Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint Is Out
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is the latest title released for the long-running Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon franchise. It is a follow-up to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands, which should come as welcome news for those who enjoyed that particular shooter.
What Are Some Tips to Keep in Mind For Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint?
Here are some tips to keep in mind for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint:
Scouting Is Paramount (Ghost Recon Breakpoint Cheats and Tips)
The Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon franchise consists of tactical shooters. As a result, players can’t count on their player-character’s inherent superiority to overcome their enemies. However, just because they can’t count on their player-character’s inherent superiority, it doesn’t mean that they can’t stack the odds in their favor through other means.
In particular, players should learn as much about their enemies as possible before moving in to engage. Under ideal circumstances, they should know who they are facing, what their enemies are equipped with, where their enemies can be found, where their enemies can take cover, and where their enemies can exit the engagement. By learning this information, players can maximize their chances of a smooth engagement, which tend to make for the most effective and most efficient outcomes.
Don’t Go Loud Unless You Have To (Ghost Recon Breakpoint Cheats and Tips)
Generally speaking, players shouldn’t go loud unless they have no choice. This is because going loud causes them to become fully committed to the fight, thus making it that much more difficult for them to get out of an engagement when it goes bad on them. Something that is particularly true when players have no support while their enemies can call in reinforcements.
With that said, there is no such thing as perfect stealth in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint. In fact, its enemies are more capable of finding players than ever before, seeing as how they can now use sight, sound, and the carnage of the player’s engagements. On top of this, there are now road patrols, drones, and helicopters, which can be very punishing when they manage to catch the player out in the open. Still, stealth is worth it. Sometime, the player will be able to tear their way through an entire engagement while remaining in stealth. Other times, well, suffice to say that an enemy taken down from stealth is an enemy that won’t have to be taken down while having gone loud.
Headshots Remain Very Useful (Ghost Recon Breakpoint Cheats and Tips)
One of the reasons that stealth is so important is that headshots remain very useful. In short, headshots can instant-kill a lot of enemies, which is why players will want to use the extra time provided to them by their stealth to make as many such shots as possible. Even when enemies are wearing helmets, it is possible for players to knock off the helmets before making a headshot once said individuals are no longer protected.
Keep Yourself In Top Condition (Ghost Recon Breakpoint Cheats and Tips)
One of the changes for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is the increased emphasis on survival elements compared to past titles. In short, players need to watch out for a couple of things, with one being their stamina and the other being their injuries.
First, stamina determines the amount of time that the player-character can sprint plus the smoothness with which the player-character can travel on rough terrain. As such, if players impair their maximum stamina by exhausting their stamina bar again and again, they can expect to see unfortunate incidents such as their player-character tumbling their way down rough slopes. Fortunately, there is a simple and straightforward way to recover impaired stamina in the form of drinking clean water.
Second, injuries prevent players from recovering entire chunks of their health bar, thus making them that much more vulnerable to their enemies. There are a couple of ways to recover from injuries, with one being syringes and the other being the medical kit. Under ideal circumstances. players should find a safe spot to use the medical kit because it will never run out of uses while reserving syringes for use on the go.
Regardless, players should never let themselves enter into an engagement with either an impaired stamina bar or an impaired health bar unless they have no choice whatsoever. Both kinds of penalties are serious handicaps, meaning that they should be avoided as much as possible.
Use Helicopters For Long-Range Transportation
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint offers a number of transportation methods for interested individuals. However, when it comes to long-range transportation, there is nothing that can match the helicopter. In part, this is because the helicopter is faster than the other options with the single exception of fast travel, meaning that it is the most efficient choice for when said option is either unavailable or undesirable for whatever reason.
However, it should also be noted that the helicopter will keep the player out of the range of most potential threats, thus making it a safe option as well. Having said that, it is possible for helicopters to get picked up by drones on air defense, meaning that players might want to remain at a higher altitude to evade said nuisances.
Watch Out For Drones
Speaking of which, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint puts a fair amount of emphasis on the technological capabilities of the enemies, so it should come as no surprise to learn that the player will be running into a wide range of drones over the course of their play-through. Said enemies are tough, which is why players will want to be prepared for them by bringing rockets as well as EMP grenades.
Moreover, if they are expecting to take on ground drones, they will want to exploit their enemies’ lack of maneuverability by engaging them from higher elevations. As for the toughest drones that can be found out there, man vs. machine isn’t the fairest of match-ups, which is why players should even up the odds by bringing in an attack helicopter armed with rockets.
Easy XP
Unlock the following three skills/perks as soon as possible to make leveling much easier. Only one of these perks needs to be equipped to your character. The other two are passives — so you will instantly earn more XP at the start of the game.
- Experience Upgrade (Passive): +20% XP bonus.
- Pistolero (Perk): +40% XP bonus while using a handgun.
- Recon Master (Passive): +50 XP when marking enemies with your drone.
- Bonus: At any camps, select “Research” Preparations for +10% XP for +1 hour.
These three perks all include bonus XP rewards. The Experience Upgrade perk is found in the “Basic” circle, the Pistolero perk is in the connecting “Weapons” circle, and Recon Master is in the “Recon” circle. Once you unlock two skills in the “Basic” circle, these two new skill circles will become available. This build is basically stealth-focused and gives you large bonuses for using silenced pistols and marking enemies with drones. To get additional XP, try selecting the Panther class. Silencers do not decrease damage with pistols/SMGs, and you will want the Slim Shadow perk, which gives you a +80% bonus to stealth and vanish.
That makes getting close a lot easier. For drones, try using the Drone Mark Area upgrade from the “Skills” menu. This increases the area-of-effect for drone marking by +75%. As you reach new areas, you will encounter increasingly large groups of enemies. This makes marking them with your drone a lot easier and quicker. Combine these perks, including the +10% XP camp bonus, to earn +70% XP for every pistol kill, +65 XP for marking enemies, and +30% XP for everything else.
