Contraband Police News

[h3]Comrades![/h3]

We would like to bring you the latest news from Acaristan. According to our intel, work on the Endless Mode is going great, as proof of which KGP provided us with some photos from the Border Crossing in Karikatka.







The mode will include:

• Extensive expansion of the outpost (roads, gates, garage, fences and more)
  
• 10 new police ranks
  
• Over 20 entry regulations (including additional documents)
  
• A set of new daily missions that you can perform at a convenient time (e.g. patrol the area or intercepting contraband dropped from the plane!)
  
• Improved perception system
  

By order of the General Secretary himself, our friends at Console Labs started work on a Contraband Police console version (new and old generation). Their first task is to implement gamepad support (which will also be available in the PC version).

We wish you a successful service.
