It looks like Ubisoft isn’t done with improving Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Title Update 4.0 is coming on May 25, next week, and it will focus on improving its AI teammates.
AI teammates, which were part of the previous Ghost Recon (Wildlands) were purposefully removed for Breakpoint. But after fan feedback, the development team has since added three AI squadmates to accompany you in missions when you’re out playing without other players.
For Title Update 4.0, Breakpoint will include an all-new progression loop for AI teammates, with challenges and rewards to unlock. Teammates have a shared Team Level that can be increased with Team XP earned. Team Level up will have an animation when reached.
There will be a dedicated menu for all teammate information, inlcuding customisation, challenges and upgrades.
Speaking of, AI teammates can get the following different upgrades:
- Active abilities (teammate specific): Piercing Shot, Scan and Combat Drone
- Active abilities (shared): Extra Revival and Fragmentation Grenades
- Nine other passive abilities
Also, you can now adjust squad size to play with one, two, or three teammates, customise Rainbow 6 teammates, hide AI teammates’ secondary weapon and more.
