- a new type of weapon mounted directly on selected car models;
- new vehicle hacking mechanics enabling us to stop, accelerate or even blow up the victim's vehicle.
All indications are that the novelties proposed by the studio in Update 2.0 will make the city streets much more dangerous, but also interesting. Players interested in more details are encouraged to read the full content of the entry.
