awesome update, but i only got 75k for protecting a temp device by myself

Rank pay reductions still accounted for with this system, i.e. SAPD would make $95k, Corporal $85k, etc.

You know Olympus is dying when they now have a MOD, for the longest time this server was praised for having no mods...

We've had optional client mods for the past 2 years, the difference being that we're doing the work and making it exclusive to our server. It's not required to play and you're not technically missing out on anything by opting in or out.

@ Mako does this mean vigis can’t help 3 - 1 cops any more? 

They can, we fixed the bug that allowed you to 3:1 a Cop solo as a Vigilante.

We discovered the bug a month ago but the patch was only implemented this update. Whether it would work or wouldn't work was all based on certain factors that had to be met. Either way it's patched though. You got me once with that and that was one time too many 😂
