Tips

Enhance your Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands online experience with essential tips on etiquette, host communication, and server stability. Avoid kicks and bans.

Here are some tips I think you should know before going online to play.

• If you are a little kid reading this, it would not be a good idea to not be bratty when talking to people on LIVE. I'm not saying all little kids are bratty but some of the mature servers will just kick you out if you get too defensive about yourself. Just a warning.
• Don't take the place of the host in the room. What I mean is, don't tell such and such people to go red and the others go blue, telling everyone to hurry up and ready up, telling some people to go observer, etc. The host 98% of the time will be able to handle all of this and doesn't need your help.
• When a host goes observer and away from the game, you can earn a bad reputation if you do not ready up. If you just stay unchecked for a long time, people will start to leave because they can do nothing about you. A lot of the time too people will give you bad feedback. If enough bad feedback is accumulated, your account will temporairily be suspended.
• When a host asks you specifically not to bring a certain weapon into the game, don't bring that weapon. Many times the server may have the kit restriction on No Sensors or None and ask you not to bring launchables. The reason why he asks you this (for the most part) is because he probably can't hold people when they choose explosives. The host will most likely kick you out of the room if you don't follow his guidelines.
• No, it's not funny when you start a team game and kill everyone and then leave. Many times you will get bad feedback for this and that can suspend your account and earn you a bad reputation.
• When you join a room and they just started the game, wait a few seconds and see if they back out. Nothing is more annoying than someone joining in a game and the server backing out only to find that you left. If the server doesn't back out after about 15 seconds, you can leave if you want or stay if you know he has a good server.
• If a server asks you not to bring launchables into the game, it would not be a good idea to use the stationary grenade launcher or machine gun. This can put a lot of stress on the server if no one is dead and after awhile, the server may not be able to hold it and the room will shut down.
• If you get kicked from a room, don't automatically assumje the host hates you. Half the time he is too busy to explain why or you will get kicked out for a specific reason. If he doesn't tell you why, it can be one of two things: the host can be hosting a clan match and that's an automatic kick out of the room if he doesn't explain it to you and the other reason can be that the server cannot hold any more people and doesn't want to explain that to you. You can also get kicked out of a room for not doing what the server asks.
• If you don't have a headset for online play, it would be a good idea to get one. Mainly because the host may ask you questions. When you don't respond he may think that you are ignoring him and he may kick you. Not all people check the online options to see if you have a headset or not. Not everybody will kick you but some will, just a warning.
