This update adds a brand-new map called "Skull Island", where the robber team has to infiltrate a luxurious residence located on a private tropical island! It features lots of new entry and escape points like hidden doorways, boats, cargo planes, and more! The robber team can also choose to cut the vulcano cooling, triggering a vulcano explosion which opens up a new entry into the underground vault!
The primary target of the robbers will be the extensive underground facilities, featuring new stealable items, a weapon rack, the main underground vault and lots of possible escape routes!
Multiple, previously weaker classes have also received upgrades and overhauls, starting from the Master Thief drone now being able to fly faster and press buttons, which can be useful to open otherwise locked doors!
The Gym Buddy can now throw bags, allowing him to get money to the getaway vans a lot faster, and without the risk of being detected by cops while carrying it around!
Bodyguard's energy shield now has a wall shape instead of forming a bubble, which should offer more placement options, especially considering it now lets bullets through from one side, allowing the Bodyguard to shoot robbers while still protecting himself and the VIP! He can now also push around VIPs to help them escape from dangerous situations, and guide them to safety.
Pilot's plane also got improved, it can now fly and maneuver around the map a lot faster, while having a lower stall speed, allowing the Pilot to slow down a lot more to investigate suspicious activity more easily!
The Janitor garbage pickup and lock placing mechanics have also received an update, making them a lot easier to understand by adding new UI elements showing his current progress, and increasing his pickup speed.
There are also lots of other improvements and bugfixes in this update, most notably changes to cop AI respawn behavior to prevent them from draining the cop teams' lives, map votes now only go through at the end of a round, to prevent players from skipping the current round with a vote if they have already died, and players should now be able to vote for custom maps on dedicated servers.
The level editor also received a big update, with lots of new gameplay objects ranging from bulletproof cameras to new helicopters, as well as around 2,000 new island-themed props. Map creators can now also choose between starting with the default city environment, or building on a "Tropical Island" preset, similar to the new "Skull Island" map!
