Eind vorig jaar had er een forse update voor Ghost Recon: Breakpoint moeten verschijnen, maar Ubisoft stelde die update toen uit naar januari. Vandaag is het zover, de update is uitgerold en het betreft hier versie 1.1.0. Deze update komt met een hele lange lijst aan allerlei fixes, verbeteringen en wat nieuwe features en daarvoor verwijzen we je graag naar het onderstaande overzicht.

De update is 13.7GB op de PlayStation 4 en dus aan de forse kant. Samen met alle aanpassingen ter verbetering van de ervaring is ook het live evenement van The Terminator live gegaan. Hieronder een trailer van dat evenement en daaronder de patch notes.

Patch Highlights

  • Made improvements to night vision.
  • Fixed an issue where players got stuck when pressing both LT + LB/L1 + L2 while prone if they had the rocket launcher equipped.

  • Fixed an issue where EMP Grenades MK.2 were not available to buy in Maria’s shop, despite unlocking the EMP Grenades skill. In the previous Title Update (TU), we prevented the issue from happening again, this TU retroactively fixes the issue for already affected players.

  • Modified the vanish rules so that NPCs will stay in fight if they are close enough to the player.
  • Looting intel on Rosebud’s body is no longer mandatory to complete the Speak No Evil mission (to match the behavior on the other Wolves bosses’ missions).

  • Project Titan:
  • Fixed several issues that caused some bosses to stop moving in some cases.

Patch Notes

AI

  • Improved AI behavior:
    • Fixed an issue where enemies investigating will go to cover mid-detection.
    • If enough NPCs die at a single spot, they will stop rushing the player and will get into cover more often than before.

    • NPC packing:
    • When deactivating generators, nearby NPCs will now enter suspicious state instead of worried state.
    • Vehicle noises will now make the NPCs enter suspicious state instead of worried state.
      • Note: This will reduce the number of NPCs who investigate these events, which will lead to fewer situations where they get packed. For the next TU, we will work on further improvements to this behavior.
  • Difficulty tweak:
    • Enemies can see further away when in fight.
    • Players will receive more damage from enemies in Regular difficulty.
    • Fixed an issue where NPCs could sometimes get in their vehicles instead of fleeing.

  • Fixed an issue that caused the Crye AVS 1000 backpack to change model every time the player accessed a Bivouac.
  • Fixed an issue where part of the L3GP NVG was static and not attached to the item.
  • Continued adding improvements to adaptive magazine pouches on vests. We have added assault rifle magazines, sniper rifles, shotguns, and grenade launchers, which will work with functioning vests.
    • Note: We are still working on the remaining vests, as stated in the last TU Patch Notes.

  • Fixed an issue that removed backpack items with a quantity of 0 if they were replaced by another item.
  • Fixed an issue where EMP Grenades MK.2 were not available to buy in Maria’s shop, despite unlocking the EMP Grenades skill. In the previous TU, we prevented the issue from happening again; this TU retroactively fixes the issue for already affected players.
  • Fixed an issue that occurs when quitting the game instantly after deleting a save slot, where the save would not be deleted but the progress would reset anyway.

Project Titan

    • Fixed an issue where players were receiving loot with a gear level that is higher than intended.
    • Killing a raid boss will give you 10,000 Skell Credits now (instead of the previous 2,000).

    • The LMGs with 100 ammo capacity have been nerfed by -7%. (Only for raid boss fights, not for the rest of the game.)
      • Message from the Devs: The LMGs with high ammo capacity were too powerful and dominant in raid boss fights. Their damages have been nerfed for raid boss fights only (not for the rest of the game). It should help more weapons and playstyles to shine.
    • To compensate for the LMGs damage nerf, the HP of several bosses has been slightly reduced. We hope that those changes will keep the balance of the fights the same as it was before, while allowing more diversity in the weapons/playstyles used.
