Intro
"The Devil´s Road" is a Classic Challenge - meaning it´s very tough !!!

As some veterans always look for new thrilling challenges after beating Daily Challenge, dabbling in Tiermode (maybe even to Tier01) and possibly even GhostMode (Permadeath).. here is your ultimate call to arms. Yes, not for the faint-hearted and you need some gear, but you will have a blast - if you survive ^^

COOP is possible, but additional restrictions apply to prevent things getting too easy.
(check ->Coop)

Once you managed to survive this hell, leave a short comment and let us know what you liked/hated. Enjoy the Wildlands in a classic and less digital scenario..

DISCLAIMER:
Don´t try this, if you are afraid to die multiple times.. it will happen! Adapt, Overcome ;D
Restrictions + LOADOUT
Difficulty: Extreme or higher (aka Tiermode)

Restrictions:
1. no drone! -> Binoculars
2. no team! -> Solo (meaning: no Sync-shot!)
3. no rebels! -> no support
4. no vehicle drops! -> steal what you need
5. no Nightvision!
6. no explosives (Mines, C4, FragGrenades) or Flares
7. fixed weapons! ->no ASR (+GL), LMG, STG
8. main weapons are "loud" -> watch sound range !!

Loadout
SNR: M1891 (loud ..SR-1, better M40A5 -- LaCruz or Commando pack)
SMG: 9mm C1 (loud ..M60 damage -- Remanzo or Commander pack)
HDG: M9 (silent ..low Penetration -- VillaVerde or Phantoms pack)
Melee: ExecutionerWristband (silent, but intense -- Oracle OP or Walker costume)

Devices: FlashGrenade + DiversionLure ONLY!

Coop (easier) - additional Restrictions
Difficulty: lower Tiermode only (Tier25 or lower)
Special Rule: "Restricted Revive" ..after 3 team-revives RESTART the current mission!!

WARNING: Each weapon can only be used once !!
  • 1 Sniper (*M1891)
  • 1 SMG (*9mmC1)
  • 1 Handgun (*M9)
  • ..yes, the 4th player has to go "melee", but can use special CQC (eg: Caveira Gloves) ^_^

It will be similar to a hardcore survival game, where you only have that one weapon in your hands. Think twice if you really want that. But after some testing this is the only solution I could come up with, otherwise Coop would melt the difficulty down.. or I would have to restrict it to 2 players max.
Still, Solo is much harder than having 1-3 helpers (more tactical, in synch and reviving buddies). That said, Coop is definitely great for team-building and actually harder than GhostMode ;-)

BRIEFING : Mission Chains & Instructions
Note: First is the mission name so you can find it easily. Second is a short description with restrictions. Last mission is the Branch-Boss. Enjoy..
PS: In Coop, try to play each mission-chain in one session.. that guarantees a great experience.

@BlueAuran: Seems you´re busy with mastering multiple games now.. enjoy :krlvlup:

Btw, I understand that KIA during mission sucks when playing Solo, but that keeps the Challenge very hard. With AI-team you would have 2 revives per encounter, but this would also mean you get Sync-Shot.. which in the end trivializes the game.

I think for that solo version you may have to give 3 lives like an old skool game in the arcade of pacman...so one quarter , 3 lives, or two resets then your on your last one...of coarse you can still scumsave I suppose...hah! Just so you know though, I will be skipping trying most of these except the ONLINE versions. I have only beaten WildLands ONCE so far as I just bought both it and BP recently (beat them both once). I also only play online stuff almost exclusively. Currently I am working on my rank in PUBG as I have another 20 levels to go or so (bought it just this week). Had a really good run yesterday where I got a full team and we had about 8 chicken dinners in a row. That game is also hardcore, before I found that team I was getting my butt handed to me by level 500 sweaty pants all over the place (Im near level 60)

@BlueAuran: If you like GhostMode and don´t mind playing Sam Fisher -meme..
still BETA stage as pushing below Tier30 is insane.. definitely the hardest way to suffer in GhostMode :brawler:

@BlueAuran: I decided to still release the Coop-Challenge for GhostMode :steamhappy:
Feel free to try... (just save your progress as I described in GhostMode Guide)

Yes, I can imagine modding this is a serious challenge. Oh well, hopefully the smart heads that are left (seems the CEO is bonkers) of UBIsoft will implement Ghost mode for BreakPoint and then people can get to modding it for the challenge. IMO it is a SLIGHTLY better game than WildLands yet lacks some basic important features that it has like of coarse Ghost Mode, and offline mode.

@BlueAuran: Glad you like it. Yes, it would be awesome to have some official MODs, but all devs are gone to other projects or left. As you might have noticed, I had to evade missions that require Explosives to make this work.
GhostMode is extremely complicated because some Boss-Missions require a certain amount of cheesing in Solo-Playthrough. Coop works actually, but my short testing felt quite hard.. not sure people want a GhostMode that is prone to kill you before reaching Lv.20 :steammocking:
I´m not even sure it´s possible to reach ElSueno that way.. so I put it on ice :grwskull:
BlueAuran 11 Apr, 2022 @ 2:54pm 
Good MOD for a worthy title. Would be nice if they could make something similar for Ghost Mode to change it yet still keep it do-able. Like some kind of new Ghost Mode challenge.

Enjoy this Veteran Challenge :krlvlup:
