SILVER SPOON CASINO OPENS TODAY | 1.4.5

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


This update presents the latest new Freeplay heist: The Silver Spoon Casino! This expert difficulty heist brings some of the greatest challenges yet, and a giant open space to explore. I have also made some changes to difficulty balance between stealth and loud gameplay, and other improvements to several areas which you can read about below.

Please note that this heist is very large, and may perform poorly on some computers.

I hope you enjoy the new update!

I have detected a bug where guards may sometimes become aggressive to a player even in public areas after having done some unknown illegal act. This seems to be a very rare issue, as I have only experienced it once, but I hope to find a solution soon. If you experience this yourself, feel free to contact me and provide details about what you did before the guards became aggressive.
