Crime Boss: Rockay City (Epic, XSX, PS5) Update 3 (2023 August 29)

IMPROVEMENTS

• New scenarios and environments
  • Those missions appear in both the campaign and Crime Time and provide variety in both gameplay and environments.
• Earlier respect levels
  • Gas Station.
• Mid-to-late respect levels
  • Car Dealer.
  • Truck Convoy.
• Improved stealth gameplay
  • Stronger stealth takedown.
  • Balanced AI perception and reactions.
  • Rebalance of silencers.
• Shuffle mission chains mode in Crime Time
  • This is a new way to play missions: Randomized mission chains which come in three challenging difficulty tiers, that give greater rewards and respect points when fully completed.
• Balance changes to campaign economy.
• “New Blood” Urban Legend difficulty balance
  • Adjusted the difficulty for the first Urban Legend chain.
• Character missions’ persistency
  • The player’s progression through individual character missions is remembered through campaign runs, and a unique character dying in their character mission does not cause the plotline to reset – in the next campaign run, it resumes after the last successful character mission instead (or gives the maxed-out character if it was completed).
  • The plotline only resets when the unique character dies through regular means, and not in their character mission.
• Added option to kick/mute/examine profiles in missions in Multiplayer.
  • This is dependent on the platform. Kicking is only available to hosts.
• Turf war Defense can be played without soldiers.
  • Touchdown can go alone to the Defense mission.
• Color-coded goals in Campaign for easier navigation in Goals.
• Score in Urban Legends is present now.
• Respect in Crime Time improvements.

• Character unlock conditions are now visible in the game.
• Lobby privacy setting (private/public) is more visible now.
• Optimizations to the Dragon Dogs mission which will make performance better.

• When a weapon is given as a reward for turf war captures, it is now visualized better to the player, including weapon rarity.
• Touchdown is more resilient in turf war Defense missions.
• Redefined weapon selection for characters in Urban Legends.
• Lowered the range of grenades thrown by AI at the player.
• Baker is no longer needed for the “Defend Warehouse” mission, and it cannot appear on lower respect levels.
• The planning cost is lowered in the campaign for bigger missions.

• Descriptions of game modes are updated to be more explanatory.
• Added a new screen in Crime Time which introduces the game mode to the player the first time it is opened.
