Hello all,
We're pleased to reveal that a brand new update is now live for Flashing Lights! If you haven't already joined the official Flashing Lights Discord, make sure to do so!
Pedestrian NPCs Arrive in Multiplayer
This update brings pedestrian NPCs to multiplayer, meaning that you can now frisk, stop and ask NPCs for ID while playing online.
More Police Callout Variety
In the previous update we introduced variety to the 'Officer Needs Assistance' callout by randomising its spawn location in the world. This update sees the system also applied to the 'Aggressive Driver' callout, meaning that it will spawn in various locations across the map. We are looking to expand this system to other missions too.
There's also plenty of bug fixes in this update, so read on for all the details!
