[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h2]NEW[/h2][h3]General[/h3]

  • [p]Expanded the “How to Heist” guide with a Co-Op and Roguelite sections.[/p]
[p][/p][h2]UPDATES[/h2][h3]General[/h3]
  • [p]Every weekend is now a Double XP weekend.[/p]
  • [p]Response Curve in controller settings was changed to a slider.[/p]
[h3]Roguelite[/h3][p]Turf war tweaks[/p]
  • [p]Failing Attack Territory weakens the attacked turf, so it will have fewer soldiers the next time around (ensuring some progress even when failing)[/p]
  • [p]Winning Defend Territory strengthens your turf, and you will face fewer attackers on it during subsequent attacks (prevents the same turf being steamrolled by repeated attacks every day) • Slightly increased soldier counts on Hard and Extreme difficulties[/p]
[h3]Turf war cost balancing[/h3]
  • [p]Soldiers cost less to hire when you start the day with fewer soldier (making it easier to get back on your feet).[/p]
  • [p]When sending soldiers, each soldier above the required minimum is slightly cheaper (when you need the extra help, it’s not as costly to send a few more soldiers)[/p]
[h3]Difficulty tweaks[/h3][p]The aforementioned turf war tweaks have the most impact on the Normal difficulty, and less on Extreme
Slightly increased enemy soldier counts on Hard and Extreme difficulty[/p][p]Turf war cost balancing across all difficulties[/p]
  • [p]A missing character returning after a few days will no longer lose a weapon.[/p]
  • [p]Changed the configuration of starting characters to make DLC characters slightly more likely to appear.[/p]
  • [p]Stash categories are now ordered by volatility (more volatile loot can change its market value a lot every day, and doesn’t guarantee the price trend won’t change from day to day).[/p]

      Extreme: 16%
      (stats are without boss bonuses)[/p]
    2. [p]The number of detectives encountered at investigation thresholds is also affected by difficulty.[/p]
    3. [p]Killing a detective lowers investigation progress by 9%.[/p]
[p][/p][h2]FIXES[/h2]
  • [p]Various problems with glass not behaving correctly when damaged or broken, shot at with slow-moving projectiles, or displayed for clients.[/p]
  • [p]JIP’d players didn’t see loot bags on other players if the other player was carrying 4 bags. [/p]
  • [p]Various problems with glass not behaving correctly when damaged or broken, shot at with slow-moving projectiles, or displayed for clients.[/p]
  • [p]Missions selected for Shuffle should now again support all possible variants.[/p]

  • [p]Baker’s boss stats on the map should no longer incorrectly show 0 as the turf count.[/p]
