[2019] Breakpoint looks great, but rumors of tiered loot/enemies has me concerned

I'm really looking forward to Breakpoint. Without AI teammates and the new stealth mechanics I plan on playing this like a spiritual sequel to MGSV.

My main concern comes along with my preference to play stealthily. I rely on close quarter combat and suppressed headshots. I do not want to sneak into a base, shoot somebody in the head with a suppressed M4 and have them shake it off like I just threw glitter at them. I think it's a huge mistake to bring ghost Recon down this path. We already have the Division 2 which, in my opinion, is the best looter shooter available.

I know this is a bit of a rant, but this really makes me nervous. Almost like a forced tier one mode which I did not personally enjoy. Hopefully Ubisoft makes some changes to make the shooting and damaged models realistic. Bullet sponges have no place in a Ghost Recon game.

End rant

Edit: It sounds like I may be jumping to conclusions. I hope Ubi explains the tiered system in depth soon.
