The Santa Blanca cartel members are easy enough to deal with as they go down quickly and are only difficult in groups. Santa Blanca cartel members and Unidad soldiers are marked by orange and purple spots on the Tacmap, respectively. There are two main groups of enemies that you will have to face in Wildlands, and they are the Santa Blanca cartel and the Unidad soldiers. They do tend to get in trouble when you’re trying to be sneaky, so if you find that happening too much just have them stay in a hiding spot while you go get the work done. However, those who are really trying to take a stealth approach may find that it works better to have them stay behind with the hold command. You can also order them to go to a specific location to have them go into battle before you, or have them come back to you if they’re too far away. If you’re taking a guns blazing approach then they’ll put up a good fight, and you can order them to fire if they aren’t already from the Ghost Squad command wheel. If you’re playing solo then it will be up to you to guide the other 3 AI-controlled members of the Ghost squad, which can be a little shaky depending on what you’re trying to do. While the game allows you to explore everything the world has to offer in whichever order you like, if you’re not accustomed to these kinds of games then you’ll likely want to focus on the lower difficulty areas first. You’ll also be able to see a region’s difficulty when viewing it from the Tacmap, which is a good idea to do before wandering into the next area. Seeking those out will open up new missions for you to progress the story, which will also lead you to other points of interest that will fill out the map further. When you first open up the Tacmap you’ll notice that most of the areas are completely dark outside of a few major intel locations, and you’ll want to hunt those spots down first. The game’s interpretation of Bolivia is absolutely massive and stunning from a visual standpoint, and using the Tacmap regularly is vital to being able to navigate it properly.
