Hi Bandits!

Today we are making crime more enjoyable with our 1.8 patch: “Quality of Crime”.

The changes come from both data collected from our players and community feedback.

[h2]Features
[/h2]

• A dedicated throw button? You better believe it.
  
• Upgraded the shotgun and boxing gloves. As if it didn’t already feel good to use them, now it feels amazing.
  
• Even crime lords have emotions. And now you can emote everywhere at any point during the game.
  
• The most chaotic game in the world just got slightly more chaotic. Randomize your accessories from the shop and shuffle them at your convenience.
  
• Added a game mode tutorial for the crime n00bs
  
• Destroy the evidence! Added ability to reset arcade progress from the menu.
  

[h2]Gameplay improvements
[/h2]

• There is crime and then there’s spawn camping. The crime of crimes. Random spawn points each time should prevent this.
  
• Refined auto aim / direction lock for better control over your bandit.
  
• You can run but you can’t hide from justice. Added player position indicators for easier tracking of other bandits.
  
• You can now get hit in Bomb Panic while blinking.
  
• Made it easier for players to be hit while roped.
  
• Created better breakable walls with chinks you can pick up and throw for all of you vandals out there.
  
• Tuned underdog bonus to be more fair for leading players.
  
• Made general improvements to the camera
  
• Our forefathers died for our right to vote in a free democracy but if that doesn’t matter to you it is now possible to drop out of a game during voting.
  

[h2]Bug fixes
[/h2]

• Fixed bandits breaking and flying all over the place (We embrace chaos but not that much)
  
• Fixed floaty arms after being knocked out.
  
• Fixed strange twitching when idling.
  
• Fixed barehanded combat only partially working.
  
• And much more
  

[h2]Improved visuals
[/h2]

• Improved points screen for better understanding of game progress
  
• Improved message for when time is up in a round
  
• Clearer icons during gameplay (e.g. loot, weapons, cops...)
  
• Added disappear effects to everything that gets destroyed
  
• Made portraits of bandits show the style they have equipped
  
• Plenty more miscellaneous quality of life and visual improvements
