This update adds two new classes to the game, the first one is a new cop class called "Pilot", who has a small reconnaissance plane which he can upgrade with parts he finds inside the bank. Those upgrades include a mounted gun, an improved propeller for faster top speed, and an improved hull which increases the plane's hitpoints.
The second new class "Hitman" is a robber that spawns in a stylish suit that unfortunately is not the right disguise for the outside of the bank, and differs slightly from the usual employee clothing. Equipped with a silenced pistol and a sticky bomb launcher his main focus is killing the VIP targets, he spawns one VIP just like the Bodyguard and his whole team has an increased payout of 15,000$ for killing one of them. His active ability allows him to ping a random VIP target, and should all targets be eliminated already, he pings the locations and class of random cop for his team.
The whole VIP mechanic has been changed, previously they forced the robber team to go for PvP strategies to kill them before being allowed to leave, now they only increase the amounts the robbers need by 10,000$ (which is exactly the amount of money the robbers gain for killing a VIP), allowing the robbers to pursue more stealthy strategies. Robbers can now also poison the VIP targets by interacting with them, allowing them to sneakily kill them if the cops don't administer antidotes fast enough.
To compensate for these changes, the Bodyguard now has a Rifle as his primary weapon instead of only a Carbine, and can now equip NPCs (including VIPs!) with bulletproof vests, preventing them from dying while the vest is intact and thereby preventing cops from getting fired if they accidentally hit one of those NPCs in a firefight.
Vests in general have been changed a bit, they now are visible on the character models, and block any damage until they are destroyed, but in turn, now only take 50 HP of damage until breaking. The Sargeants vest drop now also provides her team with a Carbine and Heavy Pistol, and can now be destroyed by shooting it to prevent robbers from stealing the supplies. The "Backup" cop also received some changes since he wasn't particularly fun to play, he now gains increased sprint speed after calling for help, allowing him to get out of ambushes or chase robbers more efficiently.
The robbers have also received two new masks, one called "Cupcake Mask" spawns a donut when picking up money, which can be consumed to regenerate some HP, and the other mask is called "Cowboy Hat" and allows robbers to steal the horse of the Sheriff cop in addition to regenerating some reserve ammo while inside the bank.
A profanity filter has also been added for chat messages and server names to block out disturbing messages, it's enabled by default but can be disabled in the settings menu. Players that go AFK now will also be kicked after 3 minutes of inactivity, and a potential fix for "ghost" players that didn't despawn correctly after disconnecting from dedicated servers and couldn't be kicked has been implemented for this update. Multiple other minor bugfixes and improvements have also been added, you can take a look at them in the full changelog below!
