General Art Gallery mission is now available in the CO-OP mode. How to heist guide accessible from the Pause menu throughout the game. UPDATES General The two presets of the Bank Robbery have been split into two separate mission entries. RDR: Express RDR: Financial Center Tutorial mission was changed to a bank with lowered difficulty. It can now be completed together with other players. Updated the description of certain perks to clarify their effects. Missions added with new updates will now only be highlighted for players above level 15. Co-op Quickjoin removal – After careful observation, we decided that removal of Quickjoin feature would improve the multiplayer experience for our players. The Gold Cup missions now always start with two buzzsaws; it’s no longer randomized. Roguelite Changed the appearance of Baker’s +50% mission reward bonus when he’s selected in the lobby. Baker now carries a melee weapon in the Dream mission when fighting robots. Touchdown now carries a tactical knife instead of the basic knife on higher army tiers. Gameplay The player is now reminded of the option to holster their weapon in stealth. Slightly decreased overall combat difficulty of the Mic Drop mission. SWAT is able to rescue ziptied civilians and guards. BALANCE Co-op Minor tweaks of the monetary and XP rewards of several smaller missions. Increased XP for Warehouse Defense Slightly increased reward of Bank, Jewelry Store and Compound Armored Convoy now gives more XP than usual Armored Truck Heists Reduced cash reward for Assassination Roguelite Intel balancing Mission reward bonus for gathering intel has been slightly increased. All missions may require 1 fewer soldier during intel gathering (depending on randomization). Jewellery Store doesn’t require as many soldiers to fully gather intel. Compound is now eligible for gathering intel. Fixes: Players who join an ongoing mission with a timed bonus objective should now see the accurate remaining time. Changing the original weapon skin of Scorp Elite should no longer prevent it from being assigned again Roidiac Jupiter should not randomly lose her equipment in the Last Verse urban legend. Claiming neutral territory should no longer display the XP reward of the previously completed mission (the mission does not have an XP reward). The weapon crates present in certain missions (and Rockay Rumble upgrades) should no longer offer incompatible or obsolete weapons and weapon skins. The mission to lower the enemy army tier on their final turf should no longer be offered when their army tier cannot be lowered anymore. The stash defense random event should no longer trigger if there are no other hostile gangs. Defend Business Partner in the random event can now also award the “King of the Hill” achievement. Hostile gangs weren’t sometimes considered hostile if they didn’t attack players’ turf for a while. The police ambush random event should now properly apply the reward of negating heat for a day. The message about an eliminated soldier in the turf war is now displayed properly. A random event mentioned a killed character when, in fact, no character was killed. Perk descriptions should now generally display values only up to two decimal places (which wasn’t always the case). Corrected several formatting problems in Chinese and Russian localizations. Known issues: Voice chat for consoles is not available at this time.
