Ghost Recon Breakpoint update today – patch notes 1.1.0

Update 1.1.0 is on the way for Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and Ubisoft has released the full patch notes. The update will clock in at 14.7 GB on Xbox One, 13.7 GB on PlayStation 4, and 11.3 GB on PC. No exact time for the update is known, but as long as you have your console or PC set to download it automatically, you should be fine. 

Of major interest for fans of the game will be the arrival of a Terminator in the game tomorrow. Little is known about the event right now, but the patch itself is just part of Ubisoft’s efforts to give Breakpoint a new feel after it fell a little flat for fans.

  • 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).
  
  
• Weapons/Balancing:
  
  • ​The LMGs with 150 ammo capacity (Stoner, MK.48, 6P41) have been nerfed by -17%. (Only for raid boss fights, not for the rest of the game.)
  • 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.
