Hello, friends! We’re back with our July free content update, featuring the highly-requested 4 player party mode and a special Fourth of July in-game celebration. This Title Update will be available on all platforms on Tuesday, July 4th. Let’s get right into it:

4-PLAYER PARTY MODE - The free roam you know and love is back – now, from the Multiplayer App in your smartphone, two to four friends can enter into a private or public party mode. Free roam around San Francisco causing havoc, or jump into any of these activities on-demand, all of which have been balanced for the optimal amount of 2-4-person tomfoolery:

4-player Party: Bounty
4-player Party: Invasion
4-player Party: PvP Loot Truck
4-player Party: Races
4-player Party: Showd0wn
4-player Party: Robot Boss Fight
4-player Party: DedSec – Virus

For activities where there are roles or teams to assign, such as Showd0wn and Bounty Hunter, you’ll see a voting screen where each player can choose their role. In races, players will be able to vote on the course.

Co-op missions will not be available in 4-player party mode, as these missions have been designed specifically for 2-player co-op. Also, since the 4-player party mode is for you and your friends to wreak havoc across San Francisco, Leaderboards have been disabled - though you will still receive followers and cash rewards.

MULTIPLAYER MODE LAUNCH – All multiplayer modes can now be launched manually using the Multiplayer app in your smartphone. No more waiting for events to spawn!

FOURTH OF JULY - Celebrate Independence Day, hacker-style! From now to July 10th, find yourself a cozy spot with an unobstructed view of the Bay and enjoy nightly fireworks with your friends in the new 4-player party mode.

Or, grab a group of friends and get down with your patriotic self in a flurry of red, white and blue paintballs.

SHUFFLER OUTFIT – Players who completed the Shuffler objective but did not receive the outfit and stealth takedown will now receive it. The outfit can be found in your wardrobe; the stealth takedown is available while wearing the outfit.

OTHER - You can now skip the animation when using the 3D printer to change weapons or loadout – really useful in co-op.
