Back with another bit of spoilers for you guys. A new patch dropped and it contained even more content revolving around the season challenges we can can complete for free goodies.



Now obviously this is SPOILER HEAVY so if you do not want this stuff spoiled to you and you want to be surprised by the season challenges then you should definately avoid this thread! I really think it's a lot of fun not knowing what we can get, but at the same time I also know some folks are super eager to find out anything they can about upcoming content.



I also want to say that I really appreciate Ubisoft doing these weekly challenges and seasons and kind of building a story around them. I think it's cool that we have some extra reasons to play around in Wildlands and can earn some free cosmetic stuff just for completing them. I know they get a lot of flak for some of the decisions they have made around GRW and content for it, but i really do think these "seasonal" challenges are a positive addition. I'll probably be called out for making a pro Ubisoft statement (oh no heaven forbid!), but I think it's important to recognize when they are actively doing something positive to engage the community and increase longevity with the game. I recognize some bitter folks will say this is all a bunch of "mindless grinding" to get "free patches they will never use" and hey if you feel that way it's ok - you don't have to do these challenges. It's all optional free side content. So if you like it then great participate in it and if you don't just ignore it



Anyway enough soapbox. On to the leak:



PATCHES



First up it seems pretty clear that we get about 2 free patches each week. I've found a TON of new patches in the files for our characters. Now I'm not a big patch guy myself, but I have to say I do quite like some of these. They are pretty cool and a lot better quality than I would have expected for free patches given out like this. There is one that looks like the Punisher's signature skull I quite like a lot... REALLY hoping that is a patch we can earn.



Now these may or may not be all of the patches we can get. There could be others coming and some of these might be for upcoming store content packs. I'm just not sure if these are all 100% only for the weekly challenges, but as you can see quite a few of them have the same look and feel as ones we have already seen that we can earn.



Rather than show each patch individually I made a big collage of them:

SPOILER: Click to show









There is one patch that seemed very different than the others and I got a bit excited by this because it could mean something or it could just be a weird anomaly. It might be for Fallen Ghosts or even something else.



There is a "Kilroy was Here" patch which is a very famous scribble drawing that appeared all over the place during war time ranging all the way back to WW2. Now we already have a WW2 content pack and it does not have this patch. I really wonder if this patch means we might get a Vietnam or Korean war inspired pack or some other war... probably just wishful thinking on my part and I can find NO other supporting evidence, but never the less it does make one ponder:

GUN PAINTS AND CAMOS



Next up are some possible new paint jobs we could be getting for our weapons. We have already been able to unlock COPPER during the first weekly challenge and for some reason (not sure why) BRONZE has also been unlocked for a lot of people... maybe everyone?!? I suspect this might be a glitch, but maybe Ubi will come out and tell us they gave it to us all for some special reason.





So the metallic paint jobs I could find are below:

SPOILER: Click to show



WHITE may actually be WHITE GOLD? Not sure as it's just listed as white.

EDIT - It seems might be related to the Yeti stuff and is a reward for those challenges.





Also there were 4 new KRYPTEK camo patterns. I do not know if these will be seasonal rewards or some kind of upcoming content pack:

SPOILER: Click to show







The preview image on RAID looks off to me because it is supposed to be a gray urban camo so maybe these aren't complete yet? If you want to see how these camo patterns look in real life here is a link:

T-SHIRT



This week they revealed we could unlock the EVIL SUN T-shirt as part of the community challenge to kill Unidad snipers from a distance.



I did find another T-Shirt in the files which looks very similar called the CAIMAN:

SPOILER: Click to show







GUNS!



That's all well and good but we want new guns right?!?



Well as always I cannot say conclusively that these guns will be seasonal rewards but I have a STRONG suspicion that these custom items will be our... "ultimate" reward for completing a season.



I've only found two so far -



M249 AMERICAN (Season 1 final reward??):

SPOILER: Click to show



P416 MICTECA (Season 2 final reward?? Mictecacihuatl is an Aztec goddess "Lady of the Dead" associated loosely with Santa Muerte):

SPOILER: Click to show







THE YETI



Now some of you are going to get REALLY excited...



You know the Unidad background we have for season 1 challenges:





Well there were two more backgrounds and they seem to be for upcoming challenegs.



The first background image name is Season1_Yeti and it looks like this:

SPOILER: Click to show



There are also two uniquely YETI themed reward images.



A Yeti Patch:

and a Yeti based Face Paint:

SPOILER: Click to show



Sadly I did not find any specific "Yeti" based guns, but I did find LOADS of props listed in the files naming corpses, objects and more. Now I won't say that I found an actual Yeti (I didn't), but I did find a lot of convincing evidence that all of the crazy stuff people have been finding is likely the setup to the tasks we will be required to do with the Yeti.



Now... the Yeti itself. You *might* not want to spoil this for yourself. Think carefully before looking at this spoiler.

Seriously. I mean it.



SPOILER: Click to show



"WANTED



Alive or dead



Valuable reward is offered"



Now look at that silhouette very carefully.



Let me just say there is sufficient evidence in the files about the "yeti corpse" to warn you not to get your hopes up too high. The "Yeti" could very well be something far more mundane than a mythological creature. "WANTEDAlive or deadValuable reward is offered"Now look at that silhouette very carefully.Let me just say there is sufficient evidence in the files about the "yeti corpse" to warn you not to get your hopes up too high.

SANTA MUERTE



The other background image is named Season2_SantaMuerte and it looks like this:

SPOILER: Click to show



Much like the Yeti one there is a special face paint for Santa Muerte (and I think the P416 Micteca is also reward for season 2 - see above)



This face paint looks VERY much like the one in the Santa Muerte costume, but presumably you can equip this separately... which is something I would LOVE to see more of:

So it looks like while season 1 was all about Unidad and now Season 2 will be all about Santa Muerte which is pretty cool.







So that's it for these spoilers. I'm not sure yet what the other seasons will look like or what our rewards will be, but I find it all pretty fun and interesting and look forward to it.



Hope you guys do too.
