Black Market: The "Double XP" and "Half Crime Timers" perks bought with Hustle Coins can now be insured. The replacement anti-abuse measure is that your gangster has to be a certain age before buying these perks IF you've created multiple gangsters during the week before creating your current one. Most people playing normally will be unaffected by this updated restriction. Perks bought before this update are now insurable.

18th October 2024
Change
Shooting: When you make a successful backfire kill, your backfire is now limited to 10 x the amount of bullets shot at you. For example, if someone shoots 50,000 bullets at you and your backfire is 1,000,000 bullets, your loss will be limited to 500,000 bullets. This update was somewhat controversial in global chat last round, however it did receive strong support with 72% in favour when polled. We can try the change this round and if a strong majority find it doesn't work well, the change can always be reverted in future rounds. The purpose is not to end backfire wasting as a concept (which we know is generally popular), but to make it just a little bit more difficult and therefore slightly more fair. Last round, backfire loss would have been reduced in 33 cases due to this change, but equally the shooter in each case could stock a small amount more (relative to their target's backfire) to cause the same loss of backfire. Finally, some sceptics have suggested this change is designed to benefit players who buy credits. This is untrue, it's a change designed to make the game more enjoyable for everybody, but our counterargument would be that those who buy credits can restock bullets more easily and are less in need of this form of backfire protection, whereas "free to play" players will more strongly benefit from the added relief when being backfire wasted.

Change
Trade Limits: The bullet receive Trade Limit has been reduced from 150,000 to 100,000. We continue to see behaviour from all camps which is likely to be Real World Trading (but unproveable), therefore we'll continue making this more difficult until we're satisfied the behaviour has stopped or has a very minimal impact on the game.

Change
