27th June 2026
Notice
🙋 We asked "Should the Trade Limit for receiving bullets be reduced from 100,000 daily to 50,000 daily?" - with only 42% of qualifying votes in favour of the reduction, no change will be made. We have no plans to review this again in the forseeable future, as overall sentiment toward Trade Limits remains negative and hasn't improved since the last reduction in 2024. However we'll continue considering other ways to give legitimate players a stronger edge.
26th June 2026
Notice
🙋 We asked "What should happen to the Backfire Cap?" - the community was divided on the proposed changes, with 39% of qualifying votes in favour of removing the cap and 36% in favour of lowering it. With no strong majority for change and the remaining votes in favour of keeping things as they are, the current 10x cap will remain in place (in line with the 61% of qualifying votes that supported retaining some level of cap). We don't plan to review this again in the near future, as the outcome remains just as divided as the early 2025 post-implementation poll. However, future proposals such as more advanced backfire configuration options may offer more common ground for people on both sides of the debate, as we saw with the previously proposed backfire options.
25th June 2026
Notice
🙋 We asked "Should backfire amounts be configurable per shooter?" - there was a majority in favour of this proposal, with 58% of qualifying votes answering yes. However, because it doesn't meet our 60% threshold, we'll shelve this for the moment and poll again in future to see if sentiment has changed one way or another once the per-level configuration has been implemented and played.
25th June 2026
Notice
🙋 We asked "Should backfire amounts be configurable per level?" - there was a fair majority in favour of this proposal with 61% of qualifying votes answering yes. We'll be looking into developing this backfire option for the game.
25th June 2026
Notice
🙋 We asked "Should the Bullets Lotto ticket limit be lowered from 20,000 to 10,000 tickets per person?" - the community was divided on this, but with 55% of qualifying votes being against the proposal, no change will be made. We have no plans to review this for the forseeable future.
25th June 2026
Notice
💡 For those unfamiliar with the polling process, we generally look for at least 60% of qualifying votes to support a proposed change before considering to proceed with that change (and 70% or more being ideal, albeit often unrealistic given that polls are often created for proposals expected to be controversial). Below 60%, proceeding with the change only serves to upset roughly as many players as it pleases, so there's little overall gain in player satisfaction, nor would it be a good use of development time. "Qualifying votes" are votes from accounts registered more than 30 days ago, excluding votes for the "I don't know / I don't care." option.
20th June 2026
Notice
In the coming days, a series of polls will be published in response to recurring feedback. These topics are controversial, which is why we want to give everyone a fair opportunity to have their say. We understand some people may have strong views on these matters but abuse through Help Requests won't be tolerated. We're only trying to understand how the community as a whole feels on these issues, e.g. whether the feedback received reflects the general consensus, or just a vocal minority. So, make your vote and have your say, but please be respectful 😀

Improvement

2nd May 2026
Bug Fix
Heists: Fixed an issue causing the Heist Reset perk to completely reset your limit for the selected heist for the day, rather than only allowing 1 additional attempt. After a review of past reset usage for this round, there's no evidence of systematic abuse of this bug and it most likely wasn't apparent since the vast majority of Heist Resets are used for Delivery Heists and Bank Robberies which have a larger initial limit of 3 and a longer timer of 6 Hours, resulting in the bug not becoming noticeable for those heists like it would for the much more rarely reset Trap House heist.
2nd May 2026
Improvement

1st May 2026
Improvement

20th April 2026
Change
Black Market: The previous update which merged Sell options into the Buy tab as "Asset Trade-In" was a mistake in hindsight. However the issue of having limited tab space in the Black Market remains, and a common complaint is speed of access. To remedy this, Sell options have moved into their own top-level screen, the Pawn Shop, which also enables further enhancements in future.
20th April 2026
Improvement
Black Market: You can now sell Prison Bribes on the Asset Trade-In tab.
20th April 2026
Improvement
