Remedy Sets Sept. 29 Launch for Free 'Breakpoint' Overhaul to FBC: Firebreak

The update reframes core missions with a rotating Crisis Board to reduce repetition.

Overview

  • Breakpoint goes live September 29 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S as a no-cost update.
  • The new Crisis Board replaces the Job Board with 4–6 active crises that refresh every 30 minutes, plus Quick Reinforce and occasional Alternative Objectives.
  • Combat variety grows with Outbreak in the Research Sector, five additional enemy types, three heavy weapons, three grenades, and 27 weapon mods.
  • Onboarding adds a playable tutorial, an introduction video, and clearer harmful-condition UI, while progression shifts to fully powered gear on unlock and fewer currencies.
  • Remedy labels Breakpoint the first step, with a new mode and cross-platform voice chat planned for November and a third major update slated for March 2026.
