Breakpoint Terminator Event: Clear Sky Recap/Guide
Good news, everyone! The bad news is that you’re going to be taking on a LOT more Terminators with the second part of the main story quest. The good news is that you’re going to have a much easier time of it.
#1: Talk To Rasa Aldwin, Get A Compensator
You’ll need to talk to Rasa Aldwin to pick up the second story quest for the Terminator event. Starting the mission will unlock the Termination Compensator which deals 30% additional damage to a Terminator’s weak point. It rips through Terminators like butter. While you’re at Erewhon, I recommend upgrading your Mk14 Termination sniper rifle by going to the store and printing up a new one. Since you’ve likely gained some levels since you first obtained the sniper, this one will have higher stats and do more damage. Easy peasy.
Rasa will send you to hack an antenna because the Terminators are going hog wild and frankly life on Auroa was simpler when it was just the Sentinel army turning it into a militaristic dystopia. Head over to the location on the map and you’ll need to hack an antenna which picks up an electromagnetic signal coming from a nearby base. There’s some heavy Terminator activity and you’re going to need to find out what it is.
#2: Investigate The Electromagnetic Pattern
Head over to the marker on your map and get ready for a fight. You’ll come upon the Smuggler Coves base under attack by several Terminators which should be no problem to take down now that your superpowered sniper can rip through them like a fork through shredded pork. The Sentinel occupancy here isn’t that great and most of the soldiers will be dead by the time you get there, so your only opposition should be the couple of Terminators.
Investigate the disturbance and you’ll discover that the facility is none other than a T-800 production plant. They’re making more Terminators! Destroy the four cooling vents to force the airlock to open and head on inside.
#3: Terminators Everywhere And Not A Drop To Drink
You’ll face a slight variation of the T800 models down here. There are more of them in a tightly confined space but they are nowhere near as powerful as their fully kitted out brethren. You should have no problem taking them down with a full clip of the Mk14 sniper. Same rules apply; whittle down the blue health bar and then shoot them in the chest until they go boom.
Get to the control room and you’ll take on the big Terminator himself. Same rules apply but in a smaller room. Watch out for the Terminators that spawn during the fight.
#4: Escape And Talk To Rasa
Once you terminate the Terminator the building will begin its self destruct sequence. Escape past the large number of Terminators (don’t stop to fight them) and lock the facility behind you. Enjoy the fireworks.
Return to Erewhon and talk to Rasa and you’ll be officially done with the story mission. At this point you should be essentially done with the battle pass assuming you have completed the prior daily missions. If not you still have through February 6 to get those remaining daily missions completed. You can take part in the daily missions going forward for their various rewards.
Also, enjoy the grenade launcher!
Ghost Recon Breakpoint: 5 More Tips For Terminator Event
Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is in the middle of an invasion by Skynet, and that means killing plenty of Terminators.
Right now we’re in day three of the Terminator event and mission #2 should be releasing on February 1. With that in mind I’ve decided to delve a little deeper and talk about more tips for killing those metal rust buckets making life on Auroa just a little rougher.
#1: You Can Kite Terminators Across The Island
Have a lot of time and patience? You can kite Terminators pretty much anywhere. Kiting refers to pulling enemies away from where they would normally be hanging out.
In tip #3 for the last article I mentioned that Terminators can and will mow down an enemy base in order to get to you, and that Skell soldiers will in turn open fire on a Terminator once it is activated in their vicinity. You will know this is happening because the “faction warfare” indicator will pop up on your radar.
What you might not know is that with enough time and effort you can pull that Terminator along like a pull-string duck taking them from base to base and using it as your own personal walking turret, granted one that will prioritize your death over everything else. Awesome. Just remember that the Terminator is not in any way subtle so bringing it as your +1 to a base party is almost guaranteed to get reinforcements called in. You probably also lose out on some exp gain in the process.
If you are looking to cheese the game some people have reported success in pulling the Terminator into being submerged in water which apparently is an instant kill. This isn’t a guarantee.
#2: “I Can’t Start The Mission!”
There have been bug reports from people who are unable to start the event period. Ghost Recon doesn’t allow them to obtain the mission kicking off the whole Terminator event as it just isn’t available from Maria Schulz. The most reliable fix for this seems to be joining co-op with someone who has the mission available. You want to look for “The Coming Storm,” a green faction mission in Erewhon. Taking the mission in co-op will keep it available in single player so you are free to go back into solo mode and the rest of the missions should come up fine.
An alternate answer appears to be creating a second character. Unfortunately neither of these two options is a 100% guaranteed fix. Ubisoft is evidently aware of the problem and hopefully can provide a suitable fix before the event is done and people lose out completely.
#3: Terminator Damage Is In Two Stages
This one should be self evident given the big glowing red light that pops up once you bring a Terminator’s health down, but it’s worth noting given the confusion I’ve seen on the forums and Reddit.
Each Terminator has two stages of damage that operate differently and may be confusing. The first stage you’ll find a Terminator in is the blue bar of health that gets whittled down by many of the weapons in your armament (see below). Once you knock down the blue health bar, the Terminator will go into mode #2 where you see the big glowing red light on its chest. This is the part where you’ll absolutely need to use the Mk14 sniper to overload its circuits.
Despite what conventional wisdom will tell you, this red bar is a count up, not a countdown. So you’ll fill the bar instead of depleting it in order to overload the Terminator. A small distinction but one that might result in your fights making a little more sense and give a better idea of how close your are to killing the Terminator. You’ll know you are damaging the core because of the distinct sound that each hit makes.
#4: Mk14 Needed To Kill, Not To Damage
Conventional weapons cannot kill a Terminator, however this does not mean you are stuck using the Mk14 for the whole fight. In fact you’re likely to find just about any other weapon in your loadout is more effective at whittling down a Terminator than a slow shooting sniper rifle. Youtuber Mannocrity found that the best way to take down a Terminator is with the Stoner light machine gun kitted to effectively make it a laser.
Your mileage may vary and you might find a weapon better suited for your play style in taking down Terminators. Where the Mk14 comes in however is the stage of overloading the Terminator’s circuits. You absolutely need the Mk14 for this stage. Otherwise Terminators are classified as drones in Breakpoint’s system so if you have a weapon that is better built for taking down drones, use it. It will most likely serve you better for that first stage.
#5: Maria Schulz Has More Cosmetics
There are 21 levels of rewards for the Terminator event battle pass, however if you have some Skell credits to spend you can head over to Maria Schulz’s shop in Erewhon and buy some extra goodies for your character. Personally I like the torn arm sleeves and damaged face (see photo above). The items aren’t too expensive and it’s pretty obvious which ones are from the Terminator franchise.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint: 5 Tips For The Terminator Event
Today marks the launch of the Terminator event in Ghost Recon Breakpoint and MMO Fallout is here with some tips to know before you go in.
For those looking to join in on the crossover, the Terminator event starts on January 29 and runs until February 6. You will immediately receive a notice upon login that a mission is available in Erewhon, your secret hideout. The story mission will send you out to track down the whereabouts of a mysterious person who showed up and managed to kill several drones all on her own. Spoiler: She’s from the future. How does the island in Breakpoint factor into the Terminator universe? You’ll have to play to find out.
Here are five tips on the Breakpoint Terminator event.
#1: You Don’t Need To Be Far To Take Part
The plus side is that you don’t need to be far into Breakpoint’s story in order to take part in the Terminator event. It looks like as long as you have completed the few missions you need to access Erewhon, you’ll be fine. If you bought Breakpoint just to take part in the Terminator event, you’ll need to finish roughly 30 minutes of story mode before you get to Erewhon.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint features a gear score system that shouldn’t have any effect on your enjoyment of the game. We played on a pretty low level character that hadn’t gotten too far in the main story and had no problem taking down Terminators and the standard human opponents that tend to congregate around them. At least on the first day the side missions tend to appear in lower level areas. The only thing getting further into the game will help with is making enemies easier to dispatch and having access to more fast travel locations.
#2: The Battle Pass Looks Ridiculously Fast
If the idea of a battle pass being thrown into this event has you worried, you’re in good hands. For the Terminator event the battle pass has 21 levels each of which offers some kind of customization from the movie such as the punk outfits, Sarah Connor’s glasses, and the Terminator’s motorcycle. There are also blueprints for an Uzi and an AR-18.
After completing the first main mission and day one’s three daily missions (which took about an hour total), our battle pass was already at level 10. End of day one and already halfway done. At this rated it should take three, maybe four days total to get our hands on all of the event items.
#3: Let The Terminator Do Your Work
Small spoiler; the Terminators are not working with the Skell, but they are infiltrating their bases. Once you shoot a Terminator or activate its defenses it does become an enemy to the Skell forces that are around and they will shoot at it.
Marking enemy soldiers with your drone will tell you who the Terminator soldier is, and more often than not it’s not just one. Activate the bot and watch it whittle down the base’s defenses as they fruitlessly try to destroy it. You can even string the Terminators along like pets letting them follow you around the base and pick off any Skell that try to shoot at them. Once you are free of distractions, take the Terminators down.
#4: Don’t Expect Any Stealth
Your Terminator fights are going to be loud and they are going to attract other enemy soldiers over the course of the fight. Outside of the fact that your fight with the Terminator is going to be drawn out and very loud (the Terminators dual wield shotgun/rifle), the Mk14 you are carrying will not stand for being silenced, aka you can’t put a silencer on it.
Given that your battles with the Terminator are going to involve a lot of running and gunning, you’ll need to keep an eye on your compass and deal with the numerous soldiers that are going to be alerted to your position and all the backup that is going to be called. Thankfully if your mark is in a good spot you can always find a vantage point and just let the Terminator deal with the backup. They are very efficient at sweeping things up.
This also means you’re going to want to store that sniper rifle between missions unless you really want to make an entrance.
#5: This Isn’t A World-Over Event
You might be thinking “oh great, now I’ll have to deal with ridiculous bullet sponges ruining my experience for the next week.” Incorrect.
Another plus side to the event is that it is very much contained within a few small areas. Each day is going to bring in new daily missions which revolve around a base or encampment. Outside of these daily missions, you won’t run into an army of T800s running around the island. The event is supposed to be smaller, so there are a handful of Terminators that are on the island, not a thousand.
So at the very least you know exactly where the Terminators are going to show up.
