How to choose the best Ghost Recon Breakpoint guns

It’s easy to build a comparable loadout with almost anything you can find while looting, so don’t worry if you’re using a less-than-ideal weapon. Cater your weapons to your playstyle. If you prefer to lay down cover fire to help your squad escape? Grab that light machine gun. Looking for the ultimate close quarters combat setup? Pick up a couple of submachine guns. 

I prefer to have a diversified set of cannons, including one assault rifle or submachine gun alongside a sniper rifle that can handle long distances. Grenades help me with any tricky situations the first two don’t cover.

Finding guns in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is simple; you’ll come across them in chests and on the bodies of slain enemies. You can craft weapons once you find their specific blueprint, either from side missions or intel you find from strangers and electronics scattered across the map. Bear in mind that you can hold two primary weapons at a time alongside one pistol.

Best Ghost Recon Breakpoint guns

TAC50

The TAC50 is a great rifle to use while scouting around an enemy base, marking enemies and locations of interest before heading into a battle. It’s powerful enough to level an enemy soldier with a single shot, even when suppressed, and it’s got incredible range. It’s perfect for solo playthroughs too as you can clear part of a base without even stepping inside. Make sure to have something suitable for close range if you go with this one, though.

SC-20K

The SC-20K is perfect for a fast moving commando who prefers to methodically infiltrate a compound room by room. You can hug corners quickly and take out anyone you find instantaneously. It has a bit of recoil but nothing you can’t handle, and the spray is deadly. It also has a healthy cartridge size when you first pick it up but like every other weapon, I use a suppressor with it. Stealth is crucial.

TAVOR

The TAVOR is all about stability, close-to-medium range shots with a steady hand. It has little-to-no recoil, works perfect with a laser sight, and has great firepower. This is the gun that has felt the best with the Breakpoint camera changes that have you go from third to first person whenever you look down your sights. It’s gotten me out of most of my close shave gunfights.

G28

The G28 is a great mid range weapon, perfect for surrounding an outlet of enemies with your squad, marking your target, and taking them out from a safe distance. It can hold its own at distance, but is perfect for hunkering down inside a two story office building as waves of enemies approach your position. 

AK47

The AK47 is well-known for a reason and it’s just as reliable in Breakpoint as you’ll find in other game. You can find the AK47 blueprint in the Behemoth Defense Area and from random points of intel you may find during missions. 

All guns in Breakpoint are viable in both multiplayer and singleplayer. If some element of a weapon is lacking, like the recoil or mobility, then you can work to improve that with the gunsmith. Apply stat boosts, add better equipment, and increase the overall level of your weapon. You’ll also find different versions of the same weapon with better stats, so be sure to upgrade when you can.

The post Ghost Recon Breakpoint guns: Which are the best weapons to use in Ubisofts new looter shooter? appeared first on Game News.

Ubisoft is calling the revamped Ghost Recon Breakpoint settings The Ghost Experience, which is just one part of the massive TU 2.0.0 update. Immersive mode, in particular, was designed primarily to “to address many of the top concerns raised by our community,” writes Ubisoft in a new blog post (opens in new tab).

Chiefly, Immersive mode does away with gear score and tiered loot, elements that drew sharp criticism from fans upon release.

The game will now boot up with three modes: Regular, Immersive, and Custom. The latter seems like a way to pick and choose the settings from Immersive mode you want to incorporate into your game, with options like No Gear Level and Realistic Looting you can toggle on and off.

The Ghost Experience also separates difficult settings into two different categories: Enemies and Tactical, the latter of which is what’s new here. Tactical difficulty settings “impact the realism of your experience such as how many main weapon slots you have, bandage quantity, risk of injury, etc.”

The start of episode 2 of Ghost Recon Breakpoint DLC is also arriving in the new update, titled Deep State. The DLC adds the Engineer class, which can “deal more damage to drones, carry extra offensive items, and have a buff to grenade launchers.” The Engineer’s special ability is the Defensive Drone, which attacks nearby enemies, and the Ammo Supply Drone class tool brings allies an extra magazine.

Finally, update 2.0.0 brings a laundry list of community-requested updates and general bug fixes, which you can read all about here (opens in new tab).

The post Ghost Recon Breakpoint immersive mode comes out this month appeared first on Game News.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint didn’t have the smoothest launch, to put it kindly, and in the weeks since launch has been the subject of enduring criticism for its bugginess, abundance of microtransactions, and overall world design and gameplay. Ubisoft has been open (opens in new tab) about the amount of criticism and accountable for their part, admitting recently a few of the key flaws that led to such widespread outcry from the community.

In terms of improving stability and fixing bugs, which Ubisoft considers their “first priority,” Ubisoft has already launched update 1.0.2, which will be followed by 1.0.3, which will include “fixes on the Drone deployment, on changing the fire rate, on NVGs blocking crosshairs and on the Mission Completion notification pop-up.” Finally, update 1.0.2.1 is scheduled for the end of November and will focus on further improving performance based on community feedback.

The blog also details plans for post-launch content coming to Ghost Recon Breakpoint, which includes the game’s first raid, coming in December and titled Project Titan, and the Terminator Live Event coming shortly after.

Ubisoft briefly touches on the addition of AI Teammates to Ghost Recon Breakpoint, simply acknowledging their commitment to add them and promising further updates in the future. And as far as what Ubisoft calls “freedom of choice,” the blog only promises a “more radical and immersive version of Ghost Recon Breakpoint” and says the development team is working on a way to allow players to “tailor your experience to the way you want to enjoy the game.”

Ubisoft says they’re looking into making a community survey to help gamers share feedback directly with the developers, which seems the right way to handle a situation where a majority of the community feels dissatisfied with the product. Here’s hoping they follow through.

This is the latest in a series of big questions we’ll be interrogating our writers with, so share your answers and suggestions for topics with us on Twitter. (opens in new tab)  

The cute-but-deadly approach

Goose
My first instinct is to recruit Goose… no, not that goose, I mean Captain Marvel’s adorable cat who just so happens to be a Flerken – you know, that alien species that can shoot tentacles from its face. With the agility and deceptive cuteness of a feline, Goose would be able to infiltrate enemy bases and launch surprise attacks on the unwitting Wolves who think he’s just a harmless kitty. 

Animal Crossing Villager (Super Smash Bros) 
Super Smash Bros Animal Crossing Villager is another deceptively deadly character. As a fighter who became a meme so powerful they cannot be stopped, the villager in Smash with his ruthless killer persona would perfectly befit any dangerous close-combat fighting with ex-ghosts or drones. 

Chansey 
In every team you need a healer, and with Chansey’s Soft-Boiled move that can heal 50% health, you can’t go wrong. Generally I’d try to keep her out of sight, but the Lucky Punch item Chansey can hold (that increases her critical hit rate) would come in very handy if she gets caught up in any hairy situations. 

Dogmeat (Fallout 3) 
Having a good doggo who can alert you to an enemy presence with his heightened sense of smell is always helpful when you’re on a dangerous island where lots of folks are out to kill you. He can also scout for loot and find any useful weapon blueprints or gear and generally just be a very good boy. Heather Wald

Team Moiras

Me
I’m going to assume that I’m included in this four-person Ghost Recon squad, because my ego demands that I am important enough to join an elite group of highly-trained military assassins.

Moira from Overwatch – She heals, she damages, she’s an impossibly-tall Irish eugenicist. This may not sound ideal, but the woman has ice cold blood running through her veins (with maybe a dash of Jameson). She can fade in and out of areas (perfect for stealth) and throw damage orbs that’ll bounce around rooms, sucking the life out of enemies. She can also throw healing orbs at people who are rushing in too quickly. Sure, she’s not much of a conversationalist, but I’m not here to talk, I’m here to kill.

Captain Marvel – This is a no-brainer. She’s clearly the most OP superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (she went toe-to-toe with big bad Thanos, for Christ’s sake), and she has amazing hair. She also has a helmet that emphasizes her amazing hair, which hopefully she can procure for me, as well. She’s cool, calm, and collected, and she can change the color of her suit so we could all match and be best friends. Plus, she’s Brie Larson. Need I say more? Oh, the cat can come, too.

Moira from Schitt’s Creek but as Dr. Clara Mandrake from The Crows Have Eyes II – I want two Moiras on my team, okay? Two polar opposite Moiras would bring me immense joy. Plus, Moira Rose has impeccable fashion sense, and we can really double down on being the team with cool hair once she brings all of her wigs to the battlefield. But I specifically request Moira Rose as Dr. Clara Mandrake, a scientist who is half-human, half-crow that leads crow mutants and causes the apocalypse. I want that on my team, no questions asked. The power that she has…untouchable. Alyssa Mercante

Ghost, Goose, Goldblum

Jeff Goldblum – Hidden behind the quirky stutters and tics of a man who has more charisma than he knows what to do with is someone who at least sounds convincing. Give him a script filled with plans and jargon – see Independence Day and Jurassic Park – and he’ll give you a speech to make sure shit gets done. I mean, it’ll probably get everyone killed – but Goldblum makes it all sound worthwhile. A motivator to the very end.

Casper the Friendly Ghost – Unlike some of my other choices (naming no names *cough* Jeff Goldblum), Casper might actually be useful in a fight. He can’t be shot, can breach through walls instantly, and according to the Casper Wiki – trust me, I checked – he’s over 200 years old. I.e. he’s seen some shit. A probable war veteran and unkillable. Punisher, eat your heart out.

The goose from Untitled Goose Game – Our quack team of killers will need some assistance in killing faceless soldiers – and there’s none better at sneaking behind enemy lines than the goose that’s already broken the internet at least twenty times already this month. Mister Goose is equally adept at ruining picnics as he is at committing various war crimes, trust me. It’s all in the eyes.

Captain Price – Because they can’t all be joke answers. What the fuck is Jeff Goldblum, a smiley ghost, and a goose going to do to extremists and separatists Bradley Russell

John Bernthal

I would choose Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher, Jon Bernthal’s Shane from The Walking Dead, and the actor Jon Bernthal, alongside my own in-game character who I’ve made to closely resemble Jon Bernthal, because what better way to take on Colonel Walker, Jon Bernthal’s new villain in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, than with a literal army of alternative Jon Bernthals. I also love the idea of Walker having an existential crisis from being hunted by a squad of his own clones, with a final showdown that wouldn’t look entirely dissimilar from that Agent Smith fight scene in The Matrix: Reloaded (opens in new tab)… except everyone’s Jon Bernthal. Alex Avard

Witchers, knights and Destiny

Solaire (Dark Souls): Every good squad needs an emotional anchor, and I can’t think of anyone more suited to defusing tense combat situations than the effervescently joyous knight Solaire. He won’t be the stealthiest person in our squad, but he’ll keep morale high. 

Geralt (The Witcher): We’re gonna need some go-getters who can get things done, and if Geralt can handle gryphons and werewolves and basilisks, I reckon he’ll have no trouble with a couple of dudes with guns. He’ll have one sword for men, one sword for monsters, and one high-powered assault rifle for armed mercenaries.  

Sam Gideon (Vanquish): Admittedly, the main reason Sam is in the squad is because I would kill to see a conversation between him and Geralt. That said, he also knows how to handle a gun and look real cool while smoking a cigarette, and quite frankly those are the most important qualities of any Tom Clancy character. 

Zavala (Destiny): This squad needs a leader – a leader with blue skin, no hair, and the ability to create giant impenetrable bubbles when the plot demands it. Zavala also has the added advantage of bringing Lance Reddick’s voice to the squad, which is a huge bonus. Austin Wood

Goku and Lyudmila

Goku: He’s best known for taking on super-powered aliens in hand-to-hand/beam-to-beam combat, but Goku’s also fought plenty of dudes with guns. He’s so strong that their bullets don’t even hurt him.

Super Saiyan Goku: He’s like Goku but way stronger.

Lyudmila Pavlichenko: One of the greatest soldiers in recorded history, Pavlichenko killed at least 309 enemy combatants in her time as a Red Army sniper. The Wolves would scoff at her old-fashioned Mosin-Nagant rifle if they ever managed to get within 300 yards of her, which they would not.

Ultra Instinct Goku: This is the strongest Goku. Not including him on my Ghost Recon squad would be ridiculous. Connor Sheridan
