Ghost Recon Wildlands - Update 5 adds a new leveling system and more!

Ubisoft deploys a new update for the open world shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands. Update 5 includes bug fixes, minor optimizations and the new game mode Tier 1.

While Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is still struggling on the popularity scale, it doesn't mean that the game has been abdandoned. Ubisoft has just released a brand new update for the action third person shooter which should hopefully bring back some players. Update 5, weighing in at 7.4 GB on PC will not only fix some bugs, but also add in the "Tier 1 Mode" which will bring a new level of difficulty to the game and changes the level up system slightly.

Players will now start at level 50 and work their way towards level 1 by earning Tier Points. As you unlock more of these, you will also get rewards and unlocking this new mode will just require a character to reach level 30 in the base game and turn if on within the menu.

Apart from a list of bug fixes, the patch for Ghost Recon Wildlands also introduces a HUD indicator, which now displays the reason for being discovered on the mini-map. Take a look at the full patch notes below for more info:
