addedThings are getting serious in The Brewline. In our last update, we showed you the fresh new UI. Now, we're adding the smell of gunpowder to the mix.

addedThe world of smuggling isn't just about clean trade; sometimes you have to show your rivals who's boss. That's why we're introducing dangerous new features to the game:

addedWeapons & Combat: When bottles break, you need something louder. We've added essential firearms to the game: Pistol, Revolver, and Shotgun. Protecting yourself and your product is no longer an option, It's a necessity.

addedGang Mechanics: You are not alone in this city. Rival gangs can now threaten your territories. You must defend your turf and, if necessary, use force to intimidate your competition.

addedNew NPC: The Arms Dealer: A new "Merchant" has arrived in town. He is your go-to contact to purchase new weapons and stock up on ammo. If you want to survive the streets, you'll need to pay him a visit.

addedThese new mechanics completely change the strategic depth of the game. Victory now belongs not just to those who brew the best shine, but to those who rule the streets.
