It’s good to see the tweeks and changes across the alpha and betas. Here are some niggly issues from the open Beta I have noticed:

1. Sync shot drone this is fiddly to use. Highlighting a spotted enemy through ads to make their icon go bold and then pressing L1 (on PS4) is fiddly with low zoom scopes and weapon sway. I do not appear to be able to use it through the main drone either - is that intended?

2. Helicopters with shattered cockpit - even without a collision, the cockpit glass is shown shattered - even with a gentle landing.

3. Menu lag - Wildlands’ menus were clunky at times, but these menus whilst well designed are slow to react to input. This is enough to be noticeable but not enough to impede their use.

4. SAM sites - having altitude in the helicopter HUD would help players stay below SAM or drop to a safe level.

5. Custom look - this is still off a beat. I want a custom look and do have the option to do this, but still have to manage my gear. I equipped ghillie bottoms in my custom look and in my actual gear too. When I equipped a high rated gear in place of my ghillie bottoms they changed in my ‘locked’ custom look too. It was a pain navigating menus to maintain a look but still having to change gear.

6. Dialogue - I was skipping dialogue when talking to NPCs so I can enjoy it in the full game. At the end of each discussion it kicked me out and I had to go through the talk menus just to ask a second point. Can it just loop me back to the discuss option when one conversation ends?

Overall I’m hopeful for the game and looking forward to my preorder!
