MattScott 15242 Posted August 1, 2019 JULY 2019 UP & COMING NEW CONTACTS ARE COMING WITH THE ENGINE UPGRADE In his monthly blog, Matt shared progress on the Engine Upgrade and details for Lucas Van Rooyen & Lynette Casey. These two new henchmen will be Tier 3 Waterfront contacts adding 10 more ranks on PC, XB1, and PS4. Both act as fixers for their faction supplying new gear and weapons. Matt also spoiled their major new reward: The EMP Grenade This will be a brand-new unlockable alternative to other grenade options. When thrown, instead of a regular explosion, the grenade will trigger an Electromagnetic Pulse effect that will last for a certain duration. Anything electronic in the radius of that field will be affected until it dissipates. It was designed specifically to combat players getting into vehicles to avoid taking damage / regenerate health and postpone the fight. MORE DETAILS HIGHLIGHTS As you may have noticed over the last month or so, on the PC we have been slowly changing the 7-day rental guns to permanent purchases in the Joker Store. Effective today, all 88 Joker Ticket store guns are now permanent items. Additionally, we have removed all APB$ cost to these weapons, standardized cost across the entire line, and have introduced our first pass at naming conventions to help players understand what they are purchasing. Over the coming weeks we will be soliciting player feedback to help tune the weapon names further. MORE DETAILS ARMAS STEALS & DEALS THE NEW KABUKI WEAPON SKIN COLLECTION IS HERE FOR PC! Players can now collect all three Japanese themed weapon skins on ARMAS: Yakuza, Dragon, and Koi. The Yakuza and Dragon skins were already available as free RIOT rewards, and we have added the Koi skin for RIOT contact level 15.
