Summer is here and so are the Summer Skins. Be the beach lion you see when you look in the mirror. Want to be a pineapple? Go for it. Cool off in an ice cream cone. French fries is the new black.. or maybe you just want a moustache big enough to frame Tom Selleck for your devious crimes

Have a lovely summer bandits and remember to stay unlawful.

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
  

What’s up, bandits?

So mark your crime itineraires and get ready for a smoother spree-sperience. Yes, that’s a word now.

In case you forgot what exactly is is you can look forward to in 1.8 here’s a few patch notes:

• Added a dedicated throw button for easier throwing!

Stay unlawful, bandits.

Heads up!

We are increasing the price of Rubber Bandits on Steam to align with the other platforms. That means, that from Sunday May 28th Rubber Bandits will cost $9.99 (or the equivalent currency in your region).

We want to give you notice before it happens in case you have friends who are thinking about joining you on a crime spree. Now would be the time to do it if they want to save a few bucks!

The primary reason behind this price change is to ensure consistency across all platforms. Additionally, we have released several exciting (and chaotic of course) updates to keep the game fun and exciting, and we feel that adjusting the price is a logical step forward.

But hey, we didn't want you to feel left out of the loop. We value you, our awesome community, and we want to make sure you're in on the scoop before anyone else. You're a bandit. And we value bandits.

Spread the word like wildfire and rally your fellow crime-doers to grab Rubber Bandits before the price hike hits. Join the heist and get ready for rubber-tastic adventures, crazy challenges, and epic rubber-powered chaos like never before.
