I'm a little late posting this, but version 14 is now available. It's one of the biggest updates so far. Here's a rundown on what's changed:
Features
+ Added multiple attacks for each melee weapon type: unarmed, bladed, blunt

Vigilantes Version 13 Released!
Building on the emphasis of the last few updates on enhancing the tactical depth of combat in Vigilantes, 3 of these perks provide abilities which can be activated in battle to give you a tactical edge. Furthermore, a cone of fire has been added to shotguns, which brings both the potential to hit numerous enemies and the risk of friendly fire, making positioning of key importance.
