Ghost Recon Wildlands New PC Update Lets You Turn Radios Off By Default

Ubisoft’s open world co-op shooter Ghost Recon Wildlands has just received a brand new update- update 2 finally addresses one of the more annoying issues that players had with the title, and lets you turn off radios by default.

It also streamlines some gameplay mechanics- among other things, you can choose the type of vehicle you want to spawn when using the Drop Vehicle rebel skill, and get more relevant information during gameplay if you keep the HUD off.

You can check out the full patch notes below. Ghost Recon Wildlands is available now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
