Operation Oracle is dropping some time today for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands, and it’s definitely a good time to prepare for the coming update. The Operation adds two brand new missions to the game, and it includes a very special star – Jon Bernthal, of The Walking Dead and The Punisher fame, is set to play Major Cole D. Walker, a Ghost operative involved in Operation Oracle. He has agendas of his own, which could cross paths with your team.

You can read more about the new story missions and the rewards you’ll receive for completing them right here. However, that’s not the only thing that’s dropping with the update; there are also some new patches for the game, particularly with regards to the Guerilla mode which launches at the start of Special Operation 4. The patch notes also detail some general fixes to come on all platforms, fixes for the store and its items, as well as balances on the PvP game mode. Here’s the full list of patch notes from the posting provided by Ubisoft:

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.

• Fixed an issue in Guerrilla mode where the player would not be moved to the lobby after accepting an invitation.

• Fixed an issue in Guerrilla mode where the player would not win the Cosmetic Rewards if they left before the Victory Score screen.

• Fixed an issue in Guerrilla mode where AI teammate's customization would reset after entering a new session.

• Fixed an issue in Guerrilla mode where you could unequip the mission.

• Fixed an audio issue in Guerrilla mode when the Game Lost Score screen is shown.

• Fixed an issue where the last NPC enemy of Guerrilla mode would despawn immediately after killing him.

• Improved replication issues present in Guerrilla mode during co-op sessions.

• Fixed an issue in Guerrilla mode where a Game Over can be triggered without the timer being displayed.

• Fixed an issue where some skills bonuses could be canceled by changing the difficulty during a Guerrilla mode session.

• Fixed an issue in Guerrilla mode where the shopkeeper's subtitles and voice over would be cut off due to the ending screen.

• Fixed an issue in Guerrilla mode where enemy alert levels would downgrade to Undetected / Suspicious under certain circumstances.

• Fixed an issue where all weapons and attachments bought in Guerrilla mode appeared as "New" in the main game afterward.

• Fixed an issue preventing to unlock Survivor pants and Survivor shirt cosmetic items in Ghost Mode after winning Guerrilla mode.

All Platforms

• Removed the requirement to complete Silent Spade and Snafu missions to unlock the Mission Master trophy.

• Fixed a localization issue where there was no spacing between Continue Campaign text for Asian localizations.

PC

Store + Items

• Fixed a visual issue with the ACU shirt clipping with female character costume parts.

• Fixed an issue where players would not receive their bonus XP from XP boosters.

• The Night Vision effect from Fast Panoramic NVGs, Fast Special NVGs, and High Cut Spec. NVGs no longer use the old Night Vision (Green) filter, instead of using the newer (yellow) filter.

• Fixed an issue forbidding the player from buying Crates & Boosters in DLCs.

PvP

All Platforms

• Limited the number of simultaneous mines deployable by the Sapper's drone to 3.

• Reduced the health of Sapper’s drones to bring it more in line with the drones used by Medic and Guerrilla classes.
