Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed
The Ruthlessly Unforgiving Tactical Shooter Experience
Hardcore realism, with nonlinear play, real-world physics, and smart AI.
Infinite replayability, with tons of maps, missions, units, and equipment.
Introduction
Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed offers a ruthlessly unforgiving tactical FPS experience by maximizing realism in every aspect of the game. Weapons match their real-life counterparts in accuracy, effectiveness, and handling. AI displays terrifying acumen in trying to outmaneuver you. Missions take place in open-world locations and are entirely nonlinear, with a minimum of scripted events and utmost randomization, for infinite replayability.
Heroes Unleashed pushes tactical realism to the extreme, setting it light years apart from anything you are accustomed to in today’s ubiquitous action shooters. One shot can kill. There is no magical healing, fantasy gear, sci-fi enemy markers, handholding, or guide towards certain victory. It is just you and your squad, on your own behind enemy lines, with caution as your best bet to survive.
Whether you choose to play online or alone, with friends or AI, Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed delivers a rivetingly realistic squad-based military combat you won’t find anywhere else.
No magical healing. No fantasy gear. No sci-fi enemy markers. No handholding. No guide towards victory.
Just you and your squad, on your own deep behind enemy lines, with caution as your best bet to survive.

It’s insane. The dedication is truly amazing"

BOT Chicken
"Wholly crap this is epic! Just the size of the download: bigger than the game and its official expansions combined by several orders of magnitude! The commitment, labor of love, man hours spent building this without the 'official channel ' of recognition, and that people will spend hundreds of hours playing this, without million dollar ad campaigns to psych them up to make that effort, is testament to what's offered here... Simply amazing!"

"This mod is the best out there."
[srod]
"Big thanks. I must say, this mod is almost perfect. The weapon models are so beautifully built and skinned, the character skins look really cool, AI overhaul makes the game much more playable, as does the weapon rebalancing. The amount of kit selection is amazing, it always takes me a bit to set up my teams because of the massive selection, and it's not a bad thing. It actually makes kit selection pretty fun! The classified missions are great, I love the challenge of having to be prepared for anything. Adds to the authentic feel of a black operation. All in all, I'd say that this mod encompasses a lot of what Ghost Recon was all about and what it could have been. Quite unfortunate that the whole franchise strayed away from the tactical shooter genre. Cheers Apex, this is gonna be one of the only games I play for a while now."

nyleken
"You want a new game? Listen to me...REALLY! Since a few years I search and buy a lot of FPS, because I want a realistic tactical shooter game... and one day I find the Heroes Unleashed mod for Ghost Recon. Since this day I forgot the ArmA series, the Rainbow Six series, Squad, and all of the other war games. This mod changes the game in all aspects. The original game is very cool, but with this mod it is THE BEST TACTICAL SQUAD GAME OF ALL TIME!"

GreyHaired
"Congrats Apex! Your mod is hands down one of the most well put together mods of any mod from any game I've played. I love the level of attention to detail on everything, that amount of polish and consistency is something I'd compare to a Rockstar developed game. I'm sure I can speak for the silent Heroes Unleashed fans, the ones who may not use this site, or the ones who populate Steam or YouTube or any corner of the internet, or the quiet ones who simply just download and play. We thank you for this mod and the continued development."

"Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed is awesome! Hundreds of maps and weapons and a perfect mix of slow-paced tactical gameplay and action-packed firefights. With the Heroes Unleashed mod, Ghost Recon looks and feels brand new and kicks the ever-loving sh*@ out of modern shooters!"
Jjaro
"THANK YOU!"
Forn
"I thought I was good at FPS until I tried Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed and completely got my ass kicked by enemy AI. This mod is pure hardcore! Forget about CoD, MW, BF, OFP, ArmA, etc. - NOTHING(!) in the world of shooters comes close to the suspense you'll experience playing this. Bricks will be shat!"
Jack Stone
"Simply amazing!"
Peter W.
"Wow. Just WOW! Great mod. A slew of weapons, new weapon sights that look really good. Missions....again. WOW. There are hundreds of missions. Missions are also randomly generated when played, with some really interesting objectives. The mod brings a whole new life to the game."
Apocalypse
"Having a blast! The only mod I'm using is Heroes Unleashed. In 2016, I played a lot of Insurgency but it's not really tactical. In 2017, I played a lot of Wildlands but it definitely lacks something that Ghost Recon has."
