COMBAT AND CONVENIENCE | 1.4.8

If you enjoy the game, consider leaving a review! It helps a lot!


With this update, I want to put a greater focus on actively using equipment during combat, and have therefore increased the effectiveness of several tools. To further encourage experimentation, access to the equipment store directly from a heist has returned, after previously being removed for compatibility issues with the driving mechanic.

I hope you enjoy the new update!
