Ghost Recon Breakpoint is about to get a lot more challenging with the introduction of immersive mode. After the game’s launch last year, developer Ubisoft promised that changes were coming to make Ghost Recon Breakpoint “more radical and immersive.”

The launch of Ghost Recon Breakpoint was disappointing for Ubisoft, with reviews across the board finding more to criticize than to praise about the game. Critics and players alike pointed to the Breakpoint’s failure to find a consistent tone or identity. At launch, the game was also riddled with microtransactions, though they have since been toned down. Even with the changes to microtransactions, though, there was still plenty of fault to find with Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and it’s failed to find much of an audience since then.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s immersive mode may be a step toward building up that audience by offering a new, more hardcore way to play when it launches March 24. According to Ubisoft, Breakpoint’s immersive mode is specifically meant to address some of the top concerns that players expressed in a community survey. In the new immersive mode, gear levels will be turned off, giving each weapon unique characteristics and make them usable for as long as players want to keep them. New weapons can be looted from enemies, but players can only carry a limited number. Health regeneration will also be limited, reloading will discard any bullets left in a magazine, and some elements of the UI will be disabled.

Along with the preset Regular Experience (the default version of the game) and new Immersive Experience, players will be able to mix and match various settings to their liking, which Ubisoft calls the Ghost Experience. Along with turning any standard elements of immersive mode on or off, players can individually choose how likely their character is to be wounded, change the number of bandages they can carry, or adjust global difficulty in two different settings. Enemy difficulty will affect things like how perceptive enemy soldiers are, while tactical difficulty will cover elements like stamina regeneration and inventory capacity.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint has plenty of problems that aren’t covered by the immersive mode update, but the new settings should go a long way to address some of the biggest criticisms from fans. If nothing else, it gives players who fell off of the game a reason to give it another shot while Ubisoft continues working to make Ghost Recon Breakpoint the game everyone was hoping it would be.
