About the Game
FBC: Firebreak is a cooperative first-person shooter set within a mysterious federal agency under assault by otherworldly forces. As a years-long siege on the agency’s headquarters reaches a breakpoint, only Firebreak— the Bureau’s most versatile unit—has the gear and the guts to plunge into the building’s strangest crises, restore order, contain the chaos, and fight to reclaim control.

Dive into the Federal Bureau of Control’s (FBC) unpredictable and extradimensional headquarters during its darkest—and strangest—hours. As one of the FBC’s fearless first responders, you and your team are on call to confront everything from reality-warping anomalies to otherworldly monsters... no matter the odds. Will you contain the chaos or finally lose control?

Join forces with friends or strangers to tackle each crisis as a well-oiled crew. Survival in this three-player cooperative FPS hinges on quick thinking and seamless teamwork as you scramble to tame raging paranatural crises across a variety of unexpected locations. Improve your odds by utilizing the tools and skills that make you unique or improvising with whatever’s on hand to support your crew.

Before deploying, select your weapon and customize your Firebreaker’s Crisis Kit with specialized tools, grenades, support items, and paranatural augments... then modify them to suit your strategy and change the way you play. Experiment with different loadouts to perfect your playstyle and synergize with your team, giving you the edge to succeed in every crisis, no matter the difficulty.

Return to the strange and unexpected world of Control or venture in for the first time in this standalone, multiplayer experience. Discover the iconic and unfathomable headquarters of the FBC — the Oldest House — from an entirely new perspective as a team of volunteer first responders who'll stop at nothing to save what's left of the Bureau.

Windows PC: 1.6.4.0
Overview
Hotfix 1.6.4 focuses on tuning FBC: Firebreak’s balance and improving rewards at higher Threat Levels. Corrupted Items now scale with difficulty; Trace drops have been increased, and enemy waves in Alternative Objectives at higher Threat levels are more manageable.
The update also includes fixes to achievements, localization, and several gameplay and stability issues, plus a small visual update to emitter plates in Frequency Shift.
Patch notes
Economy & Balance Changes:
The number of Corrupted Items that spawn during a Corrupted Crisis from the Crisis Board now scales with Threat level:
Easy - 1 Corrupted Item
Normal - 2 Corrupted Items
Hard/Extreme - 3 Corrupted Items
Banishing a Corrupted Item with the Neutralizer (or Black Rock Rounds) now always drops Trace.
Increased Trace drop chance and amounts from Powerful Enemies on higher Threat Levels:
Hard 20% (was 10%)
Extreme 40% (was 10%)
Trace drops now yield 1-2 Trace instead of always 1.
Adjusted enemy spawn rates during 'Survive the Hiss' and 'Recover' objectives on Hard and Extreme Threat Levels to be less... endless.
Achievements/Trophies:
The OSHA Compliant can now consistently be unlocked by completing any Corrupted Crisis on Hard or Extreme Threat Level with no one downed.
Note: The in-game description still lists "Corruption Level 3" as a requirement. This text issue will be fixed in a future update.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed an issue where the BOOMbox sometimes failed to be placed or appeared in the wrong location.
Fixed an issue where the Experimental Amplification Gun Mod could damage the player when shooting at long range
Note: The Mod still causes self-damage at point-blank range, as intended
Fixed an issue in Outbreak where barrels could be ejected from the Poison Mixer if two correct ones were inserted consecutively
Various crash fixes and stability improvements
Localization Fixes:
Added missing subtitles for the Lab Rat Voice Pack
Various localization improvements across multiple languages
Miscellaneous:
Updated the visual design on emitter plates in Frequency Shift
Already fixed in 1.6.3 (but previously undocumented):
Players now always start the Tutorial without equipped Perks or Gun Mods, regardless of their current loadout
Fixed an issue in Outbreak where repairing chemical sprayers before loading the correct barrels into the Poison Mixer could break the objective.
