So perhaps the single best bit of DLC for Ghost Recon Wildlands is on the verge of release in a few weeks. Ubisoft just did a small reveal post here on their official blog:



ghost-recon.ubisoft.com/wildlands/en-US/news/152-290627-16/face-the-deadliest-challenge-in-fallen-ghosts



EDIT - here is an updated Ubi post with more in depth details than the one I linked above:

blog.ubi.com/ghost-recon-wildlands-fallen-ghosts-expansion-unleashes-new-missions-new-enemy/



The release date is set for May 30 if you are a season pass holder or June 6 for everyone else.



If you can wait that long then I encourage you to hold out and enjoy the mystery of what will be Fallen Ghosts. However if you are chomping at the bit for ANY information you can get then take a look at their official post and proceed down below. BEWARE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!



As always take everything with a grain of salt. I cannot see physical data only images and image names so I can only do whatever body else does and make my best guesses.



On with it -





A NEW DLC





Ok so before we get too far along with this I want to point out a small (almost throw away) line in Ubi's official post: "Luckily, the Ghosts will have some resources to face this new threat. Fallen Ghosts includes 25 weapons, including 6 new exclusive ones" We will get to that "6 new weapons" bit a little further down.



What I want to focus on is it says "Fallen Ghost includes 25 weapons" NOT 25 NEW weapons or 25 ADDITIONAL weapons. Remember how Narco Road had a limited weapon set?



This limited set of weapons along with a few other telling pieces in the blog post (raising the limit cap to 35, adding a few new skills) ALMOST 99.% guarantees that Fallen Ghost will be it's own DLC section of the game - just as Ubi has done with almost every major DLC addition involving new quests, etc.



There are also 15 missions and it says "in which you will face four new bosses located in three different regions" which sounds a lot like a section of the main campaign map just like Narco road did.



(Immediately after that it also says "As with the main game, you have total freedom of choice in the way you complete the missions" reinforcing that this is not integrated with the main game.



EDIT - yeah so it's been confirmed now this will be a separate game mode and you will have to create a new character that starts at level 30



So yeah. Take from that what you will.



Enough jibber-jabber! On with the pics Ravens!



The Loading Screen (may not be the final one but i think it's close to final as portions of it keep surfacing in their marketing materials since release):

SPOILER: Click to show



Ok so according to Ubi the Ghosts have done their job and they are trying to exfil out CIA operatives (and themselves) from Bolivia, but the disorganized Cartel decides to get vengeance by bringing in a nasty bunch of mercs called Los Extranjeros. My Spanish is no good, but Google translate insists this means "The Foreigners" weird but ok. Maybe it should mean "The Strangers"? I dunno. All I know in the files they are called PMC - as in Private Military Company



The still caps from the intro and outro of your briefing video on Los Extranjeros and it's leader the enigmatic Colonel Marlo:

SPOILER: Click to show





NEW CHARACTERS



Not much is known about the specific people we are meant to help (and assassinate!) but apparently there are several undercover agents we have to rescue and several enemies we have to take out (there are missions called "Headhunter missions"). Ubi has said there are 4 bosses. I know one will surely be Colonel Marlo who clearly heads up Los Extranjeros -





SPOILER: Click to show





There is also a mysterious figure in the files called simply "Socrates". No idea if this is a friend or foe, but looking at him I feel like he is your "Kate Bowman" for this DLC (Or Pac Katari - take your pick):



SPOILER: Click to show





NEW ENEMIES



Los Extranjeros employes 4 kinds of special forces. I'm assuming there will still be plenty of "grunts" for us to down as well, but these 4 guys are definately the elites.



So we have Armored troops (heavies), Elite Snipers (deal lots of damage and have a wide/long detection radius), Jammers (mobile jamming of your drones, etc) and Covert Ops (wear optical camo and use crossbows)



Here are some collective "group shots" of these guys:



SPOILER: Click to show

















ARMORED

First up the heavily Armored guy who you will want to take out with headshots. These guys will be rocking ARs and I assume LMGs... I mean what Ubi game passes up the opportunity for a "heavy" not to tote an LMG and hose down the heroes??



SPOILER: Click to show













ELITE SNIPERS

Pretty sure these are handled just how you would the other snipers - stay wayyy the fuck away and pick them off with your own high powered rifle. Strongly suspect these guys will be packing a brutal punch if they hit you. Looks like they might even be toting .50 cal rifles. Ouch.



SPOILER: Click to show





JAMMERS

These guys will be annoying because they are mobile so you will have to snipe them or take them out silently somehow in order to use your drone. They might also affect night vision / thermal since Ubi has stated "Jammers have an interference antenna equipped on their backpacks that disables all your electronic gadgets". From the images it looks like the carry SMGs as primary weapons.



SPOILER: Click to show









COVERT OPS

OK these annoyingly freakish guys have optical camo netting that makes them "invisible" in light. By invisible i mean the Predator style shimmer or more appropriately the optical camo of Ghost Recon Future Soldier. I'm a little pissed that we can't get this tech ourselves I mean WE are the Ghosts dammit!



Any way the counter to this sneaky shit is going to be your thermal vision which will light them up like a Christmas tree. These guys also carry the new crossbow so that's cool.



SPOILER: Click to show













NEW WEAPONS AND GEAR



So Fallen Ghosts says that it includes 6 all new weapons and 10+ new "legendary weapons" (the unique skinned ones you cannot modify)



For the legendary weapons I think most will be the ones I found in my "Epic Weapons Spoiler" thread here -

farcrymods.freeforums.net/thread/488/epic-weapons-spoiler



As to the NEW weapons I do know some and I guess depending on what Ubi considers a "weapon" maybe all of them.



CROSSBOW

Obviously we are getting the crossbow and there are icons for regular AND explosive bolts.



SPOILER: Click to show













PSG1

So as for guns first up will be the PSG1 Sniper Rifle. Now this gun has actually been in the game with skeleton, textures, etc for a long while now. I kept thinking they would release it with something else, but apparently they had it saved up for Fallen Ghosts.



SPOILER: Click to show



BFG-50

Another POWERFUL Sniper Rifle coming is the BFG-50A. Having shot single shot 50 cal rifles related to Serbu guns I can attest these things are fucking brutal in real life. So if the Elite Snipers carry these - watch out! This should be comparable to the HTI currently in the game (and as you know that thing shots helicopters out of the sky so...)



SPOILER: Click to show





PDR

Next up we are getting a cool new bullpup SMG - the Magpul PDR.

I've always loved the look of this thing.





SPOILER: Click to show





MDR

Finally another futuristic looking gun will be the new bullpup assault rifle - the Desert Tech MDR. It seems like Los Extranjeros likes high tech looking guns

For those of you wondering about this particular gun here is the real world page for it:

deserttech.com/product_overview.php?product_id=4&load=product_overview





SPOILER: Click to show





WEAPON 6

Ok so that's a crossbow and 4 new guns, but what about the "sixth weapon"? They mention six new weapons right Ravens? Yeah they do, but the truth is I'm not sure what Ubi decides they are calling a "weapon" in this context. I didn't find anymore guns (not to say the couldn't add more guns in the next patch which will surely contain the final files for Fallen Ghost). BUT here are a few new possible contenders:



KNIFE - A few rumors have surfaced about screen caps of a combat knife being used. Now this could just be cinematics or a marketing still shot. It might not mean anything. I did however find a knife model in the files. Again that could just be used for cinematics or even I think at least one harness has a sheathed knife on it so again this could just be window dressing.



NEW GRENADE - So I found at least one new grenade for Fallen Ghost called the EMP Grenade. I assume these will be useful in knocking out the jammer dudes and turning off optical camo on covert ops (hell it might even scramble the snipers as it seems they have some kind of high tech "monocle" device that they wear)



SPOILER: Click to show



NEW DRONE(S) - There are at least 2 new drones in the DLC: the attack Drone and the Flash Drone. In addition there is something called "Drone Vengeance" which I think might be actually a "skill" which allows your drone to detonate whenever it's shot down possibly taking some enemies with it.



The flash drone sounds (and looks) like basically a flash grenade. Use it to stun nearby enemies briefly.



The attack drone on the other hand is said to allow you to "attach a small-caliber shooting device to your drone to transform it into a lethal flying weapon". I don't know if we will really be able to equip guns to it or more likely it will come with a small 9mm or 5.56 etc gun with limited rounds. I suspect the latter with a handgun like level of ammo and damage, but I guess we will see.



GALIL - It's been rumored that some people have spotted the Galil (ACE?) in some of the leaked production art so it's possible I missed this gun in the files OR it will be added in the next patch with the reset of the Fallen Ghost files. They do specifically say new assault rifleS (plural), sniper rifleS, etc. and there are 2 sniper rifles so hoping there will indeed be 2 new assault rifles as well.



SPOILER: Click to show









NEW MISSIONS



So there are 15 new main missions. I also found 4 new side mission types.





HEADHUNTER MISSIONS - Presumably to take out important and dangerous targets.



SPOILER: Click to show



SABOTAGE - Clearly destroying certain objects and stealing data (or uploading virus etc)



SPOILER: Click to show



SAVE THE VIP - we know there are several undercover CIA agents left in Bolivia we have to help rescue.



SPOILER: Click to show



WILD TOWER - Not sure if these are additional bases or just sniper lookouts around the map. You know Ubi and their love of towers in games



SPOILER: Click to show







So that's it for intel on this Ghosts. I hope you enjoyed this inside look and I REALLY hope that this gets you excited about Ghost Recon Wildlands again. I really do think this DLC is much, much along the lines of the main game and what we wanted and expected for DLC in this game. It's clearly light years better than Narco Road and I truly hope Ubi does not mess this up. I am really looking forward to this and seeing what they do with it.



Thanks guys and may all your shots be true.
