Ghost Recon Breakpoint Update 1.0.2 Goes Live Today, Tweaks Cover System

Ubisoft has announced that title update 1.0.2 for Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be released later today. It weights 7.5 GB on Xbox One and 5.4 GB on Uplay/Epic Games Store PC. PS4 users have the heaviest download at 10.6 GB but there are a number of fixes incoming.

Along with “various tweaks” to the cover system, the vehicle physics are being improved. The distance which enemies spawn near camps has also been tweaked while drone and binoculars controls should feel closer to Ghost Recon Wildlands. One highly welcome change is the time to mark enemies being reduced.

Co-op players can look forward to matchmaking and co-op joining fixes. Player level while in a group has also been rebalanced along with various other bug fixes. Check out some highlights from the patch notes below. Ghost Recon Breakpoint is out now for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Despite the harsh critical reception (check out GamingBolt’s review here), it debuted in the UK game charts in second place behind FIFA 20.
