Update 40: Janitor and FED Chairman changes, bug fixes and improvements!
The Janitor class has received some changes in this update, he no longer can recycle dead NPC bodies
on the spot, but instead now has to pick them up and throw them into garbage containers outside the bank to receive his recycle stacks and speed boost. He now is also able to carry dead players, but he has limited stamina while doing so, and while he can't recycle them, he is able to hide them around the bank, to make it harder for the robbers to revive their teammates. The new garbage container has been added to all existing maps, including the city custom map template, and can also be hand-placed on custom maps in the level editor.
This update also brings some balance changes to the FED Chairman class, with his printers now getting pinged if he revives teammates, and his revive progress being lost on death, which should limit his strength in larger lobbies with multiple FED Chairmen and very frequent revives.
Surge's strength has also been reduced, with his bullet reflection now only dealing 50% of the incoming damage, instead of reflecting the whole amount of incoming damage. Micro, on the other hand, has received a slight buff, with him now being able to carry up to 5,000$, allowing him to sneak money stacks out of vaults or hacked ATMs.
Multiple other improvements and bug fixes are also included in this update, with robbers now being shown dead teammates while wearing the "Fox Mask", Heavy's helicopter behavior fixes, and an improved Buffered Input system.
