Remedy's imaginative yet muddled shooter FBC: Firebreak is spooling up for a major update in September, one which will add a new mission to the game and plans several much-needed mechanical adjustments. But in the meantime, the cooperative Control spinoff has released one last quality-of-life patch to set the stage for next month.
Patch 1.5 makes numerous tweaks to combat encounters, improving spawn timings for the possessed minions of the Hiss, while rebalancing the composition of enemy waves. Both of these could be extremely haphazard in the original version, as I discussed in my FBC: Firebreak review, so it's pleasing to hear Remedy has tried to smooth things out.
