Ubisoft has released a major update for the online shooter Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. What exactly does it bring and can it satisfy the players?
What are the highlights of the new update? Ghost Recon: Breakpoint launched with issues and failed to convince both players and the press. Ubisoft announced to initiate a somewhat longer improvement process. We now see the first step:
- Stamina: Base stamina has been increased by 66% and stamina regeneration rate by 75%. Additionally, the stamina consumed while sliding has been reduced by 50%.
- Camera Adjustment: The camera can now be set to aim over your character’s other shoulder
- New Missions: Two new tasks have been introduced where you are to prevent the spread of a virus
- Balancing and Bugs: There are a number of adjustments to balancing and bugs have been fixed.
A good update, but…
What is the most important thing? The stamina system has been criticized since the beginning. Every action in the game consumes stamina quickly, which has frustrated many players.
How are players reacting to the update? The community is pleased with the update and the many changes and adjustments. Especially the new stamina system is well received.
- itahedge83 says on Reddit: “Thanks for the update. Keep it up, because we need more of this type of communication.”
- destinyplayer1 writes: “A lot of stuff in the patch. Good job!”
- Dark_Chris_6 agrees: “That’s a lot of fixes. Good job. Don’t forget that the next update is already planned for the end of the month.”
… there has to be much more to come
Is there also criticism? With the update, Ubisoft has taken the first of many steps to improve Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. The initial changes have been fairly well received. However, the task is simply much larger, which naturally brings criticism. Therefore, there are several things that players already wished for this update.
- Bugs are still present. For instance, the vests do not display the correct number of magazine pouches for the respective weapons and binoculars can simply disappear.
- Some players still slide down any slope just like that.
- The game still crashes sporadically.
- There are still graphical errors.
- While there are new missions, the content is still too thin for some.
- The thermal imaging does not work correctly.
Therefore, there are of course players who complain:
- Rawkus18 writes: “Good job fixing so many bugs that shouldn’t have been in the game at release.”
Ubisoft is working on Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and as you can see, the updates bring improvements. However, it will still take longer until the online shooter is in a state it should have been at release.
