5.11® And Ubisoft® Release Exclusive Video Series For Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Wildlands

The 5.11 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon^® Tactics video series features elite operators utilizing 5.11 gear and the real-world tactics that the Wildlands' Ghosts use in-game to battle the Santa Blanca Cartel. The videos will be launched across 5.11's and Ubisoft's social media channels on March 6, 2017, in advance of the game's debut on March 7.

"Elite tactical teams around the world rely on 5.11's purpose-built gear to complete their most demanding missions," said Willem Driessen, 5.11's vice president, global marketing. "In our video series, players will see how the best gear and the right tactics prepare real-world operators for successful missions. They can then apply what they learn to defeat the Santa Blanca Cartel in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands."

Set a few years in the future, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon^® Wildlands allows players to lead a team of Ghosts, a four-player U.S. Elite Special Operations unit, on a covert mission to eliminate the Santa Blanca drug cartel, an underworld power and growing global threat within Ubisoft's imagining of an incredibly beautiful, yet dangerous Bolivia. 

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon^® Wildlands takes place in the largest and most diverse action-adventure open world Ubisoft has created to date. With hundreds of villages and well-known landmarks, local legends and various factions and regions, players venture into a vast world with which to interact and explore.

The Ghosts' upgradable skills, along with a vast arsenal of weapons, vehicles and drones at their disposal, help them take down the enemy. Players can outfit characters in their favorite 5.11 gear and apparel including the TacTec Plate Carrier, RUSH backpacks and Apex™ pants. Players also have a wide variety of vehicles and state-of-the-art weapons technology to select from, along with total freedom to choose how they accomplish their missions. They can then watch as the world reacts to their actions.

"5.11's reputation for authenticity and innovation is lock-step with the pillars of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon^® franchise," said Adam Novickas, Ubisoft's vice president of marketing and brand management. "Incorporating 5.11 gear into Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon^® Wildlands reinforced our ability to create a realistic open world military shooter experience for our fans."

"Military and law enforcement operators are no longer the only users of tactical gear," Driessen said. "Millions of people lead a tactical lifestyle on a daily basis, choosing to always be prepared for whatever comes their way. From our rugged backpacks to our performance, purpose-built pants, men and women of all backgrounds use 5.11 apparel and gear."  

5.11 will promote the video series, and the in-game product integration in their stores and online on 511tactical.com, and across its social media platforms.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon^® Wildlands will be available on all major consoles and PC on March 7, 2017.
