In Ghost Recon Breakpoint, a large part of the game can be skipped by going straight to the end of the story and defeating the final boss. However, this is a tough task and is hardly achievable for most players.
How do you approach the final boss so quickly? In Ghost Recon Breakpoint, you face the former Ghost Cole D. Walker. He kills your teammates, who were once his friends, in the tutorial.
Your task is to eliminate Walker. He doesn’t even hide from you. The mission is available from the start. However, it’s actually too difficult to complete directly – unless you’re really good.
Special Challenge: Kill the final boss at the beginning
Why would you want to rush through? Breakpoint has received considerable criticism from many fans of the Ghost Recon series because the loot system and other “games as a service” features obstruct the true gaming experience of the “Ghost Recon” series.
Ghost Recon is known as a tactical shooter where players require skill, not gear, to win.
The fact that Walker can be defeated as the first mission aligns more with the spirit of the series and could especially encourage players who do not want to grind but seek a challenge.
Defeating Walker immediately – extremely difficult, but doable
How hard is it really? To find Walker, you must locate and interrogate his officers in the open world. They will then reveal to you exactly where Walker is located. It will take a few attempts before you figure out precisely where he is.
The battles against the officers and their entourage can be a bit tougher, but headshots take out most enemies instantly. The blueprints from the shop could make it easier for you.
However, since the enemies are superior to you at this point, they can detect you more easily and raise the alarm.
All of this makes the way to Walker a true challenge. If you handle it skillfully, you’ll soon discover that Walker is located at Howard Airfield in Sinking Country.
Underleveled and having fun
This is how tough Walker is: The fortress itself is actually designed for players with an item level of 150. It is teeming with enemies that you must take out one by one. If you’re lacking the equipment, you must proceed carefully because an alarm certainly means death.
After a while, you will discover in the fortress that Walker is located in the large building right in the center. However, you can only enter if you destroy a Behemoth drone that is guarding it.
The drone is probably the biggest challenge, as it is one of the “bullet sponge” enemies. You will need a lot of skill and, ideally, several teammates to take it down, especially if you are under-equipped for this task.
Afterward, the way to Walker is clear, and you can take him out.
Finish Breakpoint even faster – with a glitch
How can it be done even faster? If you don’t want to fight your way through the fortress, you can even kill Walker in the tutorial. This was discovered by YouTuber Gmony Mozart:
The individual steps are:
- Visit the first wreck in the tutorial
- Do not visit the second, but go directly to the third wreck
- This triggers a cutscene, and you can visit the social hub Erewhon
- Here you must talk to Maria and obtain a subsonic grenade launcher from her
- Then go back to the second wreck
- A scene triggers where Walker tries to take off with his helicopter
- Fire with the grenade launcher at the helicopter, and Walker is history
However, this ending probably does not trigger the actual closing scene of the game – but it ensures that you can blow out the villain’s candles in just a few minutes.
