Ghost Recon: Breakpoint – The First Perks You Need To Unlock To Level Up Faster | Bonus XP Guide

October 4, 2019 by Kevin Thielenhaus

Level up your Ghost faster with these three incredibly useful skills you can grab at the start of the game.

You can start earning way more XP right away in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint just by unlocking the right perks. If you follow these steps, you can unlock all three perks very, very early in the game. The earlier you get these perks, the more you’ll benefit from the easy XP gains. It takes a slight change of gameplay style, but if you’re focused on Stealth, this is a no-brainer method for quickly accumulating all that XP you need.

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint puts your elite spec-ops squad on an island overrun by enemy mercenaries and high-tech drone war-machines, bent on wrecking the world. As a Ghost, it’s your job to work with friends and solve the mystery of the Auroa island takeover. It’s a tough job, as the newest game includes a bunch of survivor mechanics, taking away your ability to be a Rambo-like super-soldier. You’ll have to play carefully, and earning lots of XP to unlock more perks is a pretty good way to stay alive longer.


The First Perks You Need To Unlock To Level Up Faster | Bonus XP Guide

Earn in the game, you can unlock three incredibly useful skills / Perks that make leveling up way, way easier. Only one of these ‘Perks’ needs to be equipped to your character. The other two are passives, so you’ll instantly earn more XP right from the start of the game.

  • Experience Upgrade [Passive]: +20% XP Bonus
  • Pistolero [Perk]: +40% XP Bonus while using a Handgun.
  • Recon Master [Passive]: +50 XP when marking enemies with your drone.

Bonus: At any Camps, Select ‘Research‘ Preparations for +10% XP for +1 Hour.

These three perks all include bonus XP rewards. The Experience Upgrade perk is in the ‘Basic’ circle — while Pistolero is in the connecting ‘Weapons’ circle, and Recon Master is in the ‘Recon’ circle. Once you unlock two skills in the ‘Basic’ circle, these two new skill circles will unlock.

Basically, this is a stealth-focused build that gives you huge bonuses for using silenced pistols and marking enemies with drones. To get even more XP, I recommend selecting the Panther class — silencers don’t decrease damage with Pistols / SMGs, and you’ll want the Slim Shadow perk, which gives you a huge +80% bonus to stealth and vanish. That makes getting close a lot easier.

For drones, I recommend grabbing the Drone Mark Area upgrade from the Skills menu. This increases the area-of-effect for drone marking by +75%. As you reach new areas, you’ll encounter increasingly large groups of enemies. This makes marking them with your drone a whole lot easier and faster.

Combine these perks, including the +10% XP camp bonus, and you’ll be earning +70% XP for every pistol kill, +65 XP for marking enemies, and +30% XP for everything else. Just enjoy as the XP rolls in, and you won’t have to grind just to survive in the harsh environment of Auroa.
