Ubisoft has released a massive new update for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. Title Update 21 is 21GB in size, adds new content, fixes a number of bugs and crashes, as well as other minor world issues like invisible walls or collisions.

Going into more details, this patch adds weapons and tools to the Mercenary mode. It also adds a loot log to the Mercenary mode. Moreover, it adds an adaptive system that would allow the game to start a Mercenary match without the maximum number of players.

Thanks to this latest update, players are now able to automatically loot ammo and armor pieces without the need for an input. Also, players dying in Mercenary mode no longer lose all the collected cash.

As said, this patch also comes with a number of fixes. For instance, it fixes several matchmaking issues where players were unable to find a game or remained in an infinite search. It also fixes several issues that prevented players from looting items in Mercenary mode.

As always, Steam and UPLAY will download this update the next time you launch their clients. You can also find its complete changelog below.
