work for me but now it doesn't respawn when I fast travel.

[@zrgaming5865]

It has been patched since this video has been made. its not a faster method but here is a link to a later video showing a route that you could possibly take in order to get tier points and resources by attacking convoys. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn2WZq1rp6-cd6M

[@callsign_cloudy]

Z & R Gaming Thanks for taking the time to reply. This method is much faster than grinding missions like I was doing before. Thank you!

[@thegolden-ratio961]

just started tier mode few days ago and it turned to extreme at level 35

[@zrgaming5865]

yea, forces you to play that way now until you turn off tier 1 mode

[@evrlame]

Where is the location where you’re grinding resources with the convoys?

[@zrgaming5865]

Method has since been patch but here is another video showing a possible route that you could take to quickly stock up and resources and tier 1 points at the same time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn2WZq1rp6-cd6M

[@MatthewThomas-dq7hp]

Yeah the suggestions are endless for this game..obvious they out zero thought into in-depth gameplay on purpose. But yeah. Teir One mode should have rewards to it, like some benefits available to other modes or ghost mode or Guerrilla, (guns of your choosing for example) or some kind of costume/body armour or credits to buy weapons instead if using money or get a DLC for free/discount. Rewards should be shared between modes. Also

[@roguefortune]

HTI is very useful I've found it alot better than msr and I main snipers in games at all times unless ar is needed plus HTI is one hit kill heli and cars unless an apc or heavy truck

[@chinomontoyo5459]

Band news is good???

[@scorchrp6871]

I think once you reach tier one you be able to pick 5 free clothing for your guy. They make you pay so much for that

[@zrgaming5865]

that would be a good alternative. Or something special for Ghost War showing other that you have put in the extra work to complete the Tier mode.

[@hikoilevasentti7191]

Rounds ain't explosive, the damage is just so high that the vehicle explodes. Every 50 cal in the game drops all the choppers, depending on if ur detected or not may have an influence what comes to ground vehicles, and the armor that they have.

[@Drewdrew-po3zi]

anyone else still play this game? and who else really only plays tear 1 for the resources?

[@danielhughes3758]

I find it a bit odd that when discussing if tier mode is worth it or not, all you talk about is the weapons you get. What about cosmetics? What about the challenge of getting there? If the only thing you are getting out of grinding to tier one is a few weapons that you might not even use after that then no, it's definitely not worth it. But what if the challenge is fun? What if there are some cool cosmetics you really want? Good video overall, but I feel like the scope of it is way too narrow since you only discuss a select few aspects of it. I am currently tier 30 or something so I'm still getting used to playing on extreme vs advanced but to me the challenge of getting to harder tiers and learning to not rely on my mini map as much is a nice change of pace.

[@jakethegunsnake5679]

The DESERT TECH HTI is all you need

[@mfngaming5630]

This is the best ghost recon game ive played but not by far. There are elements of the gr games I wish had transcended time butt, fuck it. You make good points about teir 1 mode and I agree with the feeling of having fun over losing friends because they don't know stealth tactics. But I'm learning about Ubisoft's darkside with the release of games like rainbow six siege/patriots/wtf. I just don't trust them to make a SOLID game save the ac franchise. So much like their shit version of what they wanna call a rainbow six game- wait and see how ghost recon evolves. Gaming as a whole has evolved into a way for nerds to get rich these days and put their nerd children through schools and have health benefits.. so don't expect any of these developers to be thinking of you or the lack of content outside of a micro pay system. Instead, half completed games are being sold as completed games... E3 demo reels are just cg animations with voice overs and far from the downgraded versions we pay for. Remember gaming isn't just a hobby anymore. It's an industry now and all industries want it faster stronger and more powerful but also cheaper. And that means somebody gotta bare that burden.(usually the sweatshop game designers) so Ubisoft has a long dick and we gone learn today. Thank you for reading.
