I got Wildlands the other day but only played a few hours worth. I cranked up all the difficulty parameters to max and made good progress (initially, almost too easy) then finally got killed the very first time in the most humiliating way, hit by a Bolivian civilian in an econo box while running across the road without looking. My squad mates tried to heal me but the commotion drew the attention of the cartel members in a technical I was trying to flank and they shred all of us with a fifty cal.
