Updates:

  • Rebalanced damage/rarity
  • Melee weapons could hit multiple enemies at once

    • Jupiter – Import Export
      • Jupiter is replaced by the maxed-out Roidiac Jupiter near the conclusion of her plotline, even without owning the DLC
  • gaps between missions are now primarily based on timers, not other conditions
  • progress is still remembered, and after completing them, they start anew
  • no longer trigger in Roguelite to allow the related characters to be used and generated in the market normally after they are unlocked in the progression system
• [WIP] Campaign black market overhaul
  • overall better balance of items (guaranteed representation of specific item categories)
  • generated items are more appropriate for the player’s current respect
  • if no items of requested rarity are unlocked or available, fallback to lower rarities
  • a slight preference to generate items that the player does not yet own
  • lower-rarity equipment (i.e. brick) is still occasionally generated with higher respect
  • multiple copies of the same item may be purchased (with sharply increasing cost)
  • the shop automatically refreshes when your respect increases
• Generating weapon skins in the campaign may now be toggled in settings
• Campaign difficulty changes
  • Mission rewards are slightly higher on all difficulties
  • Costs (turf war, shop, plotlines…) are now increased on Hard and Extreme difficulties
• Multiplayer difficulty changes
  • Mission rewards are higher for hard and extreme difficulty.
• Max range added for some weapons so AI can for example not engage at high distances with a pistol
• Bots now remain in the lobby after a mission (except when changing game mode).
• Bots will be less eager to autonomously 
  • Subdue enemies in stealth
  • Gather loot bags in defense mode
• Multiplayer DLC items availability
  • Most DLC items are now owned by default and don’t need to be purchased with co-op funds
  • Exceptions are straight upgrades to other DLC items
    • Perks level 2 & 3
    • Variants of other DLC weapons
• There is now a delay before the escape van arrives when the alarm is triggered in Assassination missions
• Unrestrained civilians are not threatened by players or bots except at very close range
• All enemies (even mini-bosses) could be killed by a single melee attack in stealth
• Balancing:
  • Distraction magazine has 45s cooldown (was 60s)
  • Combat booster has 36s cooldown (was 150s), but its active duration was decreased from 20s to 6s
  • Increased damage of all (throwable) explosives
• Reload for SMGs (empty weapon reload) is 15% faster
• All MGs and semi-automatic rifles have low penetration (able to slightly injure 1 enemy behind the one directly hit)
• Sniper rifles have high penetration (up to 4 enemies) and can penetrate Shielder’s shield
• Shotguns penetrate enemies if they are (both targets) closer than 5m
• To protect the "Clean Execution" objective, the penetrating projectile will never kill civilians.
• Jupiter can carry 3 bags again.
• Various optimizations

Fixes:

• Campaign turf war map
  • Initial gang tile spawn should now aim to create a connected block, if possible
  • Gang attacks are now processed in a random order, which should make it fairer for Cagnali and Dollar Dragon to get their attacks in before Hielo and Khan
• Random event cutscenes should no longer trigger before big heist plotline cutscenes (which now have priority when the day starts)
• Fixed a few issues with campaign screens sometimes overlapping
• Fixed the aspect ratio of the Free Graves co-op job tile picture
• Fixed the check for weapons having compatible weapon skins which resulted in false positives in some cases
• Corrected a lot of typos and small mistakes in texts.
• Weapons sometimes would not unholster (slow load)
• Unholstering previous weapon after Downstate was not working
• Clients could hear special sound effects when their teammate is downed
• Gold Cup - The client had corrupted control when using anti-aircraft turret guns
• Gold Cup - The client did not hear anti-aircraft turrets shooting sound
• Armored Truck Heist - Bags could fall out of reach, through the bottom of the truck
• Subtitles showed incorrect nicknames if the host and client use the same skin on the boss character
