Two-in-one: Version 1.8 and 1.8.1 are here!

2 years ago

Hello everyone and we hope you are doing well! Version 1.8 and 1.8.1 are finally here!  #ThxDevs

We had the intention of releasing version 1.8 earlier, but due to the complexity of the features and the extensive balancing required, combined with the limited availability of our development team, unfortunately, it was not possible. Furthermore, as we move forward with the CnR:NG project we will be focusing on smaller, but more frequent updates. Stay tuned!

CnR:NG Version 1.8 and 1.8.1 - Changelog

New Features

New Weapon System

  • New /weaponinventory (/weapinv, /winv) - you may check and discard weapons and/or components.
  • The prices and damages for all weapons have been adjusted for better gameplay balance.
  • Ammunations will sell a limited set of weapons. Different Ammunations can sell different weapons and weapon components but there are a lot of weapons and components that are only obtainable from Gunrunners. Ammo refill options include: 100x, 250x, and 500x.
  • Weapons of the same type no longer share ammo. E.g. if you buy Pistol with 250 ammo and Ceramic Pistol with 100 ammo, you'll have the Pistol with 250 ammo in the Ceramic Pistol with 100 ammo, not 350 ammo for both pistols.

Reworked Gunrunner skill

The Gunrunner skill finally received its long and overdue rework. Special thanks to Vega for setting up a solid base for this modernization.

  • Removed the "Weapon Credits" system used by Gunrunners.
  • Added Arms Cache restocking mission for Gunrunners.
  • Gunrunners have access to exclusive weapons that are not sold in Ammunations through the new Arms Caches restock mission
  • Gunrunners can refill weapons and components in Ammunations but only the items that are available at a given store.
  • Removed 100+ properties

Arms Caches (Gunrunner Restock) 

  • Arms Caches (/caches) are weapon production sites that are temporarily available for Gunrunners (first come, first served!).
  • Gunrunners will need to restock their inventory on Arms Cache around the map (300+ locations!) before selling to other players.
  • Arms Caches will be available from time to time and will have randomized weapons and/or components available for production. They will rotate frequently.

Weapon Licenses

With the recent changes to gunrunning and weapons in general, we wanted to implement Weapon Licenses as means for Gunrunners to sell their weapons legally to law enforcement and also a way for civilians to keep their weapons when arrested.

  • Weapon Licenses are obtainable at City Hall. There is a daily tax for renewal.
  • If you have a Weapon License, you can keep your weapons and limited ammo when you are arrested and released from jail.
  • If you are Gunrunner and have a Weapon License, you may sell your items to law enforcement officers.
  • As a Gunrunner with a Weapon License, you can sell your items to civilians without increasing the wanted level for both you and the buyer.
  • When selling weapons with a valid Weapon License, a small % is taken as a legalization fee.
  • You lose your Weapon License on Death Row or if you fail to pay its renewal fees.

New Police Vehicles by DustyFlop

The Police fleet has been redesigned in partnership with DustyFlop. The new lore-friendly police vehicles have improved performance and are equipped with bullet-resistant windows.
