Heist Changes & Optimizations:
- The Biker Heist - Fixed an issue that would display an incorrect string when another player picks up the blowtorch from the mechanic.
- Bulucs Mansion - Fixed an visual issue with a clue book disappearing from view.
- White House - Fixed a possible crash for clients after starting the hack in PEOC.
- Optimized portals on Breakfast in Tijuana heist.
- Optimized portals on Dragon heist.
Network:
- Updated network syncing of player position and camera rotation to be more efficient.
Gameplay:
- Reworked and optimized damage over time mechanics and how their effects are handled:
- All damage over time applications are now synced.
- If multiple players apply dot on an enemy, the last attacker is the one that deals damage and gets credited for the kill, but achievements that require a certain amount of enemies to be doted, can trigger for multiple people as long as they applied the dot.
- The grace period on dot application only applies once for a variant of dot, and never applies again unless it expires, meaning that continuing to attack will only benefit the player. Previously, fire encouraged applying dot and to not refresh it.
- Fire dot effects will no longer get removed for all affected enemies whenever any fire dot expires.
- Burning sounds from fire dot will now follow the enemy they're applied to instead of being static on the spot.
- The Moneythrower will now properly apply fire damage over time with the unique money effects.
- Both burning sounds and fire effects will get removed if the enemy is despawned, instead of continuing to play and float around, respectively.
- Enemies that die while doing animations, like climbing and similar, will no longer snap into place when dying to fire damage, and will instead ragdoll like with any other damage sources.
- Projectiles that detonate are now hidden properly for both clients and host when needed (after detonation).
- They also no longer use a timer that requires the projectile to update, saving some performance.
- Fixed some issues of some dots, from incendiary explosions, not applying properly.
- Tweaked the duration of some fire death effects and burning sounds to not end too abruptly.
- Cloakers hiding behind doors should no longer get stuck behind them when attempting to leave.
Weapons:
- Added a weapon firing input buffer to alleviate issues with single shot weapons not firing as expected, when trying to rapid-fire them.
Animations:
- Fixed an issue where getting tased, while using a weapon in "volley" fire mode, would cause some animation issues. It should now only affect the weapon, not the player arms.
- Added a potential fix for enemies popping in for a frame during spawn animations.
- Fixed it so animation freezing works properly. Some animations will now properly freeze at certain points when not in the highest level of animation detail to save performance. If any sort of animation needs to be played, animations are unfrozen again until it's possible to freeze again.
- Fixed root blending on NPCs always being disabled. This should make most animations overall look smoother.
- Recoil animations can now play while moving.
- Recoil animations no longer break crouching and standing, where it was causing units to not crouch or stand when wanting to, which could lead to desync.
- Reload and recoil animations now transition between standing and crouching properly.
- Bulldozer recoil animations should now be much smoother.
- Recoil animations on the Minigun Dozer are also more "punchy".
- Bulldozers and Shields can now flinch against damage (purely cosmetic).
- Fixed an issue causing Shields to play the wrong hurt animations when staggered by skills, resulting in them clipping with their own shield.
- Fixed some issues causing dodge animations to blend too aggressively and end too early, resulting in the unit not moving much.
- Fixed enemies playing panic animations sometimes not exiting them properly and remain crouching in place doing nothing.
- Fixed some issues with bullpup animations snapping.

Shotgun fixes and improvements
- Updated and optimized shotgun pellet raycast code to be in line with standard weapon raycast code (this also received a few optimizations).
- Fixed an issue where shotguns that have penetration capabilities and fire multiple pellets would result in unexpected visual behavior, where they only seem to fire one pellet (even though this wasn't the case).
- Shotgun pellets can now penetrate glass and some surfaces like other weapons do, and will go through obstacles that previously blocked them (like team AI, converted cops, corpses, popped helmets, etc). Except for HE Rounds, those will still detonate on the first thing they hit regardless.
- Shotgun pellets will now check for priority over different bodies when multiple land on the same target on different bodies, causing the impact on the one with highest priority, instead of the first one that got hit. This also works in reverse where, if hitting something like an invulnerable body on a turret, or body armor on a heavy swat unit, when no important bodies were hit, non-important bodies will be prioritized.
- Shields are now only damaged once when hit by multiple pellets, similarly to characters, but full damage is dealt instead of being divided by the amount of pellets.
- The Close By Ace skill now properly increases the rate of fire of any shotgun as long as it's firing in single shot and from the hip, as the skill description states.
- Shotgun pellets won't cause noise at the end of their raycast when nothing is hit, to be in line with other weapons.

Update #235[]
General
- Fixed clients executing multiple elements for damage zones or fall damage disabling, causing them sometimes to take damage permanently (or not block fall damage) after entering them sometimes or when they get disabled while the player is inside. Made so the code makes them run locally and to not depend on latency has been further reworked and now it accounts for zones that might not work on clients, letting them run by the server first as usual.
- Changed how ammo pickup multipliers from weapon mods apply in the pickup calculation. They now affect the base pickup. This makes them work more as you'd expect and prevent issues when pickup bonuses are involved.
- Fixed an oversight from last update causing weapons with no ammo pickup to still grab ammo pickups, despite granting nothing.
- Added missing levels to the One More Down, No More To Go Achievement.
- Fixed an issue of where Tag Team Perk deck was using wrong values in its description
Heist Fixes
- Hostile Takeover - Fixed an issue that could hinder player movement in the area outside the Document Storage room.

- Bank Heists (All 4 variations): Changed bag exp values from 0 to 500 per bag
- Firestarter day 3: Changed bag exp values from 0 to 500 per bag

UI
- Updated the Payday Kart 64 Achievement Icon to accurately reflect the time needed.
Weapons
- Fixed an issue on the Kang Arms X1 Sniper Rifle that caused the character to grab the weapon as if there was a grip attached, after using the Inspire skill.
- Fixed an issue of where the magnifier second sight remained zoomed in after throwing a grenade or using melee
- Speedpull magazines now also apply the following penalties:
- -1 concealment
- -8 stability
- -4 accuracy
- The total ammo and ammo pickup on the RUS-12 Angry Tiger revolver and the Breaker 12G shotgun have been adjusted:
- RUS-12
- Total ammo: from 15 to 40
- Ammo pickup: from 0.25-0.75 to 0.2-0.6
- It should now feel more similar to how the 5/7 feels to a Deagle, but with other revolvers.
- Breaker 12G
- Total ammo: from 21 to 28
- Ammo pickup: 0.21-0.735 to 0.28-0.98
- RUS-12
- Adjusted ammo pickup multipliers from weapon mods accordingly. Added pickup multipliers to grenade launcher ammo types, in the same way. Details for what the pickups would result into without any bonuses (min-max):
- DMR kits
- CAR-4 Rifle: 1.125-2.475
- AK Rifle: 1.125-2.475
- AMR-16 Rifle: 1.08-2.43
- AK.762 Rifle: 1.08-2.43
- KS12 Urban: 1.08-2.43
- Gewehr 3 Rifle: 1.19988-2.69973
- Assault kits and similar (more ammo, less damage):
- Gewehr 3, Assault Kit: 4.49955-8.09919
- Akron HC, Aureate Exclusive Set: 5.6-11.4
- Other
- Broomstick, Precision Barrel: 0.495-1.7325
- DMR kits
- Grenade launcher ammo pickups have been adjusted. Thanks to the recent ammo pickup changes, values lower than 0.5 can result in ammo due to stacking, allowing more flexibility with design. As such, we're making these weapons that have extreme ease of use and no skill investment, require a bit more decision making on the player for when to use them, as they can be spammed too much due to their current pickups. Most of them will require around 4-5 pickups (accounting for the Walk-In Closet perk deck bonus), but underbarrels require double the amount. Here are the changes in detail to the base pickups:
- Basilisk 3V: 0.25-0.3
- Piglet: 0.25-0.3
- GL40: 0.15-0.2
- China Puff: 0.15-0.2
- Arbiter: 0.15-0.2
- Compact 40mm: 0.15-0.2
- Little Friend Underbarrel: 0.075-0.1
- KETCHNOV Byk-1 Underbarrel: 0.075-0.1
- Lastly, based on the ammo pickup changes for grenade launchers overall, their ammo types receive multipliers for their base pickups mentioned above. Mentioning each specific change would make this list significantly longer so only the multipliers are mentioned. Default is 1x for reference:
- Sting: 1.2x
- X1-a Tactical ZAPper: 0.8x
- Incendiary: 0.6x
- Viper: 0.4x"
Marshal tweaks
- Fixed an issue with the U.S Marshal Shield where the range of the concussion stun AOE, from hitting a light as it's charging up, was using the range of the flash instead. Buffed the stun range to compensate, now matching a player concussion grenade.
- Fixed an issue that would allow clients to kill the U.S Marshal Shield unit instantly, after breaking their shield, and an issue that would also cause no outline to appear, for the client, to indicate invulnerability.
- The U.S Marshal Sharpshooter will now be called out when killed, like a Sniper. They do not count as such units though
Audio
- Fixed an issue that prevented unique voicelines being played by Team AI. Team AI can now play unique voicelines upon killing enemies, like players. i.e. Bodhi as an AI temamate killing a Taser with a headshot with the Platypus 70 equipped will let him play his unique line.
- Added support for specific death callouts on units.
Unlisted Changes:
- Rate of fire of the R93 was increased to 60 (from 50)

Update #234[]
February 1, 2023
We're releasing with a possible crash on Hotline Miami Heist - Day 1 following the destruction of the gas station. There's already a fix being worked on and we hope to get it out as soon as possible.
General
- Reworked damage zones (like fire and tear gas from some levels) to not depend on latency for client players, as well as to further reduce cases of the effects persisting forever until going into custody.
- Similar to the above, clients should now be able to safely jump onto the blankets in Lab Rats from great heights and consistently not die from fall damage, like the host does.
- Fixed Graze not passing weapon data when dealing damage. This allows it to count for sniper kills (such as for challenges, sidejobs or achievements). Multikills requirements still require the main bullet to count as such, as usual.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Rodion 3B Rifle's volley fire mode to count towards the Field Test achievement.
- Fixed some issues with the concussion accuracy penalty multiplier. It should work more consistently and as expected. It will also sync to drop-ins.

- Temporary invulnerability will now also sync to drop-ins.
