Remedy Entertainment’s FBC: Firebreak will receive its first big content drop on September 29th with Breakpoint. It goes live at 10 AM PT and adds a new Crisis in Outbreak with players venturing into the Research Sector to halt a Mold infestation.
Breakpoint also marks a significant change to progression and how Jobs are assigned. Instead of selecting a Job, the Clearance Level, difficulty and so on, you can now access the Crisis Board, which contains four to six curated Crises. These are active for 30 minutes at a time and offer various conditions for different Jobs, varying in length, rewards, and so on.
Weapons have also been overhauled with 27 new mods added to provide much more customization and build-crafting. Breakpoint introduces three new weapons – the Semi-Automatic Rifle, Rotary Cannon, and Scattergun – and three new grenades – Freeze, Healing and the ever-scintillating Black Rock.
You can also look forward to fighting five new enemies, two Mold-focused and three on the side of the Hiss. The economy is undergoing a significant overhaul as well, and it’s easier than ever for new players to jump in with a new tutorial level, videos, and more. And to top it all off, Hank and Jerry get even more dialogue. Stay tuned for more details when Breakpoint goes live next week.
FBC: Firebreak is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our review of the launch version here.
