#Hollyhood Totally agree. I love the Bad News, grindind my ass off right now at Tier 12 but the sight is irritating af. Can't use the grenade launcher with that scope.
i specifically only like running primary weapons with the option to at least put a grenade launcher on it for clearing out crowds and am disappointed that there aren't that many.
Tier 1 would be cool to stick around in if enemies didn't take like 10 rounds from large caliber weapons. If the damage stayed the same, and the enemies just got smarter, I would keep the mode on.
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.
@@futuretrunks3158 he means with all of your upgrades from the last playthrough you'll start with that modded ACR you made rather then finding it again
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.
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.
+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...
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.
guys lets be honest every game we ever grinded on to finally get the prize is never really worth it at the end. tier mode is good to play because it makes the game fun and also you get bonuses for all the green items to modify your skills and guns to the max
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.
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.
I switched to Advanced difficulty nearly instantly when I started playing. During the campaign, I kept reducing the HUD step by step so I always hit the sweet spot between challenge and fun.
Im only farming tier 1 for the LVOA-C bad news tbh, but I'd say the grind is worth it. I'm at Tier 13 right now and it's getting tiring to grind over and over and over again
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 😂😂😂😂.
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
Same, like some missions that are action based, u cant do them in tier 1 mode, for example the la plaga mission, after he goes down the tunnel, you have no other option than to kill like 10 sicarios. I switch to arcade, kill the sicarios, throw a flashbang on plaga, switch to tier and take him down in close combat. BOOM BITCH
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.
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. ruclips.net/video/O_RWnvw9mb8/видео.html
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.
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.
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.
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.
thanks for the compliment, the bad thing about grinding in games is the second you reach the end of the long goal its like there is not reason to continue playing a game. That is why battle passes have become so popular in games recently i think.
I think that would be a great idea compared to the constant grinding that we are having to do. With certain missions we would be able to look at someone and see from the rewards what achievements they have accomplished.
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 .
@@kellyamosrobertson9669 If you have adv suppressor and use a suppressor it takes more then one shot because you are reducing your penetration and adv suppressor doesn't affect penetration.
I agree, i think it is interesting that we now have 2 variations of it and that both of them are special weapons and yet we do not have a stock one to customize ourselves.
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.
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.
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
Dude Tier 1 mode, is awesome, it makes the gaming experience like real life, it makes u think about things before running in and go guns blazing. I still run it every since I completed it.
I agree that it can be fun and that some entertainment can be found it playing that mode. But for the times that you just want to mess around its not for that also. When trying to do cooperatively you have to worry about that one guy that always runs in without a suppressor. lol
Z & R Gaming that's y I don't run with random people and play with friend. If I do play some random person I tell them upfront on what I like to play. I love stealth games, main reason y I bought the game, personally the game mode is something to do until pvp comes out.
I'm talking about half of my normal squad. lol Yea i understand that and the stealth was the biggest selling point for me for this game when i heard about it 2 years ago even though i have always been a big Tom Clancy fan. I hope that PVP will be out before the end of the year but do to the lack of knowledge that we are given on it im afraid to think that we might not get it until either EOY 2017 or early 2018.
Z & R Gaming PVP will be out people r being impatient, I like the fact that they r taking there time with it, giving us a good multiplayer experience rather than a rush order of PVP. I see it coming out sometime this fall in my opinion.
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.
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.
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.
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 👍
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.
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.
Thanks for your perspective on this topic. I am currently starting the tier grind and was wondering what it would like as I progress through the levels... Looks like I'm gonna chill and just enjoy the game without the special weapons, etc. I like to play in normal mode with other players too.
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.
Holy shit it never dawned on me to use tag enemy and target on the convoys o.o hahaha before now i was having to blow it up now i can tag the enemies without even going near the convoy ty for making me see an easier way to get more materials
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.
It would i agree completely. I have always been a fan of games that following this method allowing you to restart with all of your earned equipment. Would also be another great way to give players special icons, camo's, weapons once the PVP drops if they have completed the game more than once.
i find the bad news is a gd weapon but has really bad range but apart from that it is a gd weapon n for the new game+ they cd have made it so it opens exstreme mode coz if ur a new players to this kinda game when u hit tier 2 its a 1 hit kill on u
EXTREME mode after tier 35 is like sooooo unrealistic, it's still very playable tho,but you struggle to tag everyone in the area cuz nothing is shown on the freaking map and its kinda frustrating.
The spotting perk works but not for all of the unidad trucks that freshly spawn in. And the npc’s track you too fast when you fall back to a new position.
Just got to tier 35. Extreme difficulty comes in, I resume play, and get shot roughly four times to get downed. My team gets slaughtered shortly after.
The programming of the AI is what makes tier mode not fun. Enemies will laser beam you to death before even going through their proper animations to aim.
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.
I will say this, if you like Ghost Recon Wildlands and plan to buy the sequel Breakpoint they announced that anyone who completes Tier mode will receive a special emblem in Breakpoint. So even though im not sure if i will take the time to get my other account to Tier 1 you may want to complete it if you have time if you are a collector. i will be making a video within the next week about the Breakpoint Rewards.
The desert HTC is UNLOCKED for all modes and one shot kills vehicles once unlocked. Not just locked to teir mode.. i havent gone to teir one yet, so idk about the other unlock though
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.
I dont know, if i want to go all the way to tier one. But i will go to tier five for the bad news. But i dont grind all the way to tier five, i just play the game and help my friends through the story. I love to kill every enemy without getting spotted. 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. I dont know. And i dont see any difference in upgrading a weapon in terms of damage. I upgraded the AK-12 all the way to lv 30 and i dont see any difference at all. As everyone has, i have my personal go to weapons. Its the AK-12, M4A1, P90, Scorpion EVO 3 and the MSR. Yes i have the Desert Tec but i dont use it that much.
The thing that this game is missing is the ability to upgrade your vehicles. I think they should have been some upgrades to vehicles to have more firepower or armor plates around the chassis and body. Also Tier 1 would have been better if you could upgrade your character's armor and not just the cosmetic look and feel.
I'm only doing tier 1 because i started it haha I agree, I believe if you reach tier 1, you should be able to transfer over to another mode, thank you for this vid. I hate extreme by the way haha
i do like the stealth aspect as it is the main reason i got the game we(Reaper & Zombie) are efficient enough as a team to go through a base stealth majority of the time quietly and quickly but if trying to play with other while in Tier One mode if they mess up(I have friends who enjoy the spray and pray. lol) then Tier One mode can seriously wear on you.
Dude, get the sr25 jungle, kills everything one shot negligable bullet drop. 20 round mag And get the G2 assault rifle, beautiful accuracy ,great rate of fire. Great with GL.
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
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.
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.
I understand, not to mention once you get to Tier 1 you unlock a weapon skin that you are unable to actually use on the 2 weapons that you were awarded in Tier one mode. I believe they should of given us a pistol at Tier 1 if not before so we had a Tier weapon in each slot.
Wel if you start the game again from scratch and before your do the first area do the first mission then go to inca do that go to la cruz do most of that go to montu punchu jungle do a bit of that go to midina watever its called were el muro is do that then do the hole sercutiy mission your will b rank 30
Just completed Tier 1 Ghost Mode last night, and long story short, no. Managed to get a few cool items from crates, but not worth the time I spent grinding for em’.
I like how people flip out because there forces to play in extreme difficulty yet since the second I start any game I go to the hardest difficulty and turn off most of the hud and settings
I thought this Tier would be a school of hard knocks, but I didnt realize I started the game on Advanced with minimap off anyways... so the adjustment wasnt major, but its still a pain in the ass.
Tbh I only play Tier 1 for the skull bandanna lol. I never liked "special" weapons because unless I customize it myself I don't feel like it's mine
#Hollyhood Totally agree. I love the Bad News, grindind my ass off right now at Tier 12 but the sight is irritating af. Can't use the grenade launcher with that scope.

You can upgrade weapons though can't you? No hate just wondering if you know
@@outlaw615 you can but still no fun using the same weapon over and over and over and its not really realiable to upgrade more than two weapons
I don't know if you know this, but you can upgrade the damage on your favorite weapons. The HT1 for me is maxed out and is unforgiving.
It’s an accomplishment to do the grind. I won’t do it again though. Extreme level isn’t fun.
Till this day I only play on harden because I don’t want some random enemy come up behind me without seeing it on the mini map
Actually, tier 1 mode is fun. Even on it's extreme level. Ghost mode isn't clearly fun.
i dont like it bcuz anemies spawn randomly behind you or even if you recon tha erea an thats not fair
Its fun yet

I agree, i think it is interesting that we now have 2 variations of it and that both of them are special weapons and yet we do not have a stock one to customize ourselves.
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.
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.
Awesome video bud. Your the 1st person I’ve seen with the Tier1 status. I’m aiming for that. At the moment I’m Tier25. 1/2 way there!!
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
My first play through was in arcade, enjoying the story, not paying too much attention on not getting killed 😂
Dude Tier 1 mode, is awesome, it makes the gaming experience like real life, it makes u think about things before running in and go guns blazing. I still run it every since I completed it.
I agree that it can be fun and that some entertainment can be found it playing that mode. But for the times that you just want to mess around its not for that also. When trying to do cooperatively you have to worry about that one guy that always runs in without a suppressor. lol
Z & R Gaming that's y I don't run with random people and play with friend. If I do play some random person I tell them upfront on what I like to play. I love stealth games, main reason y I bought the game, personally the game mode is something to do until pvp comes out.
I'm talking about half of my normal squad. lol Yea i understand that and the stealth was the biggest selling point for me for this game when i heard about it 2 years ago even though i have always been a big Tom Clancy fan. I hope that PVP will be out before the end of the year but do to the lack of knowledge that we are given on it im afraid to think that we might not get it until either EOY 2017 or early 2018.
Z & R Gaming PVP will be out people r being impatient, I like the fact that they r taking there time with it, giving us a good multiplayer experience rather than a rush order of PVP. I see it coming out sometime this fall in my opinion.
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.
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.
Bought an *Xbox Series X* & bought Wildlands disc on Ebay..cant wait to see how it plays & looks in
4k, ray traced with high frame rate.
30 fps no ray tracing shitty 4k
Sadly the game is capped at 30 fps.
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.
Good video man. Good points. I'm on tier level 30 something. There's a lot to consider if I want to grind to no1. Thank you.
I wish could reset the entire game when you complete all missions .
Like new game+ or something.
Even possibly on tier 1 mode the story changes
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 👍
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.
Jimmy Kitkat I appreciate the vids buddy, anything I can do to help.
I didn't know that...
Thank you for the heads up.
Dought I'd play the teir mode all the time
You sound like Danny Mcbride
well, this is ubisoft. the kings of making pointless grinding in games.
and its this way because of lootboxes and mtx.
Before Ubisoft it was EA & EA did it because mobile gaming pay to play was so lucrative. Mobile gaming ruined handheld gaming & gaming itself
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.
That's with all Ubisoft games. Just copy/paste everything. Ubisoft makes the most boring games ever. 🙄🙄
@@thedutchfisherman7078 AND the most glitches
Thanks for your perspective on this topic. I am currently starting the tier grind and was wondering what it would like as I progress through the levels... Looks like I'm gonna chill and just enjoy the game without the special weapons, etc.
I like to play in normal mode with other players too.
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.
Holy shit it never dawned on me to use tag enemy and target on the convoys o.o hahaha before now i was having to blow it up now i can tag the enemies without even going near the convoy ty for making me see an easier way to get more materials
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.
In convoy supply raids you can blow up the truck and still tag the supplies to win
new game+ wd b nice
It would i agree completely. I have always been a fan of games that following this method allowing you to restart with all of your earned equipment. Would also be another great way to give players special icons, camo's, weapons once the PVP drops if they have completed the game more than once.
i find the bad news is a gd weapon but has really bad range but apart from that it is a gd weapon n for the new game+ they cd have made it so it opens exstreme mode coz if ur a new players to this kinda game when u hit tier 2 its a 1 hit kill on u
SR 25 Jungle is a one hit in or outside of tier mode. Damn good weapon... the optic takes some getting use to though.
All I've ever played was extreme mode.
Very good. I will use this trick. Thank you
EXTREME mode after tier 35 is like sooooo unrealistic, it's still very playable tho,but you struggle to tag everyone in the area cuz nothing is shown on the freaking map and its kinda frustrating.
This is precisely what your spotting perk in the rebel supports is for.
Holy Sinner I'm on 35 rn and the game is way to hard like I just wanna have fun by myself or with friends and not dying from like 2 bullets
schnoz 2 bullets more like one the AI is godlike knows exactly where you are at all times and tier 1 is just a stupid fucking camp
The spotting perk works but not for all of the unidad trucks that freshly spawn in. And the npc’s track you too fast when you fall back to a new position.
outofAlog bro exactly man it’s retarded all that for a camo
Just got to tier 35. Extreme difficulty comes in, I resume play, and get shot roughly four times to get downed. My team gets slaughtered shortly after.
yea i dealt with the same issue. if you have an excellent team then its good to play tier mode with them. but sometimes its best to play solo.
The programming of the AI is what makes tier mode not fun. Enemies will laser beam you to death before even going through their proper animations to aim.
and playing solo...your teammate AI is horrendous. Overall, the AI in this game is absolutely the worst.
The FAL assault rifle I find is better than the bad news try it out
Nice vid. I'm going through the grind now and it's a pain. I wish u just for weapons as I don't care for the other mods.
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.
You sir, just saved me a shit ton of time
I will say this, if you like Ghost Recon Wildlands and plan to buy the sequel Breakpoint they announced that anyone who completes Tier mode will receive a special emblem in Breakpoint. So even though im not sure if i will take the time to get my other account to Tier 1 you may want to complete it if you have time if you are a collector. i will be making a video within the next week about the Breakpoint Rewards.
I just started the tier levels and as soon as I activated it, I was tier level 49. No joke
just started tier mode few days ago and it turned to extreme at level 35
yea, forces you to play that way now until you turn off tier 1 mode
They still have their abilities if you take the surpressor off when your not in tier mode
The desert HTC is UNLOCKED for all modes and one shot kills vehicles once unlocked. Not just locked to teir mode.. i havent gone to teir one yet, so idk about the other unlock though
The BDG 50 I use takes out any vehicle with the perk with one shot.
love the build save alot of time and bs on eht were really looking for..
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.
Wish there was a customizable LVOA.....
agreed
I dont know, if i want to go all the way to tier one. But i will go to tier five for the bad news. But i dont grind all the way to tier five, i just play the game and help my friends through the story. I love to kill every enemy without getting spotted. 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. I dont know.
And i dont see any difference in upgrading a weapon in terms of damage. I upgraded the AK-12 all the way to lv 30 and i dont see any difference at all. As everyone has, i have my personal go to weapons. Its the AK-12, M4A1, P90, Scorpion EVO 3 and the MSR. Yes i have the Desert Tec but i dont use it that much.
The desert tech HTI doesnt use explosive rounds. Otherwise a silencer would be worthless if you hear an explosion.
Vehicle-dmg changes. You can test that with shotguns. In extreme one shot destrois the vehicle. In arcade it tales 4-5 shots with the shoty
The SR25 Jungle kills everything with one shot.
If you get the VHC damage skills everything is a one shot on any difficulty with either HTI
The thing that this game is missing is the ability to upgrade your vehicles. I think they should have been some upgrades to vehicles to have more firepower or armor plates around the chassis and body. Also Tier 1 would have been better if you could upgrade your character's armor and not just the cosmetic look and feel.
I agree, wasn't enough incentive to go back and play again with it on.
I'm only doing tier 1 because i started it haha I agree, I believe if you reach tier 1, you should be able to transfer over to another mode, thank you for this vid. I hate extreme by the way haha
I use the m4 sniper rifle if u level up the damage enough in tier mode its the best rifle in the game with its fire rate and handling
Thank you for this vid bro
Maxed out el obsequio one shots vehicles armored or not at 80meters.HTI bdc shoots regular bullets, not explosive bullets.
What I love of tier mode you need play stealth or go home in body bag am now T27
What dont like is you can onlye upgrade dmg and not rest of stats.
i do like the stealth aspect as it is the main reason i got the game we(Reaper & Zombie) are efficient enough as a team to go through a base stealth majority of the time quietly and quickly but if trying to play with other while in Tier One mode if they mess up(I have friends who enjoy the spray and pray. lol) then Tier One mode can seriously wear on you.
You can one shot a helo with a regular 50 cal sniper..
Dude, get the sr25 jungle, kills everything one shot negligable bullet drop. 20 round mag
And get the G2 assault rifle, beautiful accuracy ,great rate of fire. Great with GL.
If i ever move back to Wildlands i will have to give that a try
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
Email the devs and show them how many poeple agree with you
Thanks bud 🤜🏻🇺🇸🤛🏻
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
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.
I played up to the tier 25 and I'm done lmao
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.
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.
I stopped after I got the LVOA-C at Tier5. Can´t handle the grind anymore.
I understand, not to mention once you get to Tier 1 you unlock a weapon skin that you are unable to actually use on the 2 weapons that you were awarded in Tier one mode. I believe they should of given us a pistol at Tier 1 if not before so we had a Tier weapon in each slot.
I guess maybe it's just that spawn point I play on the PS4 so I'm not sure I've never seen anything like that
Only time I got tier 1 was in Ghost mode for the skin/prestige credits. Never doing that again looool
yea i got pretty far doing it in ghost mode but died. was so pissed.
Wel if you start the game again from scratch and before your do the first area do the first mission then go to inca do that go to la cruz do most of that go to montu punchu jungle do a bit of that go to midina watever its called were el muro is do that then do the hole sercutiy mission your will b rank 30
Mission all of sercutiy mission and blokes
You can go get wat u need in differnt places as well jus to chip away at it
Well chief you were wrong whenever you started saying explosive rounds
anyone else still play this game? and who else really only plays tear 1 for the resources?
Just completed Tier 1 Ghost Mode last night, and long story short, no. Managed to get a few cool items from crates, but not worth the time I spent grinding for em’.
I'm extremely disappointed in the LVOA-C Bad News. I was hoping it would one or two shot enemy AI which are alerted and in combat.
I agree I'm at tier 3, this news is heart breaking,..WTF......
Only reason I think it was worth my time is for the LVOA. The sniper ehhhhhh
I like how people flip out because there forces to play in extreme difficulty yet since the second I start any game I go to the hardest difficulty and turn off most of the hud and settings
White Wolf
This^
Careful. We have a real badass over here. A tried and true operator.
True though.
People flip out so you decide to brag?
I thought this Tier would be a school of hard knocks, but I didnt realize I started the game on Advanced with minimap off anyways... so the adjustment wasnt major, but its still a pain in the ass.
I want tier one just for the extreme difficulty. That's its only worth for me. Had this game on release and still havnt unlocked it yet unfortunately.
How? Ive been playing 3 days and am Level 33 in Tier 1 mode.
