It's that time of year again: starting now and until the 29th, we've got the heatwave in-game event happening. Yes, things are gonna get hot before they cool off for winter.

If you've been here before, you'll know what to expect. If not, you'll find a certain new kind of van on the streets and a mystery that could play out for months to come.

We've also got a couple of access codes for the event that'll be shared in Discord (including one for credits), plus plenty of smaller bits of content, NPC interactions and things to find.

As an additional special this time, the event will also contain a preview opportunity to get a first date with Miriam, but I gotta warn you, it's very spicy. Darlene is coming soon too.

Join our Discord to make sure you don't miss out on any codes during the event.



Also, just to keep you in the loop, there will be discounts on both book DLCs, Thirst and the OST during Steam's autumn and winter sales, so if you were thinking of grabbing any of those, that will be your time.

Doing shift work for some semi-dodgy geezer in the slums might not seem like that big a deal, and it isn't, really. but it's illustrative of one of the many, many, many choices you have for role playing and making money in the game. It might be a boring side line at best for some players, but absolutely spot on in terms of role playing for others.

Shannon's and the associated shift work has been in the game for a long while now (since the Burnin' rubber update, almost exactly two years ago). This block of new content brings a lot more interest to the shifts themselves, with more things to do and more random occurrences, plus more content around the mechanic – why you're doing it, asking for a raise, etc. Plus... well, it would be a spoiler to mention anything else about that right now.



If you've not found Shannon's at all yet, it's a garage in the slums. It's where you get vehicles serviced and modified, amongst other things, and the easiest way to find Shae, the airport's premier bike mechanic, is also through Shannon. The best way to find Shannon is by getting your hands on a couple of vehicles, then asking Raff about where you might find someone to work on them. To get shift work there, making sure you conduct a lot of business with Shannon over time.

And if you're thinking something along the lines of "wow, I've been playing for a while and had never heard of this place", well, there's probably a lot more still waiting for you. Each area has its secret places, characters, stories and things to do. But you've got to work on finding them – they won't generally fall into your lap.
