Please note that everyone who got a free copy in the past of course still gets to keep it!

It's time for the winter break event!

From today, December 21st to January 6th 2023, you can unlock exclusive avatars ingame by playing!

During any opsec, certain players will be given the option to use "The Gift of Giving" skill, which will allow you to either bring a present, or coal, to a target operative. If you choose to bring presents, the target will obtain 2 events point. If you choose to bring coal, you may get 3 event points, or you may lose 3 event points. The RNG % will vary during this event. Experiment and have fun!

Events points will also be awarded upon win, and randomly during the OPSEC. Drop % of lucky drops will also change during the event!

Famed Operatives are available for purchase

Winners have been contacted privately, and anyone can now purchase the season 5 famed ops in the store as usual.

Untrusted/Trust No Bunny winter event!

There's also going to be a cross-community game day between the communities of Untrusted and Trust No Bunny, another cool social deduction game! We'll be teaching Untrusted to players from their community, and viceversa, they'll be teaching us TNB! The event will be live on December 28th at 11:00 am PST (20:00 CET) - we'll be dropping codes during the stream: Untrusted coins, Untrusted Famed Operatives Avatars and TNB Steam keys!

Do you want to play? Let me know in #streams-and-videos ! We will be giving priority to people willing to stream their point of view of the game. Streamers will be given some codes to drop as well!

New Features

+ New Class: "Double Crosser"
+ New Skill: "One of Us" - Doxx attempts will show "NETSEC" even if the class is in fact neutral.
+ New Skill: "NETSEC background" - Gain one skill between: "Denial of Service", "Wireshark", "Impersonate".
+ New Skill: "Obtain Evidence" - Used by the double crosser to increase their payout and to enable "Turn yourself in". This skill on the surface behaves like 'Midnight Meeting'. When used, it enables the "Turn Yourself In" skill to be used on that player.
+ New Skill: "Turn Yourself In" - Used by the double crosser to meet their win condition, by triggering an arrest attempt of the target and becoming arrested as well on the same turn.
+ New Consumable "Chicken" - increases chance to spawn as "Double Crosser"
+ New Consumables: "Rusty Box", "Ballot Box", "Cigar Box", "Wooden Box". These consumables have a random chance of spawning a mutator on game start among a specific list. There is currently no limit on how many mutators can be added to a lobby with this mutator - the spawn chance % and eventually a mutator limit will be adjusted with serve side patches, according to data and feedback collected during the season.
+ New Mutator "Serious Business" - use this when you want to create a lobby where memes, jokes and character breaking are not allowed. It has no effect on the gameplay, but makes breaking this behaviour reportable.
+ Winter Event! Live from December 21st to January 6th! Obtain event points to unlock exclusive avatars! Extra event points will be converted to experience at the end of the event.

Balance changes

+ "Operation Leader" hacking chance increased to very high
+ "Impartial sabotage" makes the Journalist lose the "No dirt on me" trait

Good news, everyone!

With this patch, the summer 4-weeks long event, Murderous Summer begins!

One or two random players per OPSEC will obtain, during a non-specified night a new skill, called Murderous Night. This skill can be selected normally and will be listed as usual in the skill panel (some classes may lose temporarily one of their skill to make room for this one).

When selected, this UI will show up:



You can then select a proper weapon and a target: if you correctly deduce the target operative class type (based on the weapon selected read the description of each weapon by clicking on it) that operative will die that night. Note that it is still possible to prevent you from doing your nightly action, and the target operative can use protection skills to thwart your murder attempt.

If you are successful, you will gain 4 event points. If you are not successful, your target will instead gain 4 event points.

Can you unlock the new 7 avatars and the new 5 badges before the event ends? good luck!

New Features

+ The " Murderous Summer 2022 Event" is live! The event will stay live for the next 4 weeks, ending on August 14th, 2022.
+ 5 new badges that can be obtained only during this event.
+ 7 new avatars that can be unlocked by obtaining event points during this event. You may obtain additional event points by purchasing the July Supporter Pack and by equipping the "Weird Pouch" consumble.

Balance Changes

+ ACTIVE DURING MURDEROUS SUMMER EVENT ONLY: During each OPSEC, some players may receive, for one night only, the "Murderous Night" skill. When activated, you can pick a target and a weapon. Each weapon is "linked" to the murder of a specific class type. Correctly deducing the class type of your target, will result in the target getting murdered and you obtaining Event Points. The target can still use protection skills as usual. Escaping a murder attempt from this skill (or if the class type has not been deduced correctly) will instead grant Event Points to the target. All extra event points will be converted into profile experience at the end of the event. This skill visits the target, but does not occupy them.

Hello operatives!

Season 4 starts today, with many changes, especially introducing the new Forensics Specialist class.

Without fruther ado, lets see the changelog and how this new class works:

Untrusted v1.140 Changelog

New Features

+ New class Forensics Specialist.
+ New skill Upload Fake Intel upload fake intel to a node. If downloaded, the information given will be false. The forensics specialist has no control on which fake intel is uploaded.
+ New skill CCTV Takeover if the forensics specialist targets the CCTV Specialist with this skill, AGENTS will obtain CCTV information as long as the Forensics Specialist is alive. The CCTV specialist must not be protected that night in order for this skill to succeed.
+ New skill Ambitious Agent the forensics specialist will automatically become the Field Agent when they are the last alive AGENT.
+ New passive skill Network Insights when hacking a node, gain a hacking % bonus for each player connecting to it during the same turn.
+ New mutator Handcuffs guarantees a Field Agent Spawn game
+ New mutator Smartphone guarantees a Forensics Specialist Spawn game
+ New mutator Triple Threat AGENT spawn with Agent Leader, Field Agent, and Forensics Specialist. Suggested for 16 players games only.
+ New consumable Salty Meat slightly increase your chances to spawn as NETSEC
+ Famed Operatives Series 2 avatars are no longer available for purchase

Balance Changes

+ CCTVs now start working the day after installation.
+ CCTVs are still updated after converting (true for both CCTV specialist becoming Improvised Hackers or moles, as well as Forensics Specialist becoming Field Agent).
+ CCTV specialist gains the wiretap skill
+ Slightly increased overall hacking chances
+ Network Specialist gains Network Insights
+ Field Agent is no longer a guaranteed spawn. Either the Field Agent or the Forensics Specialist will spawn. You can use mutators to override this behaviour.
+ X is mole intel spawn chance has been rollbacked to a more probable spawn chance.
+ Insider Knowledge will always return a real node intel.
+ Upload Fake Intel can overwrite real intel on a node
+ Upload Intel can overwrite fake intel on a node

How do I play the Forensics Specialist ?

Im glad you asked! Make sure to check the patch note above and make sure to check the Forensics Specialist Strategy guide! https://www.playuntrusted.com/manual/advanced-strategy/forensics-specialist-strategy-guide/

The main difference is that now agents will spawn with a guaranteed Agent Leader and either the Field agent or the Forensics Specialist. This changes significantly both how NETSEC has to approach unknown operatives, as well as how AGENT has to approach their strategy. A night 1 without arrests now have a complete different meaning. Was the Field Agent occupied, or is the Forensics Specialist up to something? Or again, what happens if the Agent Leader goes all in very early on, trading their moling capability for the FA+FS combo? Etcetera.

Combine this with the CCTV system rework (CCTVs wont lose their CCTV access if they become Improvised Hackers or moles) and you have a significantly changed gameplay for Season 4. See you in an OPSEC, operatives!

It's been 1 year since our Steam Early access release! Hurrah!

Here is to celebrate a sneak peek of what's coming in few weeks for Season 4: https://www.playuntrusted.com/patch-v1-133-season-4-sneak-peek-and-untrusted-release-birthday/

Be aware that mutators might be disabled at my discretion shall the community fracture significanlty, as this feature was planned for much later. Please be ESPECIALLY friendly and willing to teach to new players if you want this mode to survive with the current player count.

During this brief window, the game server won't be available.

See you ingame!

Balance Changes

+ "Setup" now allows you to pick your target and who they will be visiting. Keep in mind that if you choose for X to visit Y, X will be occupied, but not Y, while they will both get the same message and know each other identity. You may want to ask someone, for example the Agent Leader, to midnight meet Y for maximum effect and chaos.
+ Minor rebalancing of RNG based skill success rates.

Client Changes

+ Purchasing an identity will now require a confirmation
+ "Name" ping will no longer work with substrings (e.g. "murdered" will not trigger "Dr.Red" sfx ping)

+ 2 new badges
+ 1 new consumable "Dr.Ochre mysterious package"

Balance Changes

+ Experimental: "Corrupt Detective"'s "Agent Scum" won't trigger upon suicide. This will be reverted if it will be abused to not help agents discover the OL identity.
+ "Intelligence Informer" can now leave the "watched" feedback without actually visiting: the Agent Leader can choose wheter to have the informer spook or not the target. CCTVs can catch that "intelligence informer" was used, althought it will not reveal who the Agent Leader is (as the Agent Leader, effectively, does not visit the target)
+ "Blackmailed Informer" will now let the Rival Hacker know whenever agents have succesfully struck a deal with a player, possibly showing also the identity of the mole (RNG).
+ Coin rewards rebalance

Client Changes

+ It is now possible to paste directly in chat someone else's log.
+ Fixed other person's log not showing with dyslexia friendly font when selected in the options

+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Hello operatives!

The server will go under maintenance Sunday June 20th, roughly from 10:00 CEST to 12:00 CEST for standard maintenance and the deployment of a small patch.

During this brief window, the game server won't be available.

See you ingame!

New Features

+ New June supporter token and avatar! It's summer, have some pineapple!
+ Added single sign on login and multiple servers support! What does it means to you? Not much, until we experience a new CCU peak (if ever): I will be able to add multiple servers (or when/if in the future we want to have separate servers for separate regions). That's why today's patch seems small, a lot of work went into this feature :)
+ Kicked players won't be able to rejoin the lobby they were kicked from
+ Bug: whenever a neutral gets root, the sociopath can also get root with crack credentials, resulting in two players being able to use anonymous broadcast. This was not intended, however it is so rare and hilarious that I've decided to leave it as is for now, unless some form of abuse-meta develops arounds it.

Balance Changes

+ Rival hacker coins reward significantly increased
+ Enforcer coins reward increased depending on protection events
+ Investigative Mole gains "frame"

Client Changes

+ Experimental color coded events in day/night transitions for few key messages
+ Experimental SFX: being mentioned in the general chat (es. if your name is Dr.Green, just saying 'green' is enough, even on pasted logs ) will trigger a notification sound (cooled down every 10s to avoid abuse).
+ Fixed joining an invalid lobby (expired, full, or by inputting the wrong password) throwing a network error message rather than the appropriate message.
+ Fixed winstreak multiplier not showing correctly >= 15 wins
+ Fixed a bug that would not remove the "steam cart" icon from the tutorial after logging in via steam, logging out, and then starting the tutorial
+ Fixed "you may not see this operative log" message showing upon click over a dead/arreste player that had erased their log
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements and bugfixes

Servers Side Changes

+ Major Network Changes o>
+ Fixed a bug that would allow "Upload Intel", "Download Intel" and "Crack Credentials" to still work even if the nodes were beyond visibility, if a chokepoint node was rollbacked the same turn.
+ Improved chat filter and flood filter (still needs tweaking)
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements and bugfixes

Known Issues

+ Using follow on an enforcer which is protecting someone (which gets arrested) will get a " did not leave his hideout" message.
+ Opening the game log from the in-game link may leave untrusted as "running" on steam

Untrusted - v1.103 changelog

Balance Changes

+ "Hack Target" will now fail 100% of the time when the AL is trying to hack a non-visible by netsec node. This should have been the case before, however it would fail silently, and a bug (now fixed) allowed the hack to proceed if during the order turn resolve an actual hack would connect to the new node. This behaviour is no longer possible, and an explicit message is now displayed to the AL.
+ "Steal Intel" success chance increases everyt time it's attempted and failed.
+ Win streak multiplier for 16th win in a streak is now 4x, and 5x for 21st onwards

Client Changes

+ Fixed a bug in the tutorial (dotless 'i' issue) for Turkish-language based systems
+ Fixed a bug that would show 'Wrong Password' on the first steam login
+ Minor miscellaneous fixes (typos, etc)

Servers Side Changes

+ Improved network stability
+ Fixed a bug that would not refund a sociopath 'murder' charge if the sociopath if the target was no longer in play during the turn 'murder' was used.
+ Fixed a bug that caused double "spill the beans" on the same target to give an extra bounty. The "double dip" (arresting somone you spilled the beans on) tactic is still valid, although it may be removed in future patches.
+ Fixed a bug that caused Impartial Sabotage to go through successfully even after a successful ISP disconnection/jam
+ Fixed "Personal Matter" badge being awarded regardless of the "be alive" badge condition.
+ Minor miscellanoues fixes

Known Issues

+ Using follow on an enforcer which is protecting someone (which gets arrested) will get a " did not leave his hideout" message.

Hello Operatives!

Today marks the release of Untrusted v.1097, and unless disaster strikes, this will likely be the last patch before Untrusted transitions from Early Access to the official release. The game is now complete with the features I envisioned, but that doesn't mean development stops - there still needs to be improvement, bugfixes and polishing, but the game is certainly ready to be enjoyed. So, without further ado, lets have a look at what this patch offers, before moving on to dicussing future development.

New Class - Corrupt Detective
With this patch, we finally see a new class (it's been a while since the latest class, the Rival Hacker, was introduced) called Corrupt Detective.

This class is a neutral field operation (despite the name) class that will win (among other conditions) as long as AGENT faction loses. It's the neutral opposite class to the Rival Hacker, as the Corrupt Detective is essentially a NETSEC player. Players who spawn with this class will need to first use the 'Steal Intel' skill and then use 'Upload Intel' on any hacked node. If that was not enough, the corrupt detective must be in play at the end of the game (not dead and not arrested).

This class also have some interesting properties that will enhance and create an additional layer of paranoia in the game: doxx results will show this class as AGENT, however, if he gets lycnhed, the Operation Leader identity will be revelead. In addition to this, the Corrupt Detective can get bribes during the day, which have no impact in the gameplay but will increase their payout in case of a win.


This class has been in the development wishlist for a while, but was put on backburner due to rising priorities. It requires some testing and probably balance although it should be already fun and interesting having (or not having!) one in the game.


As an additional, small buff to Rival Hacker, whenever the Corrupt Detective uses 'Bribe', the Rival Hacker will gain important intel. Will you risk giving an opponent intel or will you just cash out and risk it?


Supporter Store!


You can now support the development and maintenance of Untrusted! You can check the Donate page for more information (as more ways to help are coming soon!), but in short, every month a new badge and an exclusive avatar will be made available for purchase for a small sum. The avatar will be some way of showing your support, and at the same time it's a great way to 'immortalize' moments of Untrusted, as they are all inspired by particular events that happened when the badge was released, either an ingame event or something unrelated, such as a seasonal gimmick.


You will also gain a very small amount of ingame credits that you can spend however you like. Untrusted is still a game that everyone can play for free and I'd rather keep it this way with no paywall and just cosmetics/bragging rights in-game purchases.


By showing your support you gain bragging rights and the knowledge that you are helping Untrusted grow, as the money will directly proceed in maintaining the product (all costs including assets, server maintenance, etc) as well as its further development.


You can now purchase retroactively (until the end of May) the February, March and April supporter tokens, which will give you an exclusive badge and, respectively, the Heart of The community avatar (commemorating the Early Access release), the Mega Bug avatar (commemorating the server 100% cpu bug on /kick) and the Aprils's Fish avatar (commemorating the April's Fools event)


Untrusted is still a hobby project - there is some runway but ultimately, how long the server will stay up and the game developed/updated will depend on how much interest there is from the community


There will be more information available soon on what are the next step in development, so you can also get a better feel if you think you should be spending your money on Untrusted or not.


You can still help untrusted without reaching your wallet: keep playing and spreading the word to help Untrusted grow!


Future Development

There is quite some new stuff on this patch, so expect bugs and issues - always remember you can reach out in the official Discord Server or via email at root@playuntrusted.com


What's in store for the future? Certainly more content such as badges and avatars, community events and of course, the usual balancing and bugfixing. Most importantly there are some network infrastructure changes that needs to be addressed in order to scale up better - the older system resisted to 90CCU back in early february (at the very peak) but started lagging early - the current system should at least hold that many (and possible more!) but in order to scale up even more, there are other network changes that need be addressed. As you can see, there's still plenty more to do, but that doesn't mean Untrusted isn't ready to be enjoyed!


Other Patch Stuff

Oh right, there's more! Below, the full changelog of this patch:



Untrusted - Early Access - v1.097 changelog

+ New skills "Steal Intel" "Upload Intel" "Get Bribe" and "AGENT Scum" (all Corrupt Detective Exclusive)

+ Major rebalance in how the class-changing consumables are processed. It is now guaranteed for one of the operatives who equipped such type of consumables to work. Pricing has been adjusted accordingly to this change.
+ Paper is no longer available for purchase... or is it?

Client Changes

+ The 'suicide' (disconnection) message now also reports the class of the disconnected player.
+ Added a kick button in the lobby. Keep in mind you still can vote 1 person at a time - this is just to make it easier to avoid typing the command manually.

+ Miscellaneous minor improvements and bugfixes

Servers Side Changes

+ Experimental network improvements - please let me know if you still experience delayed emails arriving alltogether

+ Fixed a bug where a CCTV would see a redirected player visit himself
+ Fixed a bug where intel could spawn on the target node
+ Fixed an issue where an enforcer escorting someone could be converted and arrested as mole on the same turn. The conversion now takes precedence, as usual.
+ Fixed an issue where dead people would incorrectly see updated roles of other players under certain circumstances(e.g. a dead FA seeing someone turned into a mole by the living AL)
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements and bugfixes

Hello operatives!

There is a small patch coming next weekend (v.1094) and since it won't be retrocompatible with the current client the server will go under maintenance Sunday April 4th, roughly from 12:00 CET to 14:00 CET.

This is mostly a patch that addresses bugfixes and other minor improvements, although it possibly may include some minor balance changes.

New Features
+ Added 14 new avatars, the 'AGENT' collection.
+ Retroactively added the 'Cryptohunter' badge to all of those who played the March 2021 community event

Balance Changes

+ "Alter Logs" can now either work randomly (as before) or can now target one specific operative
+ "Rival Hacker" loses "Alter Logs"
+ "Rival Hacker" loses "doxx and stalk"
+ "Rival Hacker" gains "Harden Node"
+ "Rival Hacker" gains "Jam Network"
+ "Rival Hacker" gains "move hideout"
+ "Rival Hacker" gains new passive skill "Blackmailed Informer"
+ "Rival Hacker" is now a unique spawn
+ Rebalanced 'Rollback' and 'Impartial Sabotage' minimum and maximum number of fake logs

Client Changes

+ New players (LVL <=4) will have a 'New Player' tage when mousehovering their nickname In-OPSEC.
+ Chat message warnings now highlight the initial "[!]" in yellow. You can also manually type [!] at the beginning of a sentence to have it highlighted.
+ Changed neutral color classes text in 'Encryped notes'
+ Changed icon for 'Topology Knowledge' skill
+ Fixed agent leader cover mistakenly showing in the summary screen when the game ended before D4
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Servers Side Changes

+ Fixed a bug that would mistakenly convert a mole into Runaway Snitch when conversion conditions were not met correctly
+ Fixed a bug that would still show enforcer's "sacrifice" messages after he was released from prison due to arrest+conversion on same turn game mechanic.
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements and fixes

Known Issues

+ 'Citizen Arrests' charge not refunded when losing the roll with FA when FA uses sting. A hotfix will be uploaded serverside asap in the upcoming days.

Hello operatives!

There is a small patch coming next weekend (v.1093) and since it won't be retrocompatible with the current client the server will go under maintenance Sunday March 21st roughly from 11:00 UTC to 12:00 UTC (possibly extending until 13UTC)

There will be some balance changes as well as some other under-the-hood minor improvements and maybe some new avatars.

Minor improvements, fixes and bugfixes :)

New Features

+ The "Cryptocurrency Heist" in-game event starts today at 18:00UTC! Play and gather clues to find out the code to unlock an exclusive avatar and 20.000 coins! Be aware - there are only 10 codes to be found (for a total of 200000 coins, so pick your investigation crew wisely! Check the store for confidential information later today...
+ Experimental penalties for disconnection: you will now lose 512xp and 512 credits each time you ABANDON a game as a living operative (no penalties for dead/arrested players). Yes, you can level down. I'm sorry for those that get a genuine internet problem, however this is an experimental solution to fight people who disconnect because they don't like their role. This way at least, they will either play, or ask to be lynched (which can then be reported and punished more severely)
+ Added 10 new badges!
+ Added an experimental "expected time wait for next game" when you join a lobby. It may be accurate or not, let me know if my estimations were good :)
+ It is now possible to change your nickname from the Identity Browser

Balance Changes

+ "Denial of Service" no longer leaves a log [Experimental balance change, may be rebalanced soon if it doesn't work well]
+ "Get Scoop" now has a 2 days cooldown [Experimental balance change, may be rebalanced soon if it doesn't work well]
+ Equipped consumables are now shown in the game summary screen

Client Changes

+ Fixed a bug that would not cause the client to reconnect to the chat under certain conditions
+ Improved /kick command visual feedback
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Servers Side Changes

+ Experimental improvements in the chat system that should make it more stable (or at least, kick you rather than showing you a blank chat) when timing out
+ Fixed a bug that would soft-lock a player in the "loading..." screen when using "Alter Logs" under certain conditions
+ Fixed a bug that would soft-lock all players in the "loading..." screen when using "Plant Keylogger" under certain conditions
+ Fixed a bug that would allow Doxx to show the real Agent Leader class if used on N3
+ Fixed a bug that would allow servers to spawn as level 1 topology layers (first column)
+ Miscellaneous improvements and fixes

Hello operatives! There is a small patch coming next weekend (v.1092) and since it won't be retrocompatible with the current client, I'll also take down the server briefly for regular maintenance. You can expect few new badges, the long-requested feature to change your nickname (save up 8k coins in case you're planning to do that) and some small under-the-hood improvements.

Client Changes

+ Fixed desynced client being able to vote on dead player (it would not affect gameplay in anyway, but it is indeed confusing)
+ Fixed ledger reporting the wrong amount of owned avatars
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Servers Side Changes

+ Fixed "Jam Network" not being detected correctly by "Review Connection Logs"
+ Miscellaneous improvements and fixes

Balance Changes / New Features

+ "Unskilled Attack" can now target both hacked and non-hacked nodes.
+ Mole (Field Ops) loses "Follow"
+ Mole (Field Ops) gains "Add Route" *** WARNING FOR NEW PLAYERS - this skill was disabled prior steam launch so you may be unfamiliar with it! ***
+ Mole (Investigative) gains "Follow"
+ Add Route cooldown increased to 2, will now connect almost everytime to the previous layer (when possible) or - less probable - in the same topology layer (layer = column).
+ Added 14 new avatars (Urban Legends set)
+ Added 1 new badge "Good Kid" (retroactively!)
+ Added Identity Ledger - Everyone starts with 8 slots ( Anonymous Identities + 7 free slots) to be filled with purchasable identities. Additional slots can be purchased from the Identity Browser. Everyone who already bought identities prior this patch has been granted free slots for all their purchased identities so far.
+ Adjusted avatar prices

Client Changes

+ "Please Wait..." bug should now be fixed :3
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Servers Side Changes

+ Fixed a bug that would count a fake action from fake logs as real when counting the remaining charges, under certain conditions
+ Miscellaneous improvements and fixes

Hello operatives!

There is a small patch coming this thursday (v1.091) and since it won't be retrocompatible with the current client the server will be briefly unavailable from 17UTC for at most 2 hours.

There will be some minor balance changes, client/server improvements (hopefully removing forever the 'please wait' issue some of you have been experiencing) and maybe some little new content (badges and/or avatars) depending on various factors.

The deployment and maintenance should take 1h or less but possibly extending to 2h.

Fixed previous wrong version - whoops! :)

Untrusted - Early Access - v1.090c changelog

Client Changes

+ Added ban reason / custom suspension warning messages on login. Please behave guys :(
+ Fixed Encrypted-notes UI going out of bounds on certain screen configurations
+ Fixed Dyslexia-friendly font not showing correctly on most systems (this feature will be improved in the future, I apologize if it was squeezed a bit in a rush)
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Servers Side Changes

+ Miscellaneous improvements and fixes

Client Changes

+ Fixed private lobby button not firing correctly
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Servers Side Changes

+ Fixed a bug that would return an invalid role when framed was used under certain conditions
+ Added chat filters to ingame mails.
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Untrusted - Early Access - v1.090 changelog

Balance changes / New features

+ "Planned Raid" now occupies the target.
+ "Script Kiddie" gains "create hideout"
+ It is now possible to select a minimum level when creating a public game. I *STRONGLY* encourage you to keep playing with new players, otherwise new players will never be able to find players to play with and ultimately it will create a closed, elitist community. If I see that nobody is playing with new players anymore, I'll consider disabling this feature. Please help new players if you can - the more we are, the better for everyone. Ideally you will use this option only when the server population is high enough that it warrants "walling" some players outside.
+ It is now possible to kick someone from a game lobby. Type "/kick playername" (without the quotes). Abusing the kick function will cause a ban and possibly a name change and xp reset with extreme prejudice. Please report toxic behaviour as usual and lets keep Untrusted a friendly place for everyone!

Client Changes

+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Servers Side Changes

+ Fixed a bug that would let dead/arrested Inside Mans still see the target on the topology network UI, potentially allowing cheating via discord/vc
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements
+ Moved to a new infrastructure - more hiccups and downtimes are to be expected as the architecture evolves, sorry!

Hello!

There is upcoming server maintenance, expect downtime from 17UTC to 19UTC :)

The server will be moved to a better infrastructure to allow for better growth.

You may also experience lag and hiccups after the move, as data is gathered to address the performance problems.

Balance changes / New features

+ "Bait Law Enforcement" is now, correctly, a day skill
+ "Shroom" can now give additional prefixes (Mx,Rev,Col,Sgt).

Client Changes

+ You'll be prompted to play at least one tutorial on a new account creation.
+ Fixed Agent tutorial wrong translations
+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Servers Side Changes

+ Miscellaneous minor improvements

Good news, everyone!

Untrusted is finally live!

There will be three scheduled game sessions during the weekend:

• Friday 29th January, 20:00 UTC
  
• Saturday 30th January, 16:00 UTC
  
• Sunday 31st January, 20:00 UTC
