Patch Update 2.5.4
11/09/2023
Good evening! Pretty small patch but a lot of improvements and fixes. We had a fairly big focus on improving the new player experience as well as some of the issues brought up in the community meeting. We'll be working on the major next after this patch so look forward to that!
Drug Dealer Sales
Drug dealers will now have fire sales every hour, during these "sales" certain drugs will sell for more. Hopefully this incentivises making more of a drug during the sale as well as making less used drugs.
New Player Experience
Unsurprisingly Monolith is quite tough on new players in its current state, we are working to improve that with this update and future ones. We've worked on making the quest system more linear so that players aren't lost and have a clearer goal, we've also improved some of the UI to be more focused and less confusing. A new phone app was added for new players to find job locations, additionally the map app now has a search bar so you can find locations easier, garages also now appear on the map. Weed is now available from level 0, so now new players can take part in illegal activities straight away.
