One of the newest features to Ghost Recon Breakpoint is the Red Patriot Adventure, a series of missions that task players with hunting down Sentinel Corp leader Trey Stone and his accomplices. There are 10 new story missions and 26 adventure rewards in total, with the first two missions being free for all players. Should you want to continue the Red Patriot Adventure, you'll either have to buy the add-on content from the in-game store for 1,900 Ghost Coins or own the Year 1 Pass for $40 USD.

As previously mentioned in Title Update 2.1.0, which launched back in July, Ghost Recon Breakpoint's Gunsmith will see a bevy of additions and changes. Among them are tons of new scopes and stocks, more barrels in weapon customization, and others.

In addition to the various gameplay adjustments and tweaks, TU 3.0 also addresses stability issues, irons out problems with clipping and exploits, and more. The patch notes are quite lengthy.

GameSpot reviewed Ghost Recon: Breakpoint at launch, scoring it a 4/10. It has received numerous updates since then.
