What's new overview:
Bomb defusals, three new missions, per-mission challenges, much improved mission generator, new weapon stats display, previous plans are saved, exploding barrels and many other improvements.
---
There's a new mission type in town: Bomb Defusal.
Make sure you fail this objective at least once, we don't want to let the work we put into environment destruction go to waste :(
Additionally, each mission now has three optional challenges, a mix of these: Clock Race, Clean Run, Undetected, Lone Wolf, No Pause and - the often forgotten, but not by us - Single Plan.
---
We completely revamped how weapon stats are displayed! This should now give you more info about the nuances of how weapons work and how they compare to each other in Door Kickers 2.
It's not something you usually see in games, so you'll either love us or hate us for this:
--
The mission generator has again received a very consistent update, in terms of quality and quantity.
There's still work left to be done, especially on large open spaces, but you'll find that at least the apartment maps will offer infinite variation:
As usual, expect weapons tuning and details to completely change a couple of times until we fully release the game.
---
Your plans are now saved!
Where before they would get deleted once you closed the game, they're now kept persistently on your hard drive, allowing you to iterate over large plans in multiple sessions.
Beware though, future updates might/will delete them (the 'beauty' of Early Access).

What's next:
While we like to keep things surprising, a couple of things we can say are on the priority list are replays and Steam Workshop support. Replays because they're pretty cool and you already know they're coming, and workshop (for maps only) because the map making community is already putting out tons of awesome maps which you should definitely play!
