May 18 Season 2 - The Five Families
Season 2: The Five Families
Today a new Battle Pass begins @ 00:00 and it is a sample pack of changes to come and a mix up of old and new rewards. I'm excited to share exactly what we have cooked up for the community!
- Mixed up rewards: we tried to lower the amount of back to back duplicate rewards so the battle pass feels fresher and more exciting.
- Increased base cash and exp amounts so the battle pass feels worthwhile at all levels, stay tuned for scaling reward systems in the future but for now a flat increase has been applied, enjoy!
- Consummables have increased in number and variety.
- Two new consumables enter the city today, Pre-Workout and Personal Trainer. We have made these items available for your enjoyment and testing through the battle pass and hope you will share your thoughts on any bugs or improvements that we can make to them before a future release.
- Platinum has been scaled down the pass to be more available in later tiers, roughly the same amounts just graduating more towards the end of the pass.
- New cosmetic frame to reflect your standing in the city. We do plan to deploy more cosmetic options in the future, stay tuned!
- A return of a trend from Season 0 where we gave useful Rare items used in crimes in the Battle Pass occasionally, marked with the return of the Silent Sniper.
- A new Exclusive Legendary, The Don's Notarized Belt!
- A new Exclusive Rare, The Don's Pinky Ring!
- Blue Items found in the Battle Pass will now have passive effects that make them worth having beyond a cool cosmetic skin. Our Five's Fedora now offers an unusual bonus for a piece of gear that should remain active, equipped or not.
- A new, lovely Legendary Car, The Don's Eldorado, with a new exclusive buff following the tradition of a powerful finale item.
- A whole new system of Battle Pass Buffs, a buff that you unlock with your Battle Pass, that lasts as long as the pass does. It of course gets better with premium starting with a 5% gym speed increase for free users and doubling up to 10% for premium users. We heard you loud and clear on Battle Pass based buffs and will be developing many more in the future, though we are unsure about having one every pass.
We are hoping everyone enjoys the contents of the new Battle Pass, do keep in mind that the new consumables are in their testing phase, and that cash and exp rewards will be reworked more significantly, hopefully before the release of Season 3.
For now, please share any feedback you have on the way Battle Passes are headed with us, we are always glad to hear the insight of the community, much of which informed the changes to this battle pass.
Serious for once, Content Head Chary
