    How to replay intro video from the 1st mission?

    So I was getting GR:W set up for my wife, and finally was successful. However when I did so the introductory cinematic kicks off with Karen Bowman giving the briefing for the 1st mission. As that part of the story is reasonably entertaining I don't want my wife to miss out on seeing that part of the video. So how to I get that video to replay? It is ok if I need to completely restart the mission.

    What platform are you on? I'm on PC. The file path to the videos on my comp is:

    E:/Program Files/Ubisoft Game Launcher/ Games/Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands/ videos

    The videos are all .bk2 files. When I ran a search at the Microsoft Store for an app/program to open one of the .bk2 files; the search took me to a .99 cent download called Rhino Player.

    It is difficult to tell which video is which by their file names, as they're all called stuff like: VIDEO_INTRO_105.BK2 ----------------------and there are a lot of them in the video folder. Good luck!

    UPDATE: Just read some info saying a .bk2 is a Bink Video format introduced in 2013, and that a Bink Video Player will open them.

    Under Continue Campaign there's a Select Campaign Save option. If it's a brand new play through you started for here, scroll to the save you made for her, and just Delete it (Del on PC). Now just Select Slot again and start her a whole new campaign. Just make sure she's there to see it when you do.

    The main drawback to doing this is if you changed any graphics or control settings, you'll have to set all that up again. Note that the only way to replay a mission entirely is after already having played all the way through it, right click on the province it's in, select it from the mission list that shows in the box, and choose Restart Mission. You have to be far enough away from the mission starting point though. It will warn you when you aren't.

    You could play through the whole mission then choose Mission Replay without having to reset graphics and controls options. The only difference with Mission Replay is you get white text on the HUD instead of yellow indicating you're on a replay. That said, in my experience La Plaga, one of the missions near end game, most always has a progression stopping bug on Mission Replay, but it's never had that on a non replay play through for me.
