Here’s the official description:
FBC: Firebreak introduces Requisitions, a system that rewards players with new gear and cosmetics simply by playing the game. Requisitions can include weapons, equipment, armor, sprays, and more - all unlockable using in-game currency earned through gameplay. There are no limited-time windows or rotating stores; if an item is added in the game, it’s always available.
For those who want additional customization options, Classified Requisitions offer premium cosmetic items - such as armor sets, custom voice packs, sprays, and weapon skins. Classified Requisitions are purchased with real money. The items are purely cosmetic, have no gameplay impact, and will remain available permanently. Read more about how Requisitions work here.
Remedy has also committed to ongoing support post-launch, with plans to introduce two new Jobs in 2025 and more updates in 2026. All new playable content, including Jobs, will be free for all players. While players can opt to purchase cosmetics, these items will not affect gameplay, and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-ins, Remedy assures.
Amidst this busy schedule, Remedy is also working on other projects, including Control 2 and a Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation. With so much in the pipeline, fans of Remedy's unique storytelling and gameplay have plenty to look forward to.
