You cannot just "turn on" Lumen, (well, you can - but it doesnt work exactly like you'd expect) though I'm sure some modders will be doing this if not already. It's definitely cool when enabled, and we're investigating how to allow for people to give Lumen a go while also having regular "baked lighting" for players who don't have supercomputers.

Noone who worked on these was fired just fyi. Rumors be rumors. Also these are from our ancient, abysmal PVP that we did way back. 

Wild collab ;)

Guns are free - maps and cosmetics are paid (minus the balaclavas which are also free). Lobby host only needs DLC for others to play as well.

I agree with both of you! B-Sides is a cool way of putting it actually haha

Because that is also true, a bomb threat in the gas station by gang members wasn't appropriate either -- but we're a malleable team and open to making adjustments for more fun.

I haven't really touched on this much before, but we decided to remove the mode selection because it was simply a whole lot of content to QA and bugfix through what was already a really massive update. Maybe some day it'll find its way back. A lot of the team were already pulling some pretty major hours just to ensure the new levels were playable and didn't have too many major issues.

From my recollection however not every new level had variations, though it "hit the spot" for initial early access because we only released with around six levels -- but adding even 2 versions of all 1.0 maps would be a heap of extra work that didn't fit the vision I wanted for the release. Was it the right call? Judging on feedback, it probably was not, but I don't want anyone to think the team removed them out of laziness or as a middle finger to the community.

Bottom line though, is that I'd love to see that as a return once we have less to focus on, especially with regards to desi...

This is certainly a cool idea, I'd love to bring back a few different things just for fun -- but we'd certainly not charge anyone for it. In my mind, the following levels would be a bit of fun to bring back:

• Wenderly Hills Hotel (full map, not just broken down)
  
• Fast Food (there's a mod that revives it which is pretty great)
  
• Meth Apartments (a level one of our former designers made on the side that's really nice to clear out)

We'll see how we go, but I wouldn't expect these any time soon. Even with the old levels, we'd want to bring them up to parity with what we have right now.

yea

They’re more of a continuation of the story and expansion of the world building itself :) the DLC won’t be required to be completed to get all the base game achievements and stuff. 

Yup. Martin is an absolute legend.

This was our original inspiration - but then all the art gets diminished!

A lot were rotated so that you'd be able to see the more critical details better but yeah, some are a bit off I agree ;)

Argh!

Hospital is a really rushed out job done by yours truly using photoshop's new tools - but with a base from another set of partners that made us entirely 3D level previews - I'd like to see the OG ones make a return but we found out too late they were actually super laggy to run and it'd take ages to open the map screen!

Also OP I can probably get you the source image but I'd have to check with a few folks first

Not true. Tattoos were created by some of our partners.

Greased Palms occurs on, October 25, 2025, and Elephant occurs on October 17, 2025. So a few days prior. The levels are organized in difficulty for a better player experience, but I agree it's awfully confusing and not many players would be aware of this from the get-go.

Unfortunately for the artist who made this, that texture is not AI generated (unless I missed the joke) :P

Police will be at your door any second for having our most precious code
