Remedy’s Free ‘Breakpoint’ Overhaul for FBC: Firebreak Arrives Sept. 29 Across All Platforms

Remedy frames the update as the first step in a broader recovery plan following the game’s rocky June launch.

Overview

  • Breakpoint replaces the Job Board with a rotating Crisis Board that refreshes every 30 minutes, with 4–6 curated Crises active and a Quick Reinforce option to join ongoing runs.
  • New content includes Outbreak in the Research sector, five additional enemy types, six weapons split between heavy guns and grenades, and 27 gun mods for deeper customization.
  • Onboarding is rebuilt with a playable Orientation tutorial, an introduction video, and Crisis overview videos to clarify mechanics and context.
  • Progression and economy are simplified so unlocked gear is fully powered, with streamlined currencies focused on cosmetics and Perk upgrades, plus broader quality-of-life tweaks.
  • Remedy’s roadmap schedules another major update in November adding a new mode and cross-platform voice chat, followed by a third update targeted for March 2026.
