Weaken gang missions improvements
1. The army-tier lowering effect of the final turf mission is now permanent and affects the entire gang (instead of a one-time effect for that turf alone).
2. Only a single weaken gang mission for lowering army tiers appears on a gang’s final turf (as the effect doesn’t stack, and the mission would be a waste of resources).
3. Can no longer be started without having the required planning cost.
4. Should no longer spawn on a turf with a detective where they would do nothing.
5. The army-tier lowering mission should no longer spawn for Cagnali when she has robots, as it would have no effect.
6. The missions are now cleared from the map after agreeing to a truce.
Clarified the presentation of being unable to recapture a turf the same day you lost it (show a disabled Attack Territory mission instead of simply hiding it).
Bankruptcy notification now differentiates between having some loot in stash or not.
The list of assets in the office is now sorted by price.
The office now shows the accurate total number of all assets (instead of the total number of assets currently available for purchase).

Fixes:

Cover generation was suffering from issue in some missions making bots die fast and act erratically.
Multiple fail-safes to prevent progress loss on game crash/ electricity loss/ etc.
Non-player characters (bots) in Multiplayer no longer take a hidden 4% mission cut each.
Collected loot in The Hidden Vault is no longer counted twice.
Campaign reward boss skins who previously did not have any voices have basic voices now.
Players and bots now regenerate health correctly even if bot switch is used before revive.
Information about unlocked campaign achievements should now persist after ending the campaign run. This enables save transfer between platforms for all newly unlocked campaign achievements.
“First One’s Free” achievement can now be retriggered during every campaign run.
Certain temporary turf effects (lowered soldier count, and attack prevention) are now properly restored when the game reloads.
Completing a standalone plotline (i.e. Gold Cup, Cagnali’s Order) no longer congratulates the player for conquering the entire city.
Goals and random events related to lowering investigation are now automatically cancelled when the investigation progress reaches 100%, as they would no longer have any effect.
Price trends in stash now have a more favorable initial distribution. This prevents cases when they would all start in the negative and stay that way for a few days.
Loot values required in goals and cutscenes now properly reflect price trends.
Heat changes were not applied after story missions.
The main objective of a mission against Hielo incorrectly mentioned Dollar Dragon.
Text in the choice at the end of Cagnali’s Order mentioned neutralizing turfs when, in fact, the player becomes the owner of the turfs.
Failing “Rescue Khan's Dealer” no longer triggers the failure cutscene after every mission while the goal is active.
It is no longer possible to triple a medium heist reward by gathering intel multiple times with a single soldier.
Generic characters in random event cutscenes now use the new naming (Merc, Brute, Thief).
An early Money Train cutscene should no longer mention Hielo if he is gone from the city.
Import/ Export final plotline rewards now match what the completion pop-up promises.
The detective bonus objective is no longer replaced on the debrief screen if you kill a detective during the mission.
Progression XP is now correctly awarded to all campaign missions that skip the debrief screen (i.e. character missions and certain story missions).
Campaign boss level evaluation gets triggered at the start of a campaign (not just after load) in case there are remaining pending rewards.
Username was seen in subtitles instead of character name in Character missions.
Client should now see computer screens in control room of Gold Cup after joining the mission in progress.
Players should be able to join Dragon Dogs mission in progress without issues with lift replication now.
The asset counter in the Office gets updated correctly after acquiring a story asset.
Equipment cooldown is now correctly used for “Toolkit” perk.
The equipment recharge speed bonus of the “Toolkit” perk now combines correctly with Thief’s bonus.
“Resistance” perk now correctly shortens the duration of conditions such as stun, flash, etc.
Player can bag the bodies of detectives now.
Touchdown’s gun on the “Defend Territory” loading screen picture is now the correct variant used in the actual mission.
Sometimes, snooping devices would not have correctly marked placement. This should not occur anymore.
When a campaign turf becomes too crowded with missions (visually larger turfs support more icons), new missions will attempt to spawn elsewhere (unless the crowded turf is the only option due to other spawning rules). This should result in a better mission distribution and mostly prevent the problem with not being able to select a mission due to overlapping icons.
Asset goals (Piano, Penthouse) will now react to the asset purchase immediately when it happens.
Completing only 1-2 truck missions successfully in Armored Cash will still mark the related task as successful, instead of leaving it open.
“Cagnali’s Fortress” mission:
1. Should now show an accurate maximal reward.
2. Should now give a vastly increased reward in the campaign (previously it used the default amount).
3. It always gave the maximal reward in Multiplayer. Now it’s based on mission progress and performance.
Several typos fixed.

Modding:

Implementing a UGC plugin for loading mods (Unreal Engine plugins), giving you the ability to Blueprint mod the game.
Creating composite tables for the most-used DatabaseTables with BP functions to append new (or existing) tables into the composite tables, which is great for replacing or adding new weapons, for example.
Adding the ability to add gameplay tags with the UGC Mod.
When a campaign mode defines no map layout presets, gang starting positions will fallback to random, valid turfs (which allows for completely randomized starting positions).

Known issues:

“Follow me” command makes bots drop bags
Daily reward prompt is not visible in debrief screen
First asset in not available for purchase when you visit “assets” screen for the first time in Campaign
Guards sometimes do not pick up the distraction magazine
Robots react to distraction magazine
NPCs sometimes do not react to player after picking up the distraction magazine
