Despite these glaring errors in AI, it's become increasingly apparent over the course of my stay in Wildlands that the title's customisable aspects are impeccable, and cosmetic alterations are no exception.

The game gives players a bevy of clothing to trick out their Ghost how they see fit, utilising real-world brands to add an extra layer of authenticity to the title. Overt and covert options are both on the table this time around, as players can choose whether or not to conform to the civilian style of their AI teammates, or instead go for a full-on military look, donning all kinds of gillie-suits, tactical vests and ballistic helmets to get the true Ghost Recon experience. Outfits can be switched out on the fly as well, though the jury is still out on whether or not different camouflage options actually benefit the title's stealth elements in any serious way.

Expect this element to get a huge boost of post-release content come launch day.
