14 DAY TRIAL // Great news for fans of Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Breakpoint, as the French developer has just announced a new major update that will drop next week. Dubbed Title Update 4.0.0, the new AI Teammate Experience update will be available for free to all players on May 25.
The new update introduces a new gameplay mechanic that will allow players to gain even more rewards by unlocking various challenges. More precisely, the upcoming AI Teammate Experience update will consist of an all-new progression loop, allowing players to improve their AI teammates, earn unique rewards and unlock challenges to complete in the process.
Thanks to the update, players will be able to level up their AI teammates, which will unlock tactical upgrades and better prepare them for combat. Furthermore, teammates will now have a common Team Level and a common XP bar called Team XP which can be leveled up just by playing the game with AI teammates activated or by completing the Teammate Challenges.
The update will add a new progression bar at the top of the screen that will allow players to track teammate progression, display XP gained, Nomad’s level gauge, and teammates’ level gauge. On top of that, once teammates have leveled up, an animation will appear on screen, informing players of newly unlocked upgrades.
But wait, there's more! Players will have 14 new challenges at their disposal, which will grant both Team XP and cosmetic rewards. To upgrade and customize teammates, players will be able to navigate a dedicated menu, showing teammate level XP, upgrades and challenges.
There will be no less than 14 upgrades to unlock: three active abilities unique to each teammate including Piercing Shot, Scan, and Combat Drone; two active abilities shared across teammates including Extra Revival and Fragmentation Grenades; and nine passive abilities for increased damage or resilience.
More importantly, Title Update 4.0.0 will introduce more than just the leveling system, as players will now be able to adjust their squad with one, two, or three teammates, customize Rainbow teammates, hide AI teammates’ secondary weapons, and more.
