📖 New Story: Between Conscience and Duty!

You are no longer just a traffic cop; you are a father whose family has been taken hostage by the cartel. The only way to save them is to grant "special privileges" to cartel vehicles passing through your checkpoint. But be careful:

  • Family Status: You can track the safety of your kidnapped family via a dedicated panel on your screen. The more you satisfy the cartel, the safer your family remains.

  • Voice Messages: Incoming voice messages from your family will make you feel the weight of your decisions at every moment.

  • The Critical Balance: sen You must walk the fine line between the cartel's trust and your professional loyalty.

⚖️ Loyalty and Bribery Mechanics

We’ve introduced a new Balance System. Your decisions directly impact two visual bars:

  • Trust vs. Reputation: Help the cartel too much, and you might be fired or even arrested. Perform your duties too strictly, and the cartel may harm your family.

  • Bribery Offers: When you press cartel members, they may offer you a bribe. Will you take the money and risk your career, or remain an honest officer? Remember, taking too many bribes can land you behind bars!

🔍 Vehicle Search and Inspection

We have completely removed the racing mechanics to focus entirely on the checkpoint experience:

  • Detailed Search: You can now stop vehicles and search them thoroughly.

  • Illegal Items: Confiscate weapons, narcotics, and contraband to issue heavy fines. Of course, you must consider how this will affect your relationship with the cartel!

🎨 Visual and Technical Enhancements

  • New ModelsWe have rebuilt all in-game models from scratch, including a brand-new model for our main protagonist.

  • User-Friendly UI: Menus and in-game indicators have been fully modernized for a smoother and more intuitive experience.

  • Global Support: Not ACAB is now playable in 12 different languages (French, German, Russian, and more)!
