Update Release: Objective List, Kitchen & Workshop Tasks, Advanced Hacking, Craftable Shields & AI Rework!

Hello, inmates and operatives! We are thrilled to release our latest update! Today’s patch introduces exciting new gameplay tasks, expanded stealth mechanics, craftable defenses, a new Objective List to guide your escape, and a complete rework of guard AI that opens up powerful new co-op tactical plays. Here is everything new in this update:

New Feature: Objective List

Never feel lost again! We've added an Objective List system designed to seamlessly guide players through available activities and strategies:

• Guided Progression: Smoothly walks you through what actions you can perform throughout the facility.

• Escape Preparation: Helps you learn how to tackle challenges, gather necessary resources, and execute your escape plan step by step.

Expanded Job Tasks: Kitchen & Workshop

We are expanding work shift routines! We’ve added two brand-new tasks to both the Kitchen and the Workshop. With these additions, all 3 work rooms now feature 2 distinct tasks that players can perform during their work shifts:

• Kitchen Tasks: Chop ingredients and cook soup to complete your duties.

• Workshop Tasks: Monitor the boiler pressure to keep it balanced and repair damaged wiring when electrical failures occur.

Advanced Hacking & Recon Mechanics

We’ve expanded your hacking arsenal to give you total control over the facility's security infrastructure:

• Cameras & Exterior Lighting: You can now hack security cameras to disable them or manipulate exterior lighting to create dark zones for stealthy movement.

• Map Terminals & Ventilation Plans: Hack into facility computers to gain access to detailed floor maps, revealing the exact layout of ventilation shafts and hidden escape routes.

New Defensive Gear: Craftable Shields

When quiet stealth fails, you need fast protection. You can now use gathered materials to block incoming damage:

• Metal Sheet: A sturdy, heavy-duty shield capable of taking heavy fire.

• Dinner Tray: A quick, improvised shield crafted from mess hall trays for sudden close-quarters skirmishes.

Tactical Soap Traps: Riots & Escapes

Soap is no longer just for keeping clean—it is now a tool for chaos and strategy!

• Slip Traps: Place soap on the floor to make players or NPC guards slip and fall.

• Create Opportunities: Use slip traps to cause distractions, orchestrate riots, or delay pursuing guards during a high-stakes escape.

Guard AI Rework & Co-op Ambushes

We’ve overhauled guard behavior when they are isolated, creating high-risk, high-reward tactical opportunities:

• Backup Reinforcement Bar: When a guard finds themselves alone during an attack, a progress bar will begin filling up as they attempt to call for backup.

• Interrupt the Call: Players can work together to rush and disable the guard before the progress bar fills up, preventing alert escalation.

• Rare Loot Rewards: Successfully coordinating an ambush on isolated guards gives you a chance to loot rare and highly valuable items from them!
