Mods Turned Wildlands Into An Awesome FPS!

Ghost Recon Wildlands launched in 2017 as an ambitious and impressive open world third person tactical shooter, but modding has just taken it to new heights. You can now radically transform the game into an immersive FPS experience with a single mod. The end result feels rediscovering a different game buried just under the surface...

As someone who hates ubisoft but working as an artist there is one of my and my friends end goals, the art and work they put into it is as amazing as the gameplay is terrible, and dumbed down for some of the casualest, attention spanless people around.

I would love to see another ghost recon being just breakpoint mixed with wildlands with some more weapon customization and maybe gear mechanics instead of only visual changes to clothing. And with option to play natively with first person

[@matthewfloridaforlife]

Wildlands was just way less buggy for me and had so much more. But the difficulty of breakpoint was nice.

[@shotgunmasterQL]

IIRC, they are working on a new Ghost Recon game according to rumors, but supposedly it's still fairly early in the development and we might not hear anything about it for 2 years. Obviously also assuming it doesn't get rebooted or cancelled. They probably learned something from the failures of Breakpoint. I never even bought Breakpoint since from the get go the whole "requires online connection" thing was a dealbreaker, especially when I play games mostly solo. Wildlands worked fine offline and online, but I guess they just had to screw up Breakpoint in multiple ways.

[@noAlia5]

yup wildlands map and layout with breakpoints/ more updated gameplay. i could see the best looking game already. imagine africa, brazil, australia asia even the middle east it would be an amazing game if done correctly

[@matthewfloridaforlife]

Honestly, I'd like it in a more urban area. Wildlands and Breakpoint both suffered same issue of random checkpoints in the woods, just highly unlikely. If it was a city it'd feel more in, they already have multistory buildings. It'd be cool.

[@marko_1marko]

My issue with both Wildlands and Breakpoint is absolutely stupid story and forgettable characters. Both games have addictive shooting and some gameplay mechanics, they had a potential to turn those games in something awesome as older MGS games. Imagine this gameplay with some epic story and characters, amazing missions etc. Instead they wasted too much time on making huge world, full of stupid missions. I really don't need a world that large, I don't want to travel to next mission 20 minutes, I want better atmosphere, story, characters for better immersion

[@TheMuffinMan347]

I replayed this whole game in first person when this mod came out. It made Wildlands one of my favourite games of all time. I also recommend the FOV changing mod to get rid of the zoom when you hipfire

[@mckinleyfisher-lynd3896]

I love this Mod! So immersive. I had never fully played through wildlands until this mod.

[@eduardosilveira6974]

Can i also say that one of the reasons Wildlands feels and looks so distinct is, like, the setting? Pretty sure there are no other open world games set in Bolivia. Hell, not even in South America in general. Wish we had more games outside North America and Western Europe, especially with this kind of attention to detail. Just imagine open words with a realistic depiction of environments and cultures set in Southeast Asia, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Balkans, Horn of Africa, Caucasus, Mexico, Brazil, the possibilities are endless

[@0lionheart]

Open world no, but Bolivia was in Tomb Raider Legend I remember that much. Games like Just Cause 4, Mercenaries 2, Far Cry 6 were open world South America, there's probably more that's just off the top of my head. There's not a huge list but it's definitely becoming more of a trend to not set games in the same old locations (New York, Paris etc). Assassin's Creed did Syria/Palestine area, India, Greece, Spain, China at one point..

[@eduardosilveira6974]

@@0lionheart Yeah but how many of those have realistic depictions of environment and cultures? Far Cry and Just Cause are set in "unamed south american countries", a.k.a. an amalgamation of various latino cliches. Assassins Creed does it (mostly) right though, they do their research and it shows

[@Huckleberry_Sid]

I love Wildlands. One of the few games I just perpetually keep on my computer to randomly boot up from time to time. I think LevelCap is off the mark with his critique about the game not pivoting to get in on the emerging battle royale boom. It takes a long time to develop games like these, and Wildlands is a cut above. I'm really glad they didn't try and shoehorn in some half-baked BR mode after release but instead kept to their vision (looking at you 2042). Also, at the time no one really knew just how BIG battle royales would get so to critique the game for not going in that direction is just... kind of vacuous? It's easy to look back and say "Hey, they could have done that and got in on the ground floor", but a lot harder to predict what will be successful... and as Cap even points out, they were already pushing boundaries with the game they delivered. Anyway, this mod is definitely something I might pitch to some friends for the future.

[@Gobbldeegoo1]

I’m so over BR’s… it’s become a cliche game mode. Gimme missions to complete with my friends and a good story with awesome cinematics, and call me a happy boy. Extraction shooters are waaaaay more satisfying and authentic feeling then BR’s. The fad is BR’s though, so we get a sea of BR’s.

[@AHHHb0bSaggot]

Maybe someone can mod in a BR mode? Sadly the online community is dead, I've tried to get back into it countless times and can never find a PvP lobby. They had some GREAT PvP too..

True words, awesome game and fantastic map

[@Atelierwanwan]

My biggest issue with Wildlands was the enemies ability to track in on you while they arent' supposed to know you're there. Was playing with a friend and we couldn't really co-ordinate because of it. I'd be sneaking in while he was providing sniper support. However if he ever shot anyone the enemies would be alert and even if they apparently don't know where we are they all still seemed to converge on me, despite me not being the one to shoot anything in the first place. Really took us out of the experience. If they had a mod that would fix that, treat players as individual so I could still do my thing even if my friend is causing a ruckus I'd be all in.

[@Atelierwanwan]

@@RandySavag I didn't mean the enemies aggro, I meant the alert or caution state when they find a body or something. They just come my direction. They'll be "searching" but all of them will be converging on my position. Whether I shot someone and moved elsewhere or my buddy who is off on a nearby mountain shot someone, which they'll be climbing the mountain to go find even if they aren't fully alerted yet too. They won't actually "find" you until they get direct line of sight but they still keep coming towards you, even if you move somewhere else. If they are more aggro on my friend then they will be more focused on that sure but I'm talking about when they are in that caution state and just gravitate towards me no matter where I go. I had a similar thing in breakpoint. Shooting some wolves from a hidden place. Move to another place without being spotted. Their drones all just drove right over to me and circled until it was appropriate for them to "find" me. Like playing hide and seek with a kid, they need to give me a good show even though they already know where I am despite having moved from my original location. Or finding a body I killed several minutes ago and then pinpointing my sniping location on a mountain at least 300+m away. I like the game for the most part, but the AI makes it impossible to play the way I like to, or with friends. At least without it just being a pure shooter which gets a bit boring after awhile.

[@Elzimbabwe.]

@@Atelierwanwan In Wildland if your friend shoots a bad guy and he triggers the Hunted enemy state they won't come for you if you don't shoot without a suppressor and if you don't get half spotted, if they even spot you a little bit they will go to your location. What's awesome in Wildland is if the enemies come to you when in Hunted state, if you move away, they will only go to the last location you've been spotted, you can set traps like that.

[@Atelierwanwan]

@@Elzimbabwe. I'm not amazing at stealth in these ghost recon games, no idea why it doesn't click with me because I do perfectly well in any other game. Whatever the case I know I wasn't spoted, or even half seen, never fired my gun and there were no enemies in the area I was in. My friend cautioned the enemy, I'm not sure how because I couldn't see. Half of them were on the way to his location way up on the mountain while the rest slowly "searched" directly towards me. Literaly if you drew lines from them to their destination it would have obviously been on top of me. I managed to sneak past them without being seen and suddenly they turn around and are heading my direction again. I am no spotted, they are doing their search routine but for some reason are always doing it in my direction. There were many instances of this but this was the most clear. Not sure how it works in single player as I haven't played on my own very much but that's the experience I had in multiplayer. You can find countless other examples too, like setting off C4 on the other side of the base alerting them to the player. Not my own experience but one of many complaints. The problem moved over to Breakpoint too. One example was I sniped one of the wolves without getting directly spotted. I moved location without being seen and hid myself, prone and used the ability to hide yourself whatever it's called. The three drones all came right at me, not the location I was, and I know I hadn't been spotted while moving or even half spotted. They came right over to me and started circling me like one of those coin games slowly moving towards the centre while "searching". eventually they came it to the middle and in compete sync all turned to be facing me directly where their detection meter started filling, staring right at me until they "found" me. Games are fun little shooters but stealth is borked. Let's not mention the telescopic vision and inhuman aim the AI has when it comes to sniping. Can't even see them without my scope but they can hit me from atop my mountain with their machine guns.

[@Rorschach1998]

I played online with randoms a lot and I haven't seen this happen, going prone and making sure where every enemy is, should help.

[@captainw0w]

That's been exactly my experience as well. It's always when they're not in full alert, but they're suspicious or in hunting mode like they've found a dead body, they'll slowly move towards your location even though they have no way of knowing where you are. It's kind of annoying lol

[@grunerd]

Now someone needs to fix the AI detection system. The biggest flaw this game had was, that the position of every single squad member is revealed when just one single member is being detected. Which sucks, when one guy on the open field is being detected but mortars hit the other three members who were crawling for 15 minutes slowly through deep jungle. This always annoyed me, in solo and coop alike and basically killed the fun on replays for me, especially on harder difficulties.

[@samuelmendoza9356]

It'll be a big problem if the enemy AI is coded to only detect the entire teams position and that there are no provisions to make other means of tracking which variables to consider which one is spotted like this variable. isMember1detected=false; isMember2detected=true, isMember3detected=false, isMember4detected=false, isEscortdetected=false; Any of those variables can be true or false depending on who is spotted or not. Seems like an easy fix but this will also means they will have to add codes or worse rewrite it entirely.

[@joshuafurlong5270]

This literally is not true, your ai are completely undetectable until you yourself get detected. They will literally crouch walk right in front of enemies, or across a road in full view of someone to take cover and not be detected.

[@rufescenteagle7299]

​@@joshuafurlong5270I think he's talking about if one co-op player is detected, all are detected

[@Elzimbabwe.]

Not true, in Wildland if your friend shoots a bad guy and he triggers the Hunted enemy state they won't come for you if you don't shoot without a suppressor and if you don't get half spotted, if they even spot you a little bit they will go to your location. The only part you're right for are the mortars shooting everybody no matter if you're in Engaged state or Hunted state. I have 1500 hours in coop with my brother and we play pretty much every weekend.

[@PERTEKofficial]

4:40 I play on the highest difficulty with this mod and frankly I like that the AI behave that way. At least to me it just makes it feel like they can figure out where you are, which means I have to make more tactical decisions. At the same time though, I just enjoy a very challenging experience Edit: I don’t think it needs to be tweaked, part of that “bubble vision” includes the enemy AI hearing your footsteps, etc. “Realistic” difficulty wouldn’t be all that realistic if they can’t hear you for example. Lower difficulties? Sure, that could be more LOS based. Would probably be a good way to balance the difficulty options in FPS mode

[@TimeWiz]

Personally speaking thats a great mod to bring life into the game and i agree a lot with what your saying, wish ubisoft would put as much love into wildlands as they have Seige, considering a lot of the characters are in it. I would love it to be more like PubG where there are Battle Royale, the gunplay on multiplayer was some of the best in any shooter, imo. Also Like Metal Gear Solid 5 where thing can change dynamically depending on your tactics would be a cool update/ feture to mod in. Some soldiers have better line of sight in MGS than in GRW but the snipers in the fallen DLC are deadly if they spot you on realistic, personally speking the ttk feels right. Also would be nice to be able to knock out AA and other such things on bases and they not respawn as soon as you fast travle, personal speaking it should take like a day or 2 in-game to replace like AA and other such things. But im glad to see this mod, there should just be a toggle option in it.

Wildlands is the best single player open world shooter i have ever played. Too bad these kind of games are a dying breed in a gaming space - at least as far as i know. Although the themes are serious, there is a lot things hidden under the serious core of the game (looking at you Predator). Gameplay is satisfying and well built for a fun co-op experience too. There is no reason why this game SHOULD have been a battleroyale game other than the business perspective and that decision probably would have been a bad one anyway. Wildlands is a great reminder for developers that you dont have to try to do it all to develop a great game.

[@SuperFriendBFG]

Modders can really elevate games. There's a suite of New Vegas mods that do a lot to improve that game's FPS gameplay, which at its baseline didn't even have Iron Sights. Now, though, with the proper suite of mods, you can have true first person ironsights (That's not easy since in the base game, your weapon sways in a way that doesn't match where it shoots), and even more recently, someone even added Picture In Picture scopes to New Vegas, so you don't get that old style blacked out screen with a scope view that games once did (New Vegas True Scopes that one is called). Due to all the jank involved in getting a game that was never designed with ironsights in mind, there's another amazing mod that's an ultra light weight tool that lets you manually align the ironsights (and scopes) for almost all the weapons (and modded weapons) in the game. That may be a bit too much jank for some, but for me it actually felt like I was zero-ing my gun before using it for the first time. Frankly the whole suite of mods that you can set up for old games are insane.

A quick correction but New Vegas did have Iron sights you're thinking of Fallout 3.

[@SuperFriendBFG]

@@TheDragonsPit It does, but they're awful. The mods you can get make it much better. As I mentioned in my post, Fallout NV has fake Ironsights. You're not actually aiming where the sights are, because that's not where actual crosshair is. If you force the crosshair to be enabled even when aiming down sights, you'll actually see the ironsights constantly veer off of where the crosshair is. It's an engine limitation so it's hard to blame Obsidian for this. It's just that modders have had over a decade to fine tune everything so it at least makes Fallout NV's gunplay feel passable, ya know?

If it had the option for first person from the start I would have bought it 🤷‍♂️

[@sterlingwooten2153]

Wish this game had a rust kinda game mode with online base building and etc. everything is there for it to be great

[@clintcooper8807]

Ubisoft should've made a DLC upgrade that added an FPS and other refinements to Wildlands similar to what Aftermath was for the WWZ game.

[@DarkshinastaReborn]

Wildlands is my favorite Ghost game. Then its Future Soldier. I wish Wildlands utilized a big MMO mode. It would feel like playing BF, but more realistic.

[@1111Tactical]

First person in this game feels like Dayz's first person.

[@optimalbonkerz]

If we had a mod that allowed bodies to stay and have to move enemy bodies with the first person mod it would have been the perfect game imo

[@metalnat27]

lol I'll stick with third person on this one lol. Thanks!! I mean shit! You get to create your own character from top to bottom as you see fit!! Visual effects in regard of your created character is SOOOO important for more immersion aspects to enjoy that visual that you have spent at least HOURS in creating it altogether 🤙. And third person in this game plays incredibly well too. They truly did not fuck up on Wildlands.

[@Baraz_Red]

Considering that, in the original Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six, you could not do a face to face with enemies without dying in a second (at least on Veteran and Elite difficulty), I am fine with enemies reacting quickly and harshly. You need a tactic or to surprise them. It is a problem only if the first person view breaks the possibility of being stealthy.

[@clichedan7812]

Another Mod I Highly Recommend is the Night Vision Reshade. It's found on a kerbal space program thread of all places, but it completely changes how you approach night time operations.

[@smugkokomi8384]

are mods applicable to steam WGR ?

[@clichedan7812]

@@smugkokomi8384 I would assume?

[@Rex-qx2ko]

ya, the recent ghost recon games definitely limit mods but the games themselves have so much potential. There are so many QoL changes I would like to see through mods like first person, various bullet mechanic overhauls, detections but even the mods currently available are very difficult to install. Missed potential

[@RadDadActual91]

I love Wildlands and Breakpoint and yeah I do always wish for a more “immersive“ 😑 gameplay loop for most of the games I play, I also just enjoy them for what they are. Buuut that mod is hella cool. Hopefully it will be an option for future GR games since I play on console 🤞🏻

[@SamanthaNoel-di3jm]

Love it when people try to use the argument that because the og game was 1st person, that it should be an fps. It was literally the only one and theres a reason for that. Yeah an option to have both would be nice but i think its safe to say most fans prefer over the shoulder view.

[@TheMrASSTASTIC]

Wildlands as the best GR. I loved that game.

[@TJB-Gaming]

Sorry to be that guy, but... Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter on PC was also first-person. Also the first gamy may have been simple visually, but in terms of gameplay, it has lot of dept. But yeah, this looks like a cool mod!

[@ItsCheetahTV]

I’d love to see wild lands turned into a custom “ARMA” based game.

[@irishmarine3]

One mistake in your video - GR2 in 2004, which was an Xbox exclusive was 3rd person yes, but Advanced Warfighter both 1 @ 2 in 2006/2007 were both still first-person games specifically made for the PC (but did get console releases in 3rd person, although they were different games under the same title).. so there is even more first-person DNA in the GR franchise than people think

[@DatPenguin97]

I dont really like 3rd person in shooters (tried it multiple times, it just feels weird to me) so this looks awesome

[@sam127001]

Much better - never could like 3rd person games
