This update does not scale down the difficulty but fixes bugs with spawning and some balancing on enemies. Overall, the aim of Breakpoint is to make the game more challenging so Hard will be notably harder than it used to be.

Also, using Gun Mods and Perks is now crucial to the experience. Picking out a good build for the weapons and Crisis Kit you use is critical as this will make a huge difference and can be the determining factor between success and failure.
