According to leaks,Far Cry New Dawn’s collab will feature quite an overpowered kit which includes grenade launches and turrets.
In the replies to apostleaking the new collaboration, fans of the shooter were quick to express their frustration with yet another unbalanced update.
“We need to stop adding grenade launchers and shields into games,” one reply read.
Another said: “Why do you insist on ruining the aspects of this game that made it better than COD? Riot shields, noob tubes… continue down this path and you’ll end up just being a low budget COD.”

WithXDefiantalready being criticised for its lack of originality, adding this new kit is not going to help Ubisoft’s cause.
However, it seems as though the biggest source of frustration comes from the distinct lack of one important Ubisoft franchise:Assassin’s Creed.
“Ok I’ve come to terms that they are purposely p**sing me off,” another comment read.
“Where is the Assassin’s Creed character?”
