HEAT — Patch 8

Hit level 35 and you can now throw it all away, on purpose, for a badge everyone can see and a faster climb every time.

Hit level 35 and you can now throw it all away, on purpose, for a badge everyone can see and a faster climb every time.

Prestige

  • At level 35, open Esc > PRESTIGE and start again from level 1, one prestige higher. There are ten.
  • You lose your level, your cash, bank and TerryCoin, everything you own, your training, the laundromat and your bounty.
  • You keep your achievements, your records, your job streak and numbered limited items - a Five Star deck stays yours.
  • Every prestige, up to P5: +10% experience, +10% cash off the street, and +$50 at the ATM every window.
  • A PRESTIGE badge on your nameplate and next to your level, and the whole server hears about it.
  • It asks twice, and the second button waits a few seconds. There's no undo.

Better multiplayer

  • Other players no longer float above the ground, and their weapons are in their hands instead of on the floor.
  • Police are drawn from much further away, so you can see the ones shooting at you.
  • More police and more people on the streets when more players are on the server.

Balance

  • Nothing unlocks past level 30 any more. The suit and the $1,000 roulette table are level 30, and Fitness, Toughness and Deep Pockets ranks come sooner.
  • The high-limit blackjack table opens at level 20 (was 25).
  • The ATM limit grows $10 a level (was $4): $140 at level 10, $340 at level 30.
  • Bribes at the payphone cost 5% more per level. They start cheap again after a prestige.

Skateboard

  • The board's top speed grows with your Fitness and your clothes, so it always beats running.
  • After the tutorial, the next goal now points you at the skateboard at level 10.

Clothes

  • Hats, glasses, headphones and jewellery from your Steam avatar no longer show through what you buy.
  • One item each on your head, face, eyes, neck and wrist. Putting on a new one takes the old one off.

Also

  • The Q menu can hide just your own nameplate.
