FBC: Firebreak is getting a number of changes after the three-player cooperative shooter faced a wave of backlash from frustrated fans this week. Players found problems with matchmaking, a lack of tutorials, and a lack of progression via unlockable cosmetics and weapons. .
“It’s been exciting (and nerve-wracking) to see our first multiplayer game out in the wild,” Remedy wrote in a statement on Steam. “Launching FBC: Firebreak is a significant milestone for us, not just because it’s our first online co-op game, but because we’ve self-published it as well. Several things have gone well. Clearly, not everything has.”
Remedy released a patch today that including UI fixes and changes to how much unlockables costs. The studio re-organized unlockables into two categories: operational requisitions and essentials. Operational requisitions now include only cosmetics like sprays and armor sets while essentials includes gear and weapons. Essentials are now easier to unlock, according to the studio.
