FBC: Firebreak patch aims to improve the game’s early hours, which ‘do not provide a good experience,’ Remedy admits

Remedy has acknowledged that FBC: Firebreak did not meet expectations but believes many issues are fixable. A recent patch introduces balance changes to improve gameplay, including making Lost Assets easier to locate and allowing new players to start at Clearance Level 3 for the introductory job, Hot Fix. The patch also includes significant overhauls to core systems, enhancing progression and rewards, with recalibrated unlockable costs and streamlined gear progression. New players can now begin at Clearance Level 3 for the first Job, and must complete a full three-zone run at CL3 to unlock subsequent Jobs. The Operational Requisition has been divided into two categories: Essentials and Expressions, allowing players to access essential gear without unlocking unrelated items. Balancing changes include reduced construction times for certain items, increased health for enemies, and improved accessibility for the Stapler Corrupted Item. Audio issues have been addressed, including missing sound effects and music transition problems. User interface corrections include XP level indicators and crash issues in the Loadout menu. Gameplay improvements involve enhanced haptic feedback and visibility for Lost Assets. Visual enhancements include performance improvements and updates to environmental elements.

FBC: Firebreak doesn’t have the eldritch chaos I had hoped for so I’m going back to one of my favourite games that you’ve never played

FBC: Firebreak is a co-op shooting game that falls short of expectations, despite having amusing enemy designs and quirky objectives. The gameplay quickly becomes mundane, focusing on shooting enemies and grinding for gear. In contrast, SCP: Secret Laboratory offers a chaotic and engaging experience with randomly assigned roles and unpredictable scenarios, fostering memorable moments and camaraderie among players. SCP: Secret Laboratory features a variety of tools and items that enhance gameplay, such as powerful weapons and whimsical gadgets, which contribute to its dynamic atmosphere. Firebreak lacks the wild energy and unpredictability that characterize SCP: Secret Laboratory.
