Saddle up, lock and load — against your friends.
An open beta for the all-new Ghost War PvP mode hits on September 21 and runs through September 25. It will be a standalone beta, meaning you don’t need to own Wildlands in order to try it out.
Ghost War is a 4-on-4 team deathmatch mode featuring specialized classes in three different categories: Assault, Marksman, and Support.
We’ve got a couple of gameplay clips for you. Above, check out a match from the ‘Pilgim Retreat’ map. Below, meanwhile, the below video shows off the ‘Quarry’ map.
New gameplay mechanics, including suppressing fire and sound markers, are also being added for this mode.
