This patch introduces multiple new systems:
Billboards, Speed Camera's, a Kiosk, Emergency Credit and Peaceful Mode.
Each of these items is intended to be used extensively early to mid-game and provide extra gameplay options.
They each have unique cards, plus multiple options for each system to help or hinder the Operations Manager.
Peaceful mode has also been introduced, which prevents major events from occurring.
A player can choose to play in peaceful mode during the initial greeting message from HQ.
Players running through peaceful mode will still encounter mini-events for tollbooths and the world (occasional bombs and deer for example). But major events such as zombie hoards, ghost waves, bigfoot will not occur.
