FBC: Firebreak – Rogue Protocol

Endless Shift sends teams of Firebreakers into sealed sections of the Oldest House, where survival depends on teamwork, risk-taking, and rapid adaptation. Each run pits squads against increasingly dangerous waves of Hiss enemies, rewarding successful combat with a new currency called Corruption. Corruption can be spent between waves to unlock Enhancements, weapons, and gear upgrades. No two runs of Endless Shift play out the same, encouraging experimentation and high-stakes decision-making from players.

Progression in Endless Shift extends beyond individual runs. Completing Shifts (runs) unlocks new Enhancements for future attempts, exclusive cosmetics, and allows select upgrades earned in the mode to temporarily carry over into standard Crisis missions, directly tying Endless Shift into the core FBC: Firebreak experience. In addition to Endless Shift, the Rogue Protocol update includes cool new weapon inspection animations, new cosmetic items, gameplay improvements, and a range of bug fixes and stability updates.

Free Steam Weekend & Double XP Event

To celebrate the launch of Major Update Rogue Protocol and the Endless Shift mode, FBC: Firebreak will be free to play on Steam between January 23-25 at 10am PT, allowing new players to jump in and experience Endless Shift and the entire game at no cost. Alongside the free weekend, Remedy is running a Double XP event across all platforms, giving players twice the experience points from all activities for the duration of the event. This makes it the perfect time to level up, unlock new rewards, and experiment with new builds.
