Ghost Recon Breakpoint has filled a niche for many people when it comes to stealth FPS gaming. Many of us, however, would love to see a new Spinter Cell. Unfortunately, there appears to be no sign that Sam Fisher will make his way into 2020 outside of the numerous cameos and an anime<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, with at least the cameo in Breakpoint and the Echelon class, we can somewhat approximate playing Splinter Cell in Breakpoint. This series will cover that experience. Here’s how I decided to play it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I set a rule: Only using 1 rifle and a pistol. Initially I also tried to stick to just the DLC weapons from the Splinter Cell Universe, but I couldn’t stand using the Paladin 9 sniper rifle (which is practically the worst sniper rifle in the game). Instead, I stuck with my usual Recon A1 for most of the game, occasionally making use of the Echelon SMG or the SC40K. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For at least part of the series I played without NPC markers, but I later decided to add them in, as they’ve been in Splinter Cell, too. I also disabled AI teammates; Sam prefers to work alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I wanted to spend as much time as I could up close and personal, subduing foes much like our friend Sam would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step in my goal, however, was to actually max out the Echelon class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stabbing the night away..<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The challenges when maxing a class are always related to the primary skills of the class. In the case of the Echelon class, you’ll be spending a lot of time stabbing, and stabbing, and stabbing.. I got really good at hunting patrols like these for an easy way to get the required number of stabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
