There isn't a single aspect of Ghost Recon Breakpoint that Ubisoft won't try to monetize. Aside from its multiple special editions and "year one" DLC pass, Breakpoint has microtransactions. LOTS of microtransactions.

From cosmetics to gun upgrades to skill points, everything's for sale. "Time-savers" and weapon blueprints, vehicles and body gear, it can all be bought with the game's premium "ghost points" currency. A lot of it can be grinded for, but the ability to purchase upgrades immediately is being derided as pay-to-win, and really, it's not hard to see why.

Breakpoint is yet another boring "AAA" service game that's only really concerned with servicing Ubisoft's bank account.
