NOOT NOOT! The Blueprint Update is finally here. It took some time, but we think that all the improvements have been worth it. With over 100 new quests, remade maps, a lot of new and changed mechanics, there will be 1-2 hours of gameplay per map if you just go for completion. While the name may indicate that it's all about the new Blueprints, it's actually a whole lot more. We've redesigned and remade a lot of things to be future-proof, so things will go much smoother for the future updates :) Well, what's new then?

Major Additions

• The New Blueprint System
• 100 new quests/puzzles spread across 11 of the game's levels,
• A new armor system for enemies featuring body and helmet armor
• A new Respawn system that allows players to die as much as they want, at the cost of 5% earnings lost per death (up to 50% lost earnings)
• A new Ammo Cache system that allows players to restock ammo during heists at ammo caches
• Stationary turrets
• Explodable walls
• Massive overhauls of all levels, with most levels getting double the playable area (to accommodate the insane amount of new content)
• Completely remade The Nile's heist section
• Completely redone lighting for all levels
• Groundwork laid for full-fledged lore (featuring faction dynamics, conspiracies, and fish)
• Significantly better controller support
