Our Save Game Policy and Updates
Since you'll always be seeing a lot of updates around here, we want to reiterate our saved game policy so everyone understands our commitment to your games. No saved game will ever be invalidated by an update. All new content and features will be added immediately to all saved games (with the reasonable exception of New Game options). You never have to restart if you don't want to. This is a studio commitment that we have made and kept for many years and games. We stand by it. So do not stress about the deluge of updates that is coming your way - heist on my good heisters.
New Underworld Hub Sniper
We are now working our way through adding the latest set of recruits to the game through the Underworld Hub. Before Update #62, there was at least one recruit available for each class. The new push will be steady release of new recruits until we have 2 recruits per class. The first is a new Sniper recruit who has come back into the field after an aborted attempt at retirement. I'll let you discover the rest and make choices on their Traits and backstory tags.
New Shadow Site Reward
Each shadow site has a special set of rewards that are linked to the faction and dropped as a group by the site. With this update, we've released a new Shadow Site reward set of high level armor, weapons, intrinsic weapon mods and a program through the second McKellen Shadow Site drop.
3 New Tattoos
We've added 3 new facial tattoo options for your characters in the appearance tab. I'm loving these!
Skyrise Rebalance
We're hearing and acting on feedback from players about the new Skyrise maps constantly. The first round of adjustments focused on map updates and fixes mostly but now we're digging into fine tuning the balance a bit more.
We have addressed the issue where Tally / Turn could start very high in the Skyrise maps
We have increased the bonus XP reward for Skyrise from +25% to +50% (on top of the bonus for being multi-stage) so you should see some pretty astronomical XP offers for these.
Also, we ensured that the correct number of Influence Chips drop in each mission, making it possible to get from +50% to +100% Influence for your Contact with a single successful (and fully looted) Skyrise Hit.
