I was inclined to give myself more assistance and awareness in the interface, with the trade-off being less endurance, less health regeneration, and fewer bandages in my pack to heal injuries. Honestly, it felt like a great sports video game, where I can fine-tune the options to challenge my strengths and minimize my weaknesses. Though there are six settings that can be broadly adjusted (such as enemy difficulty, presence or absence of the gear level), three of them are categories of multiple options, any of which may be changed. Ubisoft Paris has been careful to reassure players that Ghost Experience is not a single-size experience. This kind of battlefield improvisation, caused by the new limitation in the Ghost Experience, is what Ghost Recon should be all about. I exchanged my Scorpio for it, finished the job, then went back and retrieved my trusty rifle.
A-ha! The crappy MK17 that one enemy dropped would do the trick. I had a Scorpio semiautomatic rifle and a Vector submachine gun on me, but what I really needed was an assault rifle to pin these guys down and keep them from charging me. If so, what’s the point of looting a weapon from a body? Well, consider the time I flushed out a four-man patrol with a grenade, bagging two while the others scattered to the flanks. So, whatever Sentinel’s stooges drop, odds are it will be of minimal value, especially if you’ve spent any time upgrading or customizing your trusty rifle. This also goes for a weapon found in a crate in-world. Although weapons are loot-able from every enemy who drops one, you exchange whatever weapon is in your active slot for it. Gear itself is gone no backpacks, pants, gloves, or boots providing buffs or a better number than what you’ve got on. I know that I found myself defaulting to loot-shooter behavior at the outset of my time Breakpoint, making sure I cleaned every location for every piece of gear, every consumable, every weapon.īut with the immersive mode enabled, it took about two firefights for me to see that I was wasting my time with such scavenging. This system of tiered loot made a very unwelcome debut in Breakpoint and faced players with something that looked more like Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. Ubisoft Paris’ best change is obvious to Ghost Recon diehards: No more gear score. It has a lot of options and presets that, with a smart, less-is-more mindset, changes the tone of the single-player game for the better. Ghost Experience is the new “immersive mode,” that developers promised last fall would reorient Breakpoint toward what players had expected.
Thanks to the Ghost Experience, delivered in a big patch last week, now it does. From its October launch to last week, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint played like a game whose developers did not understand that difference. There’s a difference between living off the land and looting it.
