The ending has 2 alternate versions

The ending cinematic for Ghost Recon Wildands, featuring EL Sueno, Bowman and the ghost team.

Spoiler Alert!
Version one unlocks when you beat two bosses from any of the 4 different wings.

Version two unlocks when you beat all 4 different wings.

I was expecting a very hard mission against El Sueno but it turned out to be just cinematic with story telling. Good closure to the story line at least, both endings have a interesting twist involving agent Bowman.

Post-Launch Features

Expected Post-Launch features coming to Ghost Recon Wildlands

Listed here is what to expect coming after the launch of the game as free patch updates.

Updates for Season Pass holders include 2 expansions.


  • Ghost Recon Wildlands: Narco Road
    • Go undercover to investigate 3 new gangs 
    • New Vehicles

  • Ghost Recon Wildlands: Fallen Ghosts

Season Pass Exclusives
  • 3 Ghost Packs
  • Exclusive Vehicle
  • Permanent XP Boost
  • Early Access to both Narco Road and Fallen Ghosts
  • And More

4 vs 4 Tactical PVP Mode

Free update coming post-launch will feature 4 vs 4 Tactical PVP Mode.


Well its time to get ready ladies and gentlemen, a pvp mode has just been announce for Ghost Recon: Wildlands. You will need to have a team of 4 players to go up against another group of 4 in what looks like a drop zone area with each team taking up different sides of the map. In the center of the map appears to be a "Intel" cache of sorts.

I would assume this is a game mode of get to the data before the other team does sort of a deal. We still don't know if their will be a ranking or ladder system. No idea if their are special rewards or gear obtained from pvp mode. I guess we are going to have to stay tune to the new updates coming out post-launch for more details.
