• [p]In combat, use the Impactor to stun and electrify enemies - especially effective if they’re wet from the Splash Kit or standing under a sprinkler.[/p]
• [p]At Level II and III, you can jump with it. Charge it up by holding down Right-Mouse Button (RMB) / Left Trigger (LT) / L2, aim at the ground, and release to launch yourself into air. Perfect for dodging danger or reaching high ground.[/p]
  • [p]Fun fact: You can use this new push functionality to push enemies away as well. Try pushing and electrifying enemies at the same time.[/p]

• [p]Use it to fix showers, fuse boxes, Job objectives, and even broken elevator levers. If you’re unsure, try hitting it with the Wrench.[/p]
  • [p]Fun fact: The Wrench stores elemental effects - hit a Wet or Shocked enemy, and your next swing applies that effect, letting you douse fires or power up devices.[/p]
• [p]In combat, the Wrench does melee damage and knocks enemies back. Level II and III upgrades make it more lethal.[/p]
• [p]Level II also unlocks a rush attack which allows you to rush forward in a straight line and knock down any enemies caught in your path. It has a short cooldown, so time it carefully. Rush by holding down Right-Mouse Button (RMB) / Left Trigger (LT) / L2.[/p]

• [p]Deploy it, then assemble it by hitting it with the Wrench. It’ll target enemies and shoot at them on its own.[/p]
• [p]Deals splash damage, so don’t stand next to it when it fires - especially in close quarters.[/p]
• [p]Excellent for locking down corridors or drawing aggro while you repair or revive.[/p]

• [p]Puts out fires, cleanses harmful effects, and soaks enemies in water for electric combos. Putting out fires is important because it lights you and your teammates on fire, which is bad, and because fire buffs Hiss making them faster and more dangerous.[/p]
• [p]Level I fires globules of water: tap for small shots, hold for bigger blobs.[/p]
• [p]Level II unlocks full-auto spray. Crank up the Ejector by holding down Right-Mouse Button (RMB) / Left Trigger (LT) / L2 and shoot with Left-Mouse Button (LMB) / Right Trigger (RT) / R2. You can still fire single shots if you want with using just LMB/RT/R2.[/p]
• [p]Shooting at your feet cleanses yourself, which is vital if you’re burning, irradiated, or affected by some other harmful effect.[/p]

• [p]Deploy it and fill it up with the COFE. Once filled, it sprays a healing mist that also cleanses and soaks.[/p]
• [p]Use it between fights to top off health - or during combat if you’ve got cover.[/p]
• [p]If you’re using the Teapot Augment (which super heats water to set things on fire), shooting the Humidifier with it results in an awesome flaming sprinkler instead. Just be careful not to do it when you or any of your teammates are standing nearby.[/p]

• [p]Upgrade your Tool first by upgrading your Crisis Kit in the Essentials Requisition. You’ll feel the difference immediately in both utility and combat.[/p]
• [p]Unlock your Improvised Device early. These are powerful tools that can shift a battle or save a failing objective. You can unlock in the Essentials Requisition.[/p]
• [p]Don’t forget to unlock your Altered Augment in the Essentials Requisition. The Augment provides additional firepower against hordes of enemies when you need it.[/p]

• [p]Splash can cleanse and prime enemies for Jump’s electric effects.[/p]
• [p]Fix can make quick repairs, keep the team moving, and hold down a position.[/p]
• [p]Jump can close gaps, quickly charge generators and is very effective destroying wet sticky notes.[/p]

• [p]Improved connection stability, fixing issues related to the automatic reconnect feature introduced in patch 1.3.0.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where a countdown briefly and incorrectly appeared after a completed match.[/p]
• [p]Added additional backend support to enable future updates without requiring downtime.[/p]

• [p]We have added the “Surviving the Workplace” series introductory video to the game explaining the Firebreaker’s mission. For both current and prospective players! [/p]

• [p]New unlockable items in the Requisitions and Perks menus are now visually highlighted. [/p]

• [p]Lost Assets (unlock currency) and Research Samples (used to unlock higher-tier Perks) players are carrying are now shown as a number in the HUD. [/p]

• [p]Perks economy rebalancing [/p]
  • [p]Our statistics show that slightly less than 5% of our player base owns a Level 3 Perk. That is a different stat from actually equipping it. For a variety of reasons that we need to address, players are not using higher-tier Perks, and this is not just due to their unlocking costs. This economy rebalancing is just one step we are taking to improve. [/p]
  • [p]Please read our blog post about how the Perks system and economy here: [/p]

• [p]The Twitch Drops issue has been resolved on the backend. It is not part of the patch, but we figured this is a good place to communicate this. [/p]
  • [p]The Overseer Armor Set (Threshold Revision) that is part of our Twitch Drops launch campaign has now been granted to all players who connected their Twitch account to their FBC: Firebreak account but didn't receive the armor set.  [/p]
  • [p]Anyone who connects their account after today's patch will also be granted the items automatically at the end of each day until July 22nd [/p]

• [p]Added the “Surviving the Workplace” series introductory video explaining the premise of the game. [/p]
  • [p]Localized subtitles are missing from the video; they will be added in a later patch. [/p]

• [p]Updated PS5 Cloud Streaming to the latest version [/p]

• [p]Fixed the outdated descriptions for “What a Day” and “OSHA Compliant” Achievements/Trophies to actually describe what players have to do. [/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue with “Veteran” and “Firebreaker” Achievements/Trophies, which prevented them from unlocking. [/p]

• [p]Improved the in-game notification messaging for when maintenance happens. [/p]
  • [p]Previously, players only received the maintenance message if they were in the main menu. Now, if you are playing a match and go back into the main menu, the message will be resurfaced to you, so you don’t miss it. [/p]

• [p]Various fixes and performance improvements for backend and online services. [/p]

• [p]Improved backend connection stability so that players disconnecting from a match happens less frequently. (Error codes 22001 and 22002) [/p]

• [p]When backend maintenance happens, players can now finish the Job they are currently playing instead of being disconnected from the game.  (This one needs a bit more time in the oven.)[/p]

• [p]Perks economy rebalanced.  [/p]

• [p]Swivel Cannon (Fix Kit Improvised Device) now has 3200 health (up from 1000).  [/p]
  • [p]As the cannon does splash damage, it damages itself when shooting nearby enemies and was destroying itself too often. This change should make it more durable and allow it to make a few more shots at close range before being destroyed. [/p]

• [p]Improved enemy behavior [/p]
  • [p]Enemies rush less into areas their compatriots got killed in making enemy behavior a bit more exciting.  [/p]

• [p]Updated the idle sounds of all Corrupted Items to make them more identifiable and easier for players to pinpoint by sound.  [/p]

• [p]The exact number of Lost Assets and Research Samples that the player is carrying are now displayed in the HUD during a Job. [/p]

• [p]Added tutorials for the secondary function of each Crisis Kit Tool (activates when the Tool is level 2 or 3). [/p]

• [p]Added the player’s Reputation Level indicator to the bottom of the Research menu. [/p]

• [p]Added visual notification to the Main Menu when players have new items or Perks that they can unlock in the Requisition or Research menu. [/p]
  • [p]Also added visual notifications to new items in the Requisition menu and Perks in Research menus that the players can afford to unlock. [/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where turning off the camera shake from the menu didn't actually turn it off. [/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where the Hunter Gatherer Perk didn't pick up Research Samples. [/p]

• [p]Fixed a crash which could happen when the Night Terrors Perk is activated. [/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where the Lost Asset and Research Sample visual highlight only disappeared for the player picking them up and remained visible for other players. [/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where the “Jasper Post Box” Corrupted Item could spawn inside other objects. [/p]
