By being so methodical you increase your risk of being spotted-bad in normal missions, but disastrous in the ones that ask you not to be detected. It can be tempting to assume you should clear out a base before completing your objective. Shoot one, and you'll likely wake his nearby friends. Hit 'N', and you'll enable Night Vision, and an optional skill gives you access to Thermal Goggles, too. This should reduce the number of patrolling guards, who will also have lower visibility. Despite the AI in Wildlands being questionable, they do respond well to the environment-going to sleep at night, or taking shelter in buildings during a shower. Struggling with a mission? Wait until it's nighttime, or go in as the rain starts pouring down. With the alarms disabled, even a messy infiltration becomes easier to contain. Unlike in Far Cry, you can shoot alarm panels from afar without anybody becoming suspicious. One of the worse situations you can find yourself in is a firefight in a hostile base as the alarm is blaring-signalling to reinforcements that they should drive on up. *The word Tom is also in the title, but doesn't appear to be relevant. Grab a few drone and binocular upgrades, and take the time to tag threats, items and other interesting features. You get a heatmap of guard locations by default, but that isn't enough information to successfully enter unseen. I don't know if you've noticed, but the word 'Recon' is in the title of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands.* And Recon you should: scout each location thoroughly before you enter. You'll be thankful for it when you've progressed to the expensive advanced skills. Always grab them, even if you think you've got loads. There are loads of these to be found, and so you'll naturally find them in the outposts you are constantly infiltrating.

You'll also need resources, picked up from supplies that are marked green on your minimap. Leave no supply behindДЄ skill point isn't enough to unlock new abilities. And, if you see a blue icon on the minimap, always check it out. When you find some minor intel, be sure to pick up the middle, blue option first. But skills, weapons and attachments are almost always useful-even just for expanding your potential tactical options. The Raids offer more resources, which you'll already be collecting at a good rate. The rebel op sidequest unlocks the ability to call in resistance fighters and support-rarely that useful. These mark new events and items on your map-raids, rebel ops, skills and weapons. When you first enter an area, you'll see exclamation marks on the minimap denoting minor intel.

I've only added this tip in the hope Ubisoft will fix it in the next patch.

If you're deep in enemy territory, remember to press the crouch key again before you go sprinting off like a big, clumsy idiot, attracting everyone's attention and getting yourself killed. This is dumb, but if you tag resources or pick up a skill point while crouching, you'll be reset to standing once the animation finishes. ( Not that it's a key binding we encourage, mind you.) Picked something up? Press 'Ctrl' Is a guard about to spot you? Is a helicopter hovering overhead? Is that sniper turning your way? Tap 'C' to go prone, and it will significantly reduce your visibility, helping you stay unseen in otherwise hopeless situations.
