Value Stealth Above All Else

Tips & Tricks

Stealth is your biggest ally in this game. Staying undetected should always be your primary concern. Take out your enemies quietly and from a distance.

Make sure no one will witness a death and don’t be afraid to carry a body away from the scene. Using camo and cover will be a great asset. If the enemy detects you, they will call in reinforcements and begin to hone in.

Silenced weapons and melee kills can go a long way. Be aware of your surroundings, and everything should work out fine.

Use Your Drone

Tips & Tricks

Your drone should be used before every time you plan to engage with an enemy encampment. Scouting out where their location is as well as essential items like crates and turrets.

Hitting up on the d-pad will send your drone out, and the range on it is very generous. Check every nook and cranny of the area for a potential hidden enemy.

Remember that stealth is your biggest ally, and this drone is here to help.

Refill Your Water

Tips & Tricks

Ghost Recon Breakpoint has a stamina meter, but something that isn’t fully explained to the player is that it can shrink.

The more you exhaust your entire meter, it will begin to shrink smaller and smaller. The game calls this fatigue. In order to get rid of the fatigue, you’ll need to drink water from your canteen.

The canteen only has three uses, and the only way to refill it is to go to a body of water and click the square button to refill your canteen.

Refilling the canteen is a vital mechanic because you’ll need to drink water pretty often.

Rest at Bivouacs

Tips & Tricks

Bivouacs act as fast travel points in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, but they also have a ton of other important uses.

It might seem like a good idea to rush past these smokestacks and head towards your mission objective, but resting at them will offer you multiple advantages.

First off, you can go to the preparations tab and give yourself an hour-long buff. This can increase your stamina, your injury resistance, or even your weapon accuracy.

Bivouacs will also allow you to craft more consumable items like grenades, syringes, mines, and sync shot drones.

You can also purchase and sell weapons through bivouacs, as well as spawn any vehicle you own.

Make sure to not skip out on these as they are some of the most important areas in the game.

Sync Shot Drones

Tips & Tricks

Sync Shot Drones help solo players take out multiple enemies at the same time. These gadgets will let you tag up to three enemies at the same time to kill at the same time.

Making sure you always have a full inventory of Sync Shot Drones will certainly make your life a lot easier when playing by yourself.

Simply aim at an enemy when you have the Sync Shot Drone equipped and click the L1 button to tag them. When you’re ready you can either shot an enemy or click the L1 button again to trigger all of your drones to fire.
