Players can look forward to engaging in replayable missions, dubbed Jobs, which will offer varied challenges, objectives, and environments that encourage teamwork and adaptability. Additionally, Remedy unveiled the FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition, priced at $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99, which includes exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs.

- Classified Requisition: “Firestarter”: A collection of 36 unlockable cosmetic items including weapon skins, sprays, and armor sets
FBC: Firebreak introduces the Requisitions system, designed to reward players with new gear and cosmetics earned through gameplay. These Requisitions can encompass weapons, equipment, armor, sprays, and more, all unlockable with in-game currency. Importantly, there are no limited-time windows or rotating stores; all items remain available indefinitely.
For those seeking further customization, Classified Requisitions offer premium cosmetic items, such as armor sets, custom voice packs, sprays, and weapon skins, available for purchase with real money. These items are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay, ensuring a fair experience for all players.
Remedy has committed to ongoing support for FBC: Firebreak post-launch, with plans to introduce two new Jobs in 2025, followed by additional updates in 2026. All new playable content, including Jobs, will be free to all players. While cosmetic items will be available for purchase, they will not impact gameplay and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-in requirements.
As Remedy continues to expand its portfolio, it's also actively developing Control 2 and the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation, keeping fans eagerly anticipating what's next from this innovative studio.
