FBC Firebreak weapons and top picks
The progression system in FBC: Firebreak isn't just about leveling up; it forces you to make strategic decisions about which weapons to unlock and upgrade first. Understanding how Requisitions and weapon quality work makes all the difference in the later content.
How to unlock all weapons in FBC Firebreak
FBC: Firebreak offers a diverse arsenal of weapons to defend yourself against the Hiss hordes. While only a few are available at the start, you'll need to level up and spend Lost Assets to unlock more powerful and effective options.
Most of the new weapons in FBC: Firebreak are upgraded versions of the initial ones, but there are also exclusive types that you can only obtain by exploring the more advanced pages of the Requisitions menu. For example, the Machine Gun is unlocked starting on page 2 and appears on later pages with increased quality and power.

The process for upgrading weapons in FBC: Firebreak has been simplified after the first updates, and it will likely evolve further with future patches from Remedy. For now, the basic mechanics for increasing their quality remain unchanged.
When you unlock a weapon, it starts with the lowest available quality. The same weapons will reappear on subsequent Requisition pages, allowing you to upgrade their quality when you acquire them again. The exceptions are the Revolver, Double Barrel Shotgun, and Submachine Gun on the first page, which start with Functional quality by default.
The best weapons in FBC: Firebreak to unlock first 🚀
Prioritize unlocking the Machine Gun and Pump Action Shotgun; they are two of the most powerful weapons in FBC: Firebreak, ideal for different playstyles and encounters.
The Machine Gun is a versatile weapon for crowd control or quickly eliminating tough targets. It's a significant upgrade over the starting Submachine Gun, even after upgrading it. However, it starts with Faulty quality, so investing in upgrades as soon as possible is crucial to ensure its effectiveness.
Shotguns are known for their power against armored enemies and bosses, with the Pump-Action Shotgun being the most effective. The Double-Barrel Shotgun has limitations in ammo capacity and reload speed, which affects its performance compared to the pump-action version, allowing for longer periods of uninterrupted combat.
Beyond that, focus on upgrading your favorite weapons to at least Functional quality, as Defective weapons are of little use in more difficult missions. This will prepare you to successfully tackle the advanced content of FBC: Firebreak.
