Loot Overhaul + No More Empty Things

With Update #37, we've sunk significant time into improving the loot allocation, rules and results in both the physical world and in the matrix. First, we cleaned up a ton of mistakes and bugs that could lead to empty matrix data nodes and sometimes even empty lootboxes. Many were related to Team Power Level, so as your team progressed, the game would actually start to try up loot and matrix files. Not fun - now it is fun! Let the loot rain down.

Also, the loot that is generated is now more directly in line with the Power Levels of the missions you are running, so you'll see more exciting files, items and more the farther you play into the game. This helps overall make missions like the raid proc-gen missions more reliably profitable and if not always highly profitable at least discovering higher level Items that your team may prize for use instead of sale.

The good thing is - lots more expensive things to buy are coming soon :D

New Cred Chip Loot!

With the new loot overhaul, one of the major additions is a very nice, very smooth Cred Chip. That is hard cash straight into your vault at the end of the mission without any questions. The Cred Chips can range from $1K to $50K at this time and have a big impact on missions, especially helping to make raid missions more likely to turn a solid profit.

More types of new loot are also in the works that will further shake up what options you may find in physical lootboxes, so stay tuned.

Weapon Pricing

After the update of all of the Power Level 2 and 3 weapons from in Update #36, we've returned to this zone to slash some prices. About 20% has been taken off the top for Power Level 2 and 3 weapons, making them faster and more fun to upgrade once you are taking on some missions. All part of a healthy round of economic balancing tied into the loot to make the game smoother, line your pockets with U-Dahs and help you keep the underworld economy running hot.

Combat Drug Seller Swap Up

As we are working our way through the underworld contact and services matrix – weapons, medical, balance, pricing, the works – we've adjusted the two points of sale for combat drugs you can get out of the gate in the NBZ. They were previously swapped - the Vudu Doc was a better source of Combat Drugs than the Doper, which we've now flipped to even things out per their places within the underbelly of the city.

We've also fixed a mistake where the Legendary Medi-Cloud item was on sale for your basic Street Doc for a hot minute.

Straight Combat Missions

For those missions - like DEAD DROP - that are 100% combat, we've fixed the fact that they were generating Heat from an invisible Sec Tally kept in the background. Now these missions will generate a flat Heat score of +8.

Bio-Chipped Journal Entry

We've added a new entry to the journal next to Nano-Fabbing about Bio-Chipped weapons and the restrictions the UNA places on them and why jailbreaking them is such a big deal for a gun runner. We'll keep piling in more lore as we can with each release until those sections are overflowing with the world's lore.

F10 Catch Up

We have a lot of F10s to catch up on from the end of the year holiday season. We will be working through these as fast as we can and appreciate everyone taking the time to submit them.

We've fixed the broken sorting for High Edge in Roster - it was nonsense.

Thanks to everyone reporting the odd case where you could fall through the bridge in the Truck Stop proc-gen mission. A few AI even were spotted trolling around down there. This is now resolved! Also, in the Truck Stop, we've fixed a few exit trigger areas that had strange gaps against the wall or wouldn't activate if you were behind a shelving unit, etc.

Some of the toughest characters didn't always start the Rooftop level at 100% HP and now they do! Also, if you received cyberware during a break between missions, you're sure to always start the next mission with the right HP.
