FBC: Firebreak is Remedy Entertainment’s fresh take on co-op shooters, stepping away from their usual story-heavy games. Following a relatively quiet launch, Remedy is set to release the game’s first major update in September, aiming to refine the early experience and introduce new content for players.
While the game has received several smaller patches since its release, this update will be the first major one, focusing heavily on player feedback and making the game more welcoming to newcomers. The developers want to help players get into the game more easily and disrupt some core systems.
The update is designed to make a difference right from the start. Here’s what Remedy is planning:
- Onboarding Improvements – The tutorial and onboarding process will receive an upgrade to help players better understand the game mechanics and systems. This should make the first few hours smoother and less confusing.
- Gunplay Upgrade – A new gun mod system will give players more control over weapon progression. Plus, three new heavy weapons will be added. Instead of starting with generic upgrades, players will begin with a more powerful version of a weapon to work with.
- Job Changes – The way players access Jobs will be revamped, along with changes to the Jobs themselves. This could change how players approach missions and objectives.
- New Job – A brand-new Job is coming, featuring a handcrafted level, three Zones, a new status effect, and two new enemies. Details are still under wraps, but it sounds like a fresh challenge awaits.
Remedy has shared a detailed article explaining the design ideas behind these changes if you want to dig deeper.
