Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is getting its huge immersive update this month

Ghost Recon Breakpoint was a disappointment at launch, so news of a new immersive mode - which promised to remove some of the looter shooter trappings from the game - was well-received. This mode was meant to release in February, then got delayed, but now we have a final release date: March 24.

Come that day there will actually be three game settings: Regular, Immersive and Custom. The first is the Ghost Recon Breakpoint you know and dislike, the second "removes gear level and tiered loot" while adding new tactical options, while Custom lets you personalise all of the above and more.

This sweeping update will coincide with the beginning of Episode 2 of the game's DLC schedule, which is called Deep State. A new class will be added as well, in the form of the Engineer, who can "deal more damage to drones, carry extra offensive items, and have a buff to grenade launchers".
