Gameplay - OVERKILL Weapons

While many weapons were changed, Overkill Weapons underwent significant changes to how they work. All Overkill Weapons are now moddable, providing options to adjust their behavior to your build and playstyle.

Our senior designer, Jimmy, wrote a blog detailing the changes here. 

A summary of what’s changed is as follows:

Marcom Mamba MGL

  • Shots do not damage players or civilians by default.

  • Increased damage and added an additional damage zone for a total of 3 on the Mamba OVERKILL. Inner Zone(75cm) 1200dmg, Middle Zone (2m radius) 900 dmg, Outer Zone(4m radius) 300 dmg.

M135 Arges

  • ARGES Increased base damage 26% and focuses spread twice as fast.

Sociopath

  • The Overkill meter on the Sociopath now starts draining 7 seconds after activation, and the drain rate has been reduced 25%.

  • Killing an enemy while this ability is active will restore 10% of your OVERKILL meter by default.

Gameplay - General

  • A range of changes to how hurt/stagger builds up on enemies. 

    • Added the ability to stagger dozers.

    • Hurt reaction buildups are correctly reset when the highest possible reaction has triggered.

    • GV50, Shotguns, Revolvers, and some rifles had minor tweaks to hurt buildup and their likelihood of not stun-locking enemies.

  • Added a new first-person animation for hiding bodies.

  • Added a new third-person animation for crew AI picking up bags.

  • Changed it so guards no longer react to opened large vault doors, making stealth more forgiving on Gold & Sharke and Delivery Charge.

  • Dropped keycards now have a more distinct outline.

  • Enabled multiple players to request Overkill weapons at the same time.

  • Added the ability to pick up and carry a destroyed camera drone in stealth.’

  • Changed the unlock requirements for the Kitted Out achievement/trophy to trigger when purchasing all mods for a weapon.

UI

  • Changed how the number of remaining radios is displayed in stealth from 0 to 1. 

  • The number of remaining radios will now display "until search" or "until alarm," depending on the current game state. 

  • Fixed an issue where the game-state banner showed "casing" instead of "infiltration" when starting masked up.

  • The updated Open Door Policy favor has been implemented in the game UI.

  • Added a text that is shown in the server browser if the user's game is modded, 

    • Added a server browser filter for modded lobbies, set to hide by default. 

  • Added numbers to the weapon stats infographics.

Audio

  • Fixed an issue where joining players could hear the hosts' Overkill weapon dialogue.

Heist Changes

Dirty Ice

  • Fixed a collision issue on flower pot boxes in the street.

Turbid Station

  • Fully reworked.

    • Is now playable in loud. The heist has been given clearer objectives, updated cover and traversal, and its soundtrack updated for loud.

  • Added a new first-person view animation for picking up Orbit Stabilizers.

  • The portable speaker sitting near the red keycards can now be destroyed by shooting it.

    • The speaker now goes silent when the heist state turns loud.

Syntax Error

  • Fixed the issue where the player could access a server area by vaulting and clipping through the environment.

Diamond District

  • Fixed the issue where guards would idle outside when locked out of the stores

⚠️ Known Issues
