CrimeBloc Update: Operations V2, Crime Overhaul & Stock Market Return

A major CrimeBloc update has arrived.

This update introduces a brand new story campaign, a completely rebuilt Crimes system, the return of the Stock Market, and improvements across multiple systems.

Operations V2

A brand new 20 Operation storyline is now available.

Follow an investigation from missing shipments and corrupted officials all the way to the people controlling the criminal underworld.

Work alongside Viktor Zolotov, Irina Shapova and The Broker as you uncover the truth behind the route leaks.

Your reputation will change throughout the story. Start as an unknown criminal and become the person the biggest names in the city are trying to stop.

Crime System Rework

The Crimes system has been rebuilt from the ground up.

What's changed:

  • Crime timers have been removed • Adrenaline has been removed and converted into Credits at a 1:1 rate • Personal Heat now affects success rates and arrest risk • Choose between Quiet, Calculated and Aggressive approaches • City Police Pressure now affects everyone • Crime Incidents introduce unexpected decisions during attempts • Crime Mastery continues to improve your progression • Repeated crime attempts now have diminishing returns that recover over time

Crime is no longer about waiting.

It is about managing risk.

Stock Market Returns

The Stock Market has reopened.

New risks have been introduced:

  • 3% brokerage fee on purchases • 3 minute minimum holding period • 25% profit exit tax • Company crashes • Flash crashes • Increased crash risk as stocks rise above their baseline value

Investment limits:

  • $1,000,000 maximum per company • $2,000,000 maximum portfolio

The market is not a guaranteed money maker.

Every position carries risk.

Busting Improvements

Busting has received a major overhaul.

Players no longer need to grind hundreds of attempts before seeing their first successful bust.

The progression curve has been improved, allowing you to start with better chances and improve as you complete more busts.

A new Bust Risk indicator has also been added.

Additional Changes

  • Bullet Timer owners can now see Bullet Factory release timers in Cities Overview • Poker Tournaments have been disabled due to low usage

🚗 Auto Theft Changes Coming Soon...

The city is changing.

How you adapt is up to you.
