About FBC: Firebreak
FBC: Firebreak drops players into the Federal Bureau of Control’s headquarters during a relentless siege. As members of the elite Firebreak unit, three‑person squads confront reality‑bending anomalies and otherworldly monsters in a first‑person shooter setting. The game emphasizes teamwork, load‑out customization, and rapid response to ever‑changing crises. Players can join friends or strangers online, leveraging a variety of weapons, tools, and augments to survive the chaotic environments of the Oldest House.
01 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Play
Firebreak is built around three‑player cooperative missions where each participant acts as a first responder. Success depends on quick thinking and coordinated actions to contain paranormal threats across multiple locations.
The game does not limit you to a single playstyle; any combination of teammates can experiment with different roles, making each crisis a test of group synergy rather than solo skill.
- Communicate enemy types early to allocate tools efficiently.
- Rotate responsibilities—one player can focus on crowd control while another secures objectives.

Crisis Kit Customization
Before each deployment, players select a weapon and assemble a Crisis Kit with specialized tools, grenades, support items, and paranatural augments. These choices shape how you approach each scenario.
Loadouts are fully modifiable, allowing you to experiment with different combinations to find a setup that complements your teammates and the mission’s demands.
- Mix defensive augments with offensive tools for balanced survivability.
- Test new configurations in low‑difficulty runs before tackling harder crises.

Cross‑Platform Multiplayer
Firebreak supports online co‑op across platforms, letting players on Windows connect with each other regardless of hardware. This broadens the pool of potential teammates.
Cross‑play is seamless; no separate matchmaking queues are mentioned, so any online player can join a session with friends on a different system.
- Invite friends via the game’s lobby to ensure you’re matched together.
- Check your network settings if you experience lag, as cross‑platform traffic can vary.
