Update 38: Classic Heist rework, level editor improvements and bugfixes
This update includes numerous changes to the oldest map in the game - "Classic Heist", the layout changes aim to limit sightlines, provide more cover for robbers to enter employee-only areas, and to give the robber team more entry and exit opportunities. The lighting has also been revamped, to increase visibility in darker areas, and provide a warmer sunset setting.
A new "Buffer Shooting Input" setting has also been added, this will buffer the mouse input of players in case they try to shoot a semi-automatic weapon that isn't ready to fire again, in this case the game will automatically retry firing in the following frame. This should improve the feel of semi-automatic weapons, especially at lower frame rates.
The level editor also received multiple updates, with the "Light Config" object now working correctly, allowing map creators to change the time of day and fog levels on their map in any way they'd like to create more atmospheric and unique maps! A new "World Space / Local Space" gizmo toggle has also been implemented, allowing users to move and rotate objects along their own axis, instead of only in world space:

Update 37: New Artist robber class, balance changes, crash fixes and more!
This update adds a brand-new, free robber class: The Artist will try to sneak around the bank and capture exciting moments in his paintings. Depending on what scene he has in front of him when painting, the painting's title and monetary value changes, a painting of a burning plant won't be worth as much as one of a tasered player, for example. But be careful not to get caught by the cops while finishing your perfect painting!
This update also features multiple smaller balance changes, as well as performance optimizations and crash fixes. A fix for a very rare crash when starting the game has also been implemented, affected players should now be able to enjoy the game without any issues after adding the "-NoAnalytics" launch option on Steam. The level editor also received some updates, with numerous bug fixes accompanied by UI improvements and a new "Interaction Time" setting for custom stealable objects.
New:
added new robber class "Artist" (Modern Art: can paint 22 different scenes depending on what's in front of him, each giving different amounts of money; Lasting Legacy: his paintings increase in value after he dies; Auto Pistol + Bottle)

Marie Curie now starts with 2 placeable X-Ray scanners

minor UI improvements
Update 36: New cop class, new robber mask, balancing changes and improvements!
This update adds a brand-new free character to the cop team! Surge specializes in electric fields, allowing him to stun all nearby characters, and to reflect incoming bullets back to their source, as long as his battery has enough charge! He makes up for his lack of intel gathering with his great combat strength, especially against bullet-type weapons!
The robber team got a new "Cooking Pot" mask, which greatly reduces the impact of tasers and allows its users to quickly generate health points while inside a kitchen!
The main focus of this update is to negate some of the combat strength of the robber team, promoting even more stealthy and sneaky plays. Sticky grenades saw their area of effect damage slightly reduced, Heavys supply helicopter can now longer be glitched through walls, and players holding weapons now have a slightly slower sprint speed, making holding a weapon a more nuanced choice. The respawn protection duration has also been increased, allowing cops to clear the immediate proximity of their cop car more easily, while the mid-round regeneration at the cop car has also been increased.
There are also lots of performance improvements in this update, especially for CPU-bound players, from a large variety of main menu optimizations to multiple custom map improvements that should result in a 30% FPS increase for most users. Additionally, multiple smaller quality-of-life features have been added, like a new disconnect message explaining why the connection to a server has been closed, a new error message for invalid gadget placements, and a new button in the class selection screen allowing robbers to switch between mask and class selection.
New:
added new cop class "Surge" (Electric Field, Magentic Field Bullet Reflection, Bullpup Rifle, Taser)
added new "Cooking Pot" mask
scoreboard now shows server FPS

can no longer taser spawn-protected players

increased Dagger range slightly

fixed round ending if a cop is still waiting for his respawn, but hasn't pressed any key yet to actually respawn

Update 35: New mask selection, custom maps on dedicated servers and improvements
This update adds a new "Party Hat" mask that attracts nearby NPCs while wearing it, you can select this mask in the new, reworked mask selection menu that allows players to pick any mask they want without having to click through dozens of other masks! Each class now also has a recommended mask, which will probably be the best choice in most situations, as well as two suggested masks for alternative strategies to make choosing a mask easier for newer players!
There are also balance changes and improvements to lots of classes, most notably Techs PC hacks will now take a few seconds to complete after the initial interaction, allowing nearby cops to stop it. Doctors syringe gun should feel a lot more responsive now when playing on servers, its networking code has been completely reworked to improve predictability and reduce hit detection delays caused by high pings. Micro can now also carry all bags, including money bags containing up to 3,000$ to allow him to be useful in a larger variety of strategies.
A new area callout UI element has also been added, showing the player the name of the room they are currently in to streamline callouts. This system is currently only implemented on "New York" but can be added to any custom map by their map creators!
Dedicated servers now fully support custom maps, with server owners now being able to choose which custom maps should are available for map votes, so players can freely decide which of the servers maps they want to play on.
New:
added new "Toggle Radial Menu" setting (removes the need to hold the ability key for radial menus, instead only requiring one ability key press, it will then wait for either a number key input, or another ability key press to cancel, similar to previous iterations of the multi-choice menus)

Update 34: New main menu, map and class changes + Historic Characters DLC
This update adds a new main menu, a new ability selection menu, lots of map and class balance changes, and a brand-new "Historic Characters DLC"!
The Historic Characters DLC is an optional DLC for the game, that focuses on real-life historical characters for both the cop and robber teams and includes six new, unique classes with tons of new weapons and abilities! If you would like to support the game's free updates, please consider checking it out. Owners of this DLC can enable it in the "Host Game" settings, which will unlock the characters for all players joining their server!
The main menu got a face-lift, it should now work a lot better for lots of different aspect ratios, it also showcases the different classes in the game, and allows players to hover over their names to get more information about a specific class!
A new radial selection menu for certain abilities like Spy's disguise menu, Arms Dealer's purchase menu, and Gym Buddy's placement menu has been added, to make inputs a lot easier without having to use the number keys. If you prefer the old system, you can still select a number key while inside this menu!
To make learning the game easier for newer players, the 53 classes in the game have been split into three groups, that can be enabled and disabled separately for your match, so you don't have to learn all classes at once. The "Base Pack" includes classes that are a bit easier to learn, while still giving you all the essential characters to have fun! All the existing characters are obviously playable without any unlock requirements, they are just grouped into different packs depending on their difficulty level.
New lockers have been added to all maps, players can use them to hide inside, or place bags and gadgets inside! While inside a locker, players can peak through the ventilation to get a limited view of the outside of the locker.
There are lots of changes to existing classes as well, the most notable is for the FED Agent, whose holograms now disappear when characters get too close, no longer allowing her to block passages with her decoys. Canines Dog's combat strength has been reduced slightly with him now dealing 30% less damage, and Vigil's primary weapon has been down-graded from the Carbine to the SMG, to limit his combat strength, since his focus on intelligence gathering already made him a formidable opponent.
All other changes and bugfixes are listed in the full changelog below!

added new crash report to help resolve crash issues

Update 33: Canine, Janitor and Gym Buddy changes + bugfixes!
This smaller update focuses on bug fixes, improvements, and some class balancing changes.
The Janitor cop class has been buffed, his puddles now last twice as long, and cops no longer leave wet footprints when walking through them, making it much easier to track any robbers that might have moved through the puddle. He now also starts with two door locks instead of only one, allowing players to lock down double doors at the start of the round.
The Canines dog has also received some changes, he can now open doors himself (but won't close them behind him), making calling him much more intuitive since he can no longer get stuck behind closed doors. To make the dog a bit less powerful in combat situations, he had his HP reduced from 200 to 150, but keep in mind you can still overheal him with a Combat Medic, and Bodyguards and Sargeant cops can also equip him with a bulletproof vest to increase his health pool.
Gym Buddys treadmill now speeds up robbers that use them, and can also be used to transport money bags, so you can create your own conveyer system with them to automatically deliver the money to your vans!
New level editor objects have also made it into this update, with Explosive Barrel, Money Printer, Frequency Jammer, S.M.A.R.T Turret, Barbed Wire, Trampoline, and Treadmill objects now being available to all map creators.

This update focuses on bugfixes and quality of life changes while adjusting Canines dog and adding an additional ability to the Gym Buddy robber class!
The newest cop class has been adjusted, with the police dog no longer being able to sniff bodies and bags that have been left untouched for a while, preventing robbers from getting catched for something they did a few minutes ago. The dogs tracking power has also been reduced slightly, with him now only being able to track the scents of a robber for up to 20 seconds before giving up.
The Gym Buddy got some new utility in this update, he is now able to choose between placing trampolines, or placing the brand-new treadmills, which speed up characters coming from one direction, while significantly slowing down those approaching from the wrong side. allowing robbers to escape faster, or slowing down cops where needed.
Other classes have also received some changes, the Arms Dealer can now purchase a Heavy Pistol for 7,000$, and on the cop side, the Combat Medic can now overheal the VIP. Administering the antidote for when the VIP has been poisoned is now a lot faster for the cops as well, allowing them to more reliably protect her.

The new cop class is called "Canine", and is built around a new animal companion, the Police Dog! The dog can be told to follow his owner or guard a specific area, attacking any robbers wearing bags or holding weapons. Attacked robbers will bleed for a short period, allowing other cops to chase them down more easily. Additionally, the dog can be told to sniff dropped bags or dead bodies, and will then try to locate their owner, or killer respectively.
The Gym Buddy also got an update, players can now see where thrown bags will land, making it a lot easier to deliver money to vans, or bags to your teammates!
The grappling hook received some changes as well, a bug was fixed allowing users to jump multiple times in rapid succession, to gain lots of height very quickly. To compensate for this change, users can now double-jump after using the grappling hook, and climb ledges by holding the jump key, to make it much easier to scale buildings with it.
There are also six brand-new achievements in the game, with every single of them unlocking a new, exclusive golden weapon skin!
Map creators can now place teleporters on their maps, to allow for more creative gameplay solutions, and the default robber spawn can now be deleted, in case your map is not located in the default area.
