Ghost Recon Wildlands 1.28 Update Patch Notes Highlights
The main highlight of the Ghost Recon Wildlands 1.28 update patch notes is, of course, the two brand new missions that have been added to the game. Free for all players to enjoy, these new objectives will have players fighting alongside Major Cold D. Walker, a fellow Ghost Team Leader with his own agenda. He is portrayed by Jon Bernthal. Completing these two missions will earn two unique rewards: the Executioner CQC Finisher, which is enabled by equipping Walker’s bracelet; as well as the Walker Tattoo, which allows you to mirror the look of Bernthal’s character.
In addition to the free content update, Ubisoft is hosting a free weekend during May 2-5. This will be available across all supported platforms, so PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Also featured within the new update today is a bunch of PvE and General Fixes for the game’s Guerrilla Mode, in addition to fixes to the PvP game types. What’s more, bug fixes have been implemented across all platforms, with some extra, PC-specific solutions coming to those rocking personal computers. Changes to the Store have also been made.

BUG FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
PvE/General Fixes
Guerrilla Mode
We’ve been following the feedback from our community regarding Guerrilla mode at the launch of Special Operation 4. We believe several issues were contributing to the difficulty, including errors with matchmaking and launching sessions without full squads.
Our team has taken care to address those issues, which we hope will help create a more balanced experience in Guerrilla mode.
• Improved Guerrilla mode’s matchmaking process, which launched sessions after a friend joined a player in Matchmaking search before four players were present.
• Fixed an issue in Guerrilla mode where the game would start without forming a full squad in public matchmaking.
