6 new open-world missions are released in echo to the unprecedented G7 Cyber Attack simulation in real life (Read more on Reuters).
In this alternate reality, the vulnerability report prepared by the G7 during the attack simulation has fallen into the wrong hands, and NT4 has to race against time to plug the leak before attackers can wreak havoc on the US economy.
7 new bounties will also be added to the current world drop. These bounties will give you the chance to infiltrate the infamous SureFire military arms dealer and collect really cool Goliath-7 upgrades along the way.
Twitch Drop 2.0 >
Watching a NITE Team 4 stream on twitch will now give you a chance to earn a Goliath-7 upgrade item. Every 60 seconds, a loot table will be rolled for everyone watching the stream. If you win, a notification will be displayed in the streamer’s Stinger OS, and the item will be added to your inventory.
We have also added a nice reward for the host. If you are streaming NITE Team 4 on twitch with a minimum of 20 viewers, you will automatically gain an rare, epic or legendary upgrade after 15 minutes. Other rewards will also be earned after 30 minutes, 45 minutes and 60 minutes.
To be eligible, both streamer and spectators need to enable their twitch drop setting here: Twitch Drop Campaign.
Our Discord Server now features a stream's channel where you can get alerts of any ongoing stream within the community.
Watching a stream as a group can be fun and also rewarding. We are planning to add special events, missions, and bounties that will be unlocked by all participants in a stream and could be played as a group. Stay tuned!

Next week we will release our latest Stinger OS update, Goliath-7, and there's a lot to unpack!

Patch Notes 1.0.10
Hello Agents,
The new Open World mission, titled Disinformation Sharing is now available for all players! For this mission, the usual 3 parts will be released over the next 3 days. Members of the G7 are conducting a series of simulated cyber attacks against their own financial sectors in an effort to increase cyber-security and provide multi-national information sharing. NITE Team 4 is tasked to work in secret alongside the NSA and US Cyber Command to conduct the American tests.
Here are the patch notes:
New features
New Open World Mission G7 2019 Part One - Disinformation Sharing
Added a new variable in the Social Engineering Toolkit configuration in the CMS/Hivemind Creator, letting you set the success rate of your SET attack. A visual indicator was also added in the game to let you know if you reach that threshold.

Fixed a bug that caused some players to not be able to click on the FAY Action Required button.
Fixed a bug that allowed players to simultaneously drag a window will resizing another.

Patch Notes 1.0.9
Hello agents,
Before we start production on the next Open World mission, we wanted to take some quality time to revise the different aspects of StingerOS’s UI that we thought could use some improvements.
We’ve listened to you, the community, and implemented many of the suggestions that were heavily requested. We think these changes will make StingerOS more intuitive and enjoyable to use.
Here are the patch notes :
New features
It is now possible to resize Terminals and Image Viewer windows.
The UI is more responsive and the elements on the top corners will now collapse when a module or terminal is near them. This was done to alleviate the UI depending on the needs of the player.
Multi-Monitor Support (Beta) has been added to the game for up to 3 monitors. The feature requires that all monitors be on the same native resolution before starting the game in order to work properly.
Drastically reduced loading time at the start of the game, allowing faster access to the Mission Center.
Added an option allowing you to set the opacity for active and inactive windows.
The Open World and Bounty missions have now been moved to the Mission Center interface, alongside the Academy and Story Mode. All of the game’s primary content can now be accessed in one area.
Open World and Bounty missions will now unlock in tandem with Story Mode, after completing Basic Operations in the Academy. This is to allow a better game flow for new players.
Bugfix
Fixed a bug that caused the level up from 2 to 3 to not properly trigger at the end of CastleIvy.
Fixed a bug in the CMS that prevented players from accessing file browsers created in the legacy API.
Fixed a bug that prevented the Open World mission objective to properly refresh when resetting the mission.
Fixed a bug in Xkeyscore where a removed entity would still be considered in a search when it should have been removed entirely
Fixed a bug that caused the Active Directory and File browsers to refresh automatically whenever a command was made in another workspace.
Fixed an interface bug caused by having multiple Phone CID Backdoor modules opened on the same workspace.
Fixed an issue that caused Xkeyscore to continue scanning after clicking on the Reset button.
The input field for the Active Directory and FileBrowser is now much longer, to cover it’s perceived length.
Fixed a bug that prevented the resolution setting to save properly

Stinger OS 1.0
Agents,
After 3 years of work, NITE Team 4 version 1.0 is now live!
NITE Team 4’s community has now grown to 13,200 players, and we have a big goal for this unique hacking game!
It is a highly emotional moment for us, and we want to thank you for all the feedback and time you have spent with us improving the game.
We are a Montreal-based indie studio. Gaming is what we do for living. We created Alice & Smith not only so people could have fun, but also to bring a deeper layer to the games you spend time with.
With NITE Team 4, we wanted you to discover the world of cyber security and modern cyber warfare. Even the “silliest” mission we made is actually based on real events and declassified missions operations that happened around the world in the last 5 years.
Royal Gate, the final operation of season 1, is now live. This latest update marks the end of our Early Access phase. Now with more than 70 missions and operations broken down in the Academy, Campaign mode, Bounties, and Open World missions, NITE Team 4 should provide you with many hours of gameplay.
The journey is far from over. Kickstarter rewards, side quests, bounties, open world missions, player created factions, and more multiplayer features will follow in the upcoming weeks and months (View our 2019 Roadmap here).
We are also excited to announce our first business partnership: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) will use NITE Team 4 as a training platform for cyber threats in the aviation industry.
Although IATA staff and partners will have their own missions for their industry, improvements to the game will still be rolled out on Steam, enabling new modules, features, and game mechanics.
Many publishers shy away from original or fringe content, while the marketplace gives little to no exposure to new indie titles. Most marketing options on the table are designed to spam gamers with banners and video ads until they get sick.
It is not an easy landscape, but that’s the reality of the market, and we have to make the most out of it. The survival and existence of studios like us are entirely and exclusively possible because of players like you who give non-traditional games a chance.
It is important you realize how important you are. From everyone at Alice & Smith, a big thank you!
Now, let's start working on version 1.1. There are still tons of features and content to add to this great game!
Now that we have infiltrated Humans Solution Consulting, you will be able to level up within the ranks and uncover more intel on this secret organization and their illicit operations.
On top of the 5 new missions and 12 special bounties, you will also play with new exploits and rootkit!
Open World Campaign : January
An internet privacy watchdog group leaked a series of documents, known as the Manila Folder, including a memo from FeedPaths about potential manipulation in an upcoming election.
FeedPaths claims to be in charge of the African version of the Honey Badger Project and can use this project to greatly influence voters. We need to determine the nature of this threat and further investigate the ramifications of the ‘Honey Badger Project.’
Quality of Lifel
This update includes other Quality of Life improvements:
Each theater now has its own Casefile (instead of one per chapter)
Each certification now has its own Casefile
Case File has now been activated by Bounty and Open World
Default Unity call for Hardware Survey has been disabled.
A connection report has been added (Ctrl + L) to help debug black screen, firewall, proxy, and VPN issues
Various bug fixes and overall optimizations have been done
