Switching from Wildlands to Breakpoint but I have some questions.

Question

Iv been playing wildlands for about 2 years now and have decided to move to breakpoint. But before I make my purchase I was hoping I could get some questions of mine answered.

  1. I want to buy a version of the game that includes the year one pass but I'm not sure what this pass comes with, a lot of web searches show vids and forum posts from 1 year ago. My question is that will there be any super important dlc or content that won't be included in the pass that I have to buy separately?

  2. As someone who is a latecomer to this game I want to know if there have been any limited time events that I missed out on or if the events are a permanent addition to the game like ubi did with wildlands?

  3. Finally... Is the game fun? Like I'm sure it is, but you never know with ubi now a days. I plan on playing in this immersive mode I keep hearing about so I guess I shouldn't be too worried right?

I'll try to answer your questions.

  1. Gold and ultime editions have year one pass included. The difference is that whit the ultime you get a few cosmetics that they recently added to the real money store.
  2. Yes, there were some limited time events, but you can access them anytime from the world parameters and get the final reward. The difference is that you need to spend skell credits which is the in-game currency in order to buy the other weapons or gear from Maria's shop which is the in-game store. You won't get the rewards for just doing the missions.
  3. Yes, the game can be real fun since you can alter all the parameters in order to set the game the way you want. Immersive mode is a must in my opinion. I don't like the gear score. Thank god you can turn it off. And I am saying that as a person who played the campaign of wildlands 3 times. Hope this helps.

Just a heads up, if you're not careful you can accidently play the "final" mission of the main story after the intro mission. Or in the case of me and my friends who disabled gearscore, beat the it before we even knew what was happening. Note that this doesn't lock you out of anything, but it does change a few cutscenes. That aside the game is pretty fun. I've managed to get around 150ish hours of game time out of it, and I still hop on to roam around and play dressup with my army man.

Is there a specific region of the map I should avoid? Like "top left" or "bottom right" or maybe longitude and latitude

Despite how much request to add a coordinate system there was for Wildlands to the point they eventually did, Breakpoint didn't launch with one and there's not been talk of adding one. Breakpoint gives all of its directions by relation (north of this, west of that, near here).

He's referring to a mission called Brother vs Brother, and without going in to spoilers if you find yourself at place called Howard Airfield at the northern tip of the main island, do whatever you want there except enter the main building by using the keypad until you are ready.

I want to give you this huge tip my friend!...

Pick missions from the objectives board, where you can see the people’s pictures, and not from the tac map or from the pop-up suggested near by missions. This way you will be able to stay very tidy and on track with the story. My first play through I was picking all kinds of different missions based on proximity and the story started getting convoluted.

hey dude, its not really worth getting the special additions right now and the bonuses aren't really that good, I got the ultimate addition but it wasn't worth it. There have been some events but im not sure if the cosmetics or the weapons are limited time, the immersive mode is much better than the gear level. If i were you, i would put the hud to minimalized and the difficulty at advanced for the most fun, its hard but not annoying like extreme mode
