The Phantoms also known as Shadow Team are a group which are secretly striking against the Ghosts before disappearing 20 years into the future. Born in darkness, the Phantoms challenge US imperialism and answer to no one. A deadly group of ex-Ghosts, they are equally armed and seek to dismantle world order.
History[]
Their first operation against the Ghosts was to steal ATHENA Corp. information from Xinyi, Taiwan. Specter Team was killed. G1U, Deuce, Bard and Virgil were part of Shadow Team.
The Phantoms also killed Allen and Bob, but a third Ghost escaped. They are the team's deadliest enemies and are formed from ex-Ghosts and other individuals who are seeking their own anti-US imperialism agenda.
Later, they assigned Specter Team to an ATHENA Corp. facility in Taiwan. Shadow Team managed to steal the information, but their stolen information was recaptured by the Ghosts' Yankee Team. They left behind a wounded member to lead the Ghosts into a trap in Pakistan.
Raid on the Phantoms' headquarters[]
The Ghosts successfully raid the Phantoms' compound, and recover information, with Shadow Team escaping again. Yankee Team is then captured by the Omega Company, which has an unknown connection to ATHENA Corp. Bard's team then helped them escape, which then lead to the Ghosts and Phantoms forming an alliance.
Siege on Athena[]
The Phantoms and Ghosts formed a plan to raid ATHENA. Shadow Team was tasked with uploading a virus which would disable security protocals and render defenses useless.
Notes[]
The Phantoms were added to the free-to-play multiplayer shooter Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online as part of the Phantom Pack upgrade on July 10, 2013. Players may receive rewards from the Phantom mission by acquiring up to 100 million points.
As part of the official release in April 2014, the Phantoms are part of the "narrative layer". According to the game's producer Corey Facteau, they were envisioned as being "gray characters" to better reflect today's reality. They are also seen as two-parts of the same coin with the Ghosts.
