NEW FEATURES

• Regroup – Teammates come back to the players.
• Go To – Teammates go to a designated position.
• Cleared Hot – Teammates engage with enemy, seeking cover nearby.
• Hold Position – Teammates go to the closest cover and stick to their position.

To learn more about the AI Teammates, check out our deep dive article.

LIVE EVENT 2

Like in TU 1.1.0, [Ghost Recon team] are bringing new limited content for two weeks. Live Event 2 will start on July 16 and will end on July 29.

 

This event will bring out 9 new missions:

• 3 hostages rescue missions
• 3 convoy ambush missions
• 3 camp assault missions

 

Those missions will be available for players to pick in the Objectives Board. Each mission fills a gauge that will unlock exclusive time-limited rewards. The missions will be playable again by players once the event is over, but it will not grant more rewards.

 

[Ubisoft] will release our full mission briefing for Live Event 2 on Wednesday, July 15.

 

GUNSMITH & WEAPON UPDATE

To improve the customization in the Gunsmith, [Ubisoft] has added the ability for players to select a firing mode by choosing two kinds of trigger: single fire or burst. Whichever mode the player chooses, it will only impact the shots fired and not have any impact on the damage done.

• Single fire – one bullet fired per pressure on the trigger.
• Burst – three bullets fired per pressure on the trigger.

 

To read more about the updates coming to the Gunsmith and various weapons in TU 2.1.0, check out our dedicated article.

 

WEAPONS & ATTACHMENTS OBJECTIVE BOARD UPDATE

 

In order to make the objective board menu more valuable and engaging to players, information about weapons and attachments is no longer hidden by default.

 

Even if you have not discovered any intel about a weapon/attachment, it will now show up on the board as a grey tile with the name and silhouette to indicate the weapon family it belongs to.

 

Once you have found intel on the weapon/attachment, it will now have a tag to easily indicate where it can be acquired. These tags include PvP, Maria’s Shop, Missions, Raid, Ubisoft Club, and Classes Rank 10.

 

ALERT MESSAGES

 

Players were missing alert messages in HUD due to settings, so visual improvements were made in the messages to fit the HUD settings. Messages were adapted to be displayed with a discrete visual. The immersive mode does not show alert messages anymore except for “warning” and “immediate action.”

• “Informative” & “attention” messages:
  • No loop
  • No faded stripes
  • Smaller width and text
• “Warning” message:
  • Textless bold
  • Slower animation loop
  • Smaller width
• “Critical” message:
  • Faster animation loop

 

PROJECT TITAN: NEW INTEL GATHERING PHASE VARIATIONS (OUT ON JULY 21)

New variations to the intel gathering phase between bosses have been added to the raid pool to bring players more variety. Those variations include new information about objectives and new intel for players to collect, which provide different associated stories for each raid boss.

 

As a reminder, Project Titan resets every Tuesday at 9:00 AM UTC so there will be different intel, objectives, and stories each week for players.

• 5 new intel-gathering phase variations in Sector 1
• 5 new intel-gathering phase variations in Sector 2
• 3 new intel-gathering phase variations in Sector 3
