Update 42: New Swarm cop class, Gym Buddy rework and much more!

This update adds a brand-new free cop class called "Swarm", who has access to seven different drones, each with different abilities and weapons, allowing him to set up complex defenses and cover multiple locations simultaneously. As a trade-off for his drones, he can't carry any ranged weapons, and instead is only equipped with a Wrench that can repair cop gadgets, and a Drone Remote, that allows him to command his drones to specific locations without having to fly them himself.


Here is an overview of his seven drones:

Doc (Green): can repair other downed drones

Grumpy (Red): has a bigger minigun turret (40 damage, 900 RPM)

Happy (Yellow): 30% faster than the other drones

Dopey (Purple): has no weapons, but can hide nearby money, making it nearly invisible and requiring robbers to first destroy Dopey before being able to steal it

Sleepy (White): has no weapons, can shut down, falling down and alerting Swarm if someone interrupts his sleep

Bashful (Pink): has no weapons, instead generates a small stun field around it after not moving for a few seconds

Sneezy (Blue): has a water hose instead of a gun, automatically sprays water that extinguishes nearby burning plants

The Gym Buddy robber class has also received a big update, with his Gym Bag being removed, he got a new Shirt Launcher weapon, that allows him to change the disguises of his robber teammates or NPCs from a distance. If he gets up to speed with the help of his treadmill, an equipped mask, or his teammates, he can run through cop gadgets and weak walls, taking 60 damage for each wall he destroys.
He also has access to two new gadgets, the Spa Steam Machine that covers an area in smoke, while healing nearby characters, and the Tennis Ball Cannon, which covers an area with suppressive tennis ball fire, that deals low amounts of damage but slows down hit players.

Additionally, lots of bug fixes and improvements are included in this update, as well as a new Fire Extinguisher object that can be found in the upper levels of New York, and on custom maps, that will release smoke for ten seconds after getting shot, allowing robbers to take cover or hide their escape. Cops will now be able to run through Officer barriers, Combat Medics get an additional Heartbeat Monitor if an NPC gets killed wearing one, and Crypto had his active EMP ability range reduced from 15 to 10 meters.
