Nine to Five Leaves Early Access with Update 1.0
After nearly ten months in Early Access, we’re happy to present the update 1.0 of Nine to Five!
With this update, we are introducing a new map, game flows, achievements, higher tier hacking codes, new weapons, armor, skins, and much more!
We are excited to announce the return of the Huxwell Clinic map, and this time around, it is here to stay!
Clinic has been a long time coming, it is our first map released after the launch of Early Access, and it brings the map roster to three, joining Old New York and Varmstadt Labs.
So, what is Huxwell Clinic? It is a luxurious hospital hidden between the thriving evergreen forest, rocky mountains, and crystal lakes. This place is designed for intense relaxation and mindful restorations for the wealthiest people in the world.
The design of the new map blends some of the best features of Old New York and Varmstadt Labs. It contains complex indoor areas riddled with halls and enclosures for fast-paced and action-focused gameplay, as well as spacious and vertical outdoor areas for tactical and long-range combat.
We hope it was worth the wait — we can't wait to see you completing your shifts in Huxwell Clinic, and we look forward to all of your feedback!
Here comes a new corporation — Welcome Milodyne!
From humble beginnings in Switzerland to the fusion of hundreds of energy producers worldwide, Milodyne Energy Solutions has shepherded the planet to a new energy era.
Milodyne not only pioneers new wind and solar technology, but ways to make the power go further. Through a mix of green energy, clean coal, friendly fracking, and fission solutions, they power homes, businesses, streetlights, trains, factories, holiday lights, drones, concerts, smartphones, TVs, rockets, cars, and the Internet server farms that bring the joy of social media to your fingertips 24 hours a day. Milodyne believes fighting climate change means market capitalization.
Work with Milodyne and create a bright, high-tech, and full-of-hope future! With Milodyne Energy Solutions, you’ve got the power!
With the arrival of the Milodyne corporation, we introduced a new set of weapons!
Raptor – Assault Rifle
The Raptor Assault Rifle is the pinnacle of weapons technology. Thanks to patented recoil mitigation systems, it provides a seamless but devastating burst of bullets with minimal recoil. Lightweight yet sturdy, the Raptor is a very versatile weapon perfect for combat at any distance.
Helix – Sub Machine Gun
Pin point accuracy, extremely high fire rate, minimal recoil, and sufficient magazine size. What else is there to say?
Talon – Light Machine Gun
This LMG looks like a weapon from the future, but only because it is. With its distinctive design and devastating fire power, Talon eclipses other light machine guns in medium to long-range.
This LMG has a very strong recoil, but if you can control it, Talon will not run circles around the competition — it will punch a hole straight through it.
The Apex weapons will be obtainable through the upcoming task events.
Raptor AR
30 MAY – 9 JUN — Career Development 202
Helix SMG
27 JUN – 7 JUL — Career Development 204
Talon LMG
25 JUL – 4 AUG — Career Development 206
In this update, we also introduced achievements. You are now able to complete a series of trials that reward you with corporation-themed weapons and serious bragging rights!
Head over to your Steam Library to see the complete list of achievements and rewards.
We added the option to report players directly in the game.
After each stage of a match or after completing a match, stay on the results screen and click three dots next to the name of a player you would like to report, and it will bring up the option to send a report for cheating or toxicity.
Reporting in the game is the best way to report issues because it automatically grabs some of the information we need to investigate. So, feel free to use this whenever you face abusive or cheating players!
Responding to a popular request, we altered the reward system for daily tasks and made it easier to get what you want!
From now on, whenever you pick a new task, you can select which weapon you want to receive the rewards for.
We extended the level progression to level 15 and introduced new level rewards. Furthermore, once you reach the maximum level of 15, you can progress indefinitely with a fixed reward for each level up.
We added a new Hacking Code rarity. Upon reaching level 13, you can obtain the brand new “Mint” Hacking Codes. These Hacking Codes improve your weapon parameters even further and provide you with additional upgrade points, allowing you to bring out the full potential of your weapons.
We added new branded armor and weapons for each of the four corporations, so now you can truly represent your employer on the battlefield!
However, you must prove your support and allegiance to the corporation if you want to earn the swag! Most of the weapons and armor sets are given out as rewards during specific task events, but some weapons can only be obtained by completing achievements.
Here are all branded weapons:
Farmira Corporation
Mash Media
New World Finance
All corporation-branded weapons come with completed attachments sets and hacking codes pre-installed!
With this update we continue adding new task events and new rewards, and during the coming weeks, we will have special events running nearly non-stop! Play the game during the event, complete tasks and win unique rewards.
You can see the full schedule below, and more detailed information about each event will be shared when it starts!

Alongside the new map, we introduce two new game flows: “On the Air” and “Risk and Reward”.
Risk and Reward
"Risk and Reward" is your good old heist mission.
Here your first task is to find authorization codes and hack into an impenetrable vault, then you need to use the cobalt drill and breach the safe, while holding off enemy teams — easy enough!
And finally, if you manage to survive, all you need to do is call in a drone from one of the landing sites and extract the precious clandestine cargo. Piece of cake!
On the Air
"On the Air" flow is slightly trickier. A whistleblower has recorded some scandalous undercover video footage and your job is to find it and get it on the air! But how can you do that?
First, you need to get a password for the media server, so hack the drone! Then collect the videotapes, discreetly by hacking laptops, or slightly less discreetly by blasting your competitors! After that, you just need to find the transmitter, install the media server, and broadcast the footage for the entire world to see!
"On the Air” flow is available on all three maps, but “Risk and Reward” is only available on Old New York and Huxwell Clinic.
In this update we are rolling back the weapon balance changes introduced in the previous update. The armor balance changes from the update 0.4.3.0 are still in effect, read more here.
