So is shooting cops with a shotgun and having them ragdoll over your head for a few seconds before going stiff in the sky. Also, bulldozers with shields. Also, bulldozers with miniguns. Also, bulldozers that are also medics. Also, bulldozers that hit critical mass on death and explode.

A lot of good things in base game now.

Small report from the console front. The hype loud job at the moment is undercover and xmas is back in style. X1 xmas jobs are typically speedrun and bounce on first available chopper. Played like a warmup job.

Seeing a decent amount of new guys playing and there's a steady rotation of max level dudes running around as well.

Wait what.

Are you actually painstakingly remaking each level according to Vox's fan fiction or is this some kind of trick.

We're starting with his prologue chapter detailing spawn group arrangements, cypher minigames for hacking the computers on Framing Frame day 3, and the painting neural network for determining the day 2 ambush chance.

Contact me at Iamgoofball on the discord to get in on testing, or ask Vox.

More seriously, we're implementing enemy health, accuracy and damage that doesn't suck, with tweaks to spawngroups, specific enemy behaviors, and some assault wave logic. Most of the fanfiction document was written as if overkill was going to do things like make new assets, and will not be happening.

We had our third live test this evening, the mode's getting universally positive response from testers. Current major issues are medic damage is too high, something's not registering spawn caps, some adjustments are needed to medic and sniper behavior, and a couple spawngroups are getting tweaked. Then the baseline loud gameplay will be solid enough for a public release. The consensus is already "this is really painful, but it's way more fun than One Down".

Music to my ears.

I'll post the draft spawngroups, I'd love to get some feedback on them. Please let me know what you think.

Percentages are the chance that a given group spawns-the calculation is way more complicated than the number, so don't stress those too much. The bolded groups are currently our priority for revision-they're causing too many wipes.

Normal Enemies ("Heavy" enemies are the ones with body armor):
Group 1: 10%. 4 Heavy Assault Rifles
Group 2 STD: 5%. 2 Heavy Shotguns, 2 Light Assault Rifles
Group 2 MED: 5%. 2 Heavy Shotguns, 1 Light Assault Rifle, 1 Medic
Group 3 STD: 5%. 2 Light Shotguns, 2 Light Assault Rifles
Group 3 MED: 5%. 2 Light Shotguns, 1 Light Assault Rifle, 1 Medic
Group 4 STD: 5%. 1 Heavy Shotgun, 2 Light Shotguns, 1 Light Assault Rifle
Group 4 MED: 5%. 1 Heavy Shotgun, 2 Light Shotguns, 1 Medic
Group 5 STD: 5%. 2 Heavy Assault Rifles, 2 Light Assault Rifles
Group 5 MED: 5%. 2 Heavy Assault Rifles, 1 Light Assault Rifle, 1 Medic

Special Groups, with fancy nicknames:

Delta Force/Gorgon: 5%. 3 Tasers, 1 Medic
Mobius One/Atlas: 5%. 1 Shield, 1 Medic, 1 LMG Dozer, 1 Medic
8-Ball/Chimera: 5%. 1 Taser, 1 Black Dozer, 1 Medic, 1 Black Dozer
Plan 9/Zeus: 5%. 2 Green Dozers, 1 Taser, 1 Grenadier
Eyeball/Artemis: 5%. 1 Assault sniper, 2 Shields, 1 Medic
Siege Unit/Epeius: 5%. 3 Shields, 1 LMG Dozer
Rangers/Damocles: 5%. 3 Cloakers
Support Team/Caduceus: 5%. 1 Green Dozer, 2 Shields, 1 Medicdozer
Drop Unit/Atropos: 5%. 2 Cloakers, 2 Tasers
Plumbers/Aegeas: 5%. 1 Grenadier, 1 Shield, 1 Grenadier

Control Phase Groups (between assault waves):

Recovery Unit (Seeks hostages): 20%. 3 FBI HRT, 1 Medic
ToO group (Seeks out players): 20%. 2 Veteran FBI agents, 2 Tasers
Backscratch/Styx (Seeks out players): 10%. 4 Cloakers
Recon (Hostages OR Players): 20%. 1 Veteran FBI agent, 3 Light Assault Rifles
Lone Wolf (seeks out Players): 10%. Veteran Cop.

When they're finished being coded, assault snipers will basically always miss their first shot.
Grenadiers are a new enemy that fires tear gas grenades.
Veteran Cops are a new enemy with a bullshit dodge mechanic that needs fixing-they look like bruce willis. They're not dangerous, they're just not fun to fight. Also they're taken from a leaked asset, so spoiler alert, expect to see them used for some better purpose in the Diamond Heist remake.
