Hello everyone!
With this update we are introducing a new, medium sized map in a completely new style, representing a hideout of a so far unknown, rival hacker group. This map is completely different in layout to the previous office-style maps, but still offers the same gameplay style and feel. In addition, there are a few new features, changes and bug fixes that have been made in response to your feedback to make Midnight Heist an even better gaming experience. Among other things, we have greatly improved the stamina and the perks have also been buffed. Here are the patch notes:

- Changed perk "Rush" to: 1s -> 1.25s -> 1.5s and reduced the cooldown: 15s -> 7s This perk gives you the ability to sprint very fast for a certain period of time
