Oh I'm glad you asked !

First of all, improves nearly everything graphics wise ( except the main menu UI, that's still hard locked to 640 resolution for some reason. ), including the UI, higher resolution textures on player models, gun models ( though there is still no first person weapon model, just the ones you see in the hands of teammates and enemies in the third person. ), enemies, terrain, objects and effects like rain, bullet holes and gun smoke and more !

Cleaner audio, and even better positional audio, if you got a good pair of head phones you can pin point PRECISELY where the bullets or footsteps are coming from.

More realistic ballistics ! Weapons are allegedly fine tuned to match their real life counter parts in many ways, like how easy the gun is to handle and maneuver around with, the penetration power, the weapon's sounds, models, attachments and mag cap.

Reticle matches the sights that the gun has. For example, if your weapon has a Holo Sight, then your reticle will look like it. The weapon will only have a zoom option ( aka mouse wheel up or down / R and T ) if it has a non CQC sights like an ACOG. Also when zooming in with weapons that do have such sights, the sights themselves pop up, giving you a realistic level of peripheral vision like as though you were actually looking down the sights, zoom levels are also calibrated to their real life counterparts, so an ACOG won't zoom in as much as a proper sniper scope etc etc.

GUNS GUNS GUNS ! non specialist units have ATLEAST 300 kits, specialists have around 400+ and also have unique weapons that non specialists don't have access to.

New Maps and Campaign. Enough said ! Though please don't beat up on ApexMods ( the mod creator ) whenever he does his own voice over mission briefing for his custom maps, he is just one guy and did his best... oh yeah did I mention !?

APEXMODS MADE THE ENTIRE MOD ALL BY HIMSELF AND IT TOOK HIM 15 YEARS TO DO IT ALL !

So... be thankful it's completely free.

There is more added, but I can't get over them all or else I'd be stuck on this section forever, here is his trailer for the mod, the description gives a bit more information about it all but not by much.

Well... you didn't have to be so rude about it... :(

This is the official download link for the mod on ModDB, get the first link v1.0.1 FULL VERSION, not the DEMO.

Now wait for an eternity... the server hosting the download is pretty shoddy, it's around 9GBs compressed in a zip file and once you are done with the guide, it will take around an additional 15-20 GBs depending if you keep the zip file around or not. Go make a coffee, get a family and watch Star Citizen officially leave Beta.

Once downloaded, find your way to your to your steam directory -> steamapps -> common -> Ghost Recon -> Mods

(My Library is on Local Disk C because my hard drive is FUBAR, your's will probably be in F or something. )

Now open up the Zip file you took a lifetime to download and drag Heroes Unleashed ( Yes, the entire singular folder ) into the mods folder. It may not take time for you for everything to be copied over but it took me a literal hour so... proceed with caution.


After all that, you think you'd be done ? Bold of you to assume we live in a perfect world. Launch the game and head over to options, go over to the Mods tab, click on Heroes Unleashed, and select activate. It should take the name to the right side from the left, click accept to lock in the change. Now get the hell out of the game, some of the mod's effects do not take effect until you restart the game. You'll know you've done it right when you
A. Get a completely new intro video
B. Get a completely new mouse cursor, main menu image and background music.




Voila !

You are done ! Now, I hope you found this guide helpful, pleas- wait... where are you going ?!


You're..... you're leaving huh ?....


Okay then... I'll just stay here... forever alone in the primordial abyss that lives in every mind.

Is anyone there ?
