Standard dirt bikes in Wildlands are fast but fragile. The Esso changes this.
Visually, it looks like a 19th-century inventor’s nightmare—complete with a massive copper boiler instead of a gas tank and a sidecar that houses a coal-powered turbine.
The centerpiece of the pack is the Whisper. Unlike standard .50 cal rifles (HTI, MSR), the Whisper incorporates fictional coilgun technology wrapped in brass housing.

To review the STEAMPUNKS release of Ghost Recon Wildlands is to review two distinct things: the quality of the crack/technical execution, and the game itself. At the time of its release, this was arguably one of the most significant scene drops of the year, offering players a pristine, DRM-free experience of a game that was previously burdened by heavy Denuvo protection.
The DLC gestures toward anti-establishment themes (the Steampunks’ manifesto criticizes “digital slavery”) but never allows the player to side with or negotiate with them. The Ghosts, as agents of US intervention, become defenders of the very surveillance order the Steampunks oppose.

Surprisingly, the Steampunk outfit (the Victorian Gear set) offers a unique hybrid advantage.
Verdict: Equip this outfit for night ops or high-altitude missions. Avoid it for daytime jungle assaults.
By coding the Steampunks as eccentric, irrational, and dangerous, the game aligns steampunk with terrorism – a common trope in Clancy-branded media where non-mainstream ideologies are pathologized. Verdict: Equip this outfit for night ops or
The “Steampunks” DLC for Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a missed opportunity. While its visual design is striking, the narrative reduces a potentially interesting anarcho-technologist faction to target practice. Steampunk, as a genre, imagines alternative technological histories and decentralized power; the game’s military framing neutralizes that potential. In the end, the DLC is less a commentary on resistance than a reminder that in Tom Clancy’s universe, the only legitimate use of advanced technology is by state-sanctioned operatives.
The identifier refers to a pirated release of the video game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands. It was created by the software cracking group STEAMPUNKS. This release is notable because it bypasses the Denuvo digital rights management (DRM) protection, which was historically considered one of the most difficult DRM schemes to circumvent.
