Change

Remove minimum level requirement for each Vehicle Theft location.

Change

Level 50 is now 100k points (lowered slightly for a more round figure).

Change

Removed the slight randomness from kill scoring, meaning a scenario which involves the same variables (same level, same amount of bullets, same firearm, same health) on each side, will always yield the same exact result. Due to the nature of how our killing system works (figuring out the opponent's backfire, etc) it's not necessary to have the random element and it can only cause confusion or odd results (e.g. a situation where a shooter would die in backfire when overshooting by only a small amount).

Bug Fix

Change

Removed Silent vs Gangland kills, replaced with Silencer which costs $500,000. This works the same way as a silent kill previously but guarantees no witnesses (rather than an awkward low chance of a witness). This change has been made to simplify the system and slightly discourage silent kills, it's a revival of how Open Fire worked in a previous version.

Change

Silent kills no longer have witnesses.
