General

Hello! Our monthly Boss Build for Crime Boss: Rockay City is here!

In our previous post, we focused on health and taking the bullets on behalf of your crew. This included heavy weapons, equipment to defend your position, and perks designed to keep you in the fight as long as possible. You can check out “The Tank” and our other previous builds here:

“The Tank”

“Going Loud”

“Going Silent”

This build will set you up to effectively bus bags from the mission area to the escape location on behalf of your team. Be sure to remember to keep your crew members close as carrying multiple bags will force you to use your sidearm and leave you vulnerable to enemy fire.

As noted in the posts above, these builds apply to your multiplayer boss and not necessarily for single-player heisters, though they can be used for inspiration. Let’s get into it!

Weapons              

Primary:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SMG 9mm ESOG is the perfect weapon to have when you want to get in quiet and if things get loud on your way out. A decent mag size and exceptional accuracy make this weapon great when you’re under pressure and need to drop a bag to pick off the opposition before continueing on to the drop off point.

Secondary:

 

 

 

 

 

 

High damage, deadly accurate and semi-automatic. Aim for the head and keep it moving; this is just the sidearm you need when your hauling the loot out of the job.

 

Equipment

 

 

Carry a third bag and potentially save you and your crew a trip. Best for long missions that require you to move over a sizeable distance to the exfil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

While the Mule Booster is the obvious pick for the “Bag Mule” build, the silenced stun grenade is also a great option.

On jobs like the Jewelry Store heist or Branch Bank, where the escape vehicle is nearby, the stun grenade can incapacitate enemies long enough to drop off your loot and return to the task.

Perks

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you do end up being the designated bag carrier, odds are you’ll go down. You might get swamped by the opposition and are unable to switch to your prim

ary in time. Make sure your crew can get you back on your feet and that they have the time to do it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

With your hands full you’ll be left vulnerable to other attacks. Resistance will do exactly as the name says and keep you on the move.

 

 

 

 

 

 

With all that money on your back you can be sure that cops and gangs alike will be gunning for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best applied when you have Mule Booster equipped. Move fast and reload on the fly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great with the Mule Booster or the Silenced Stun Grenade. Carry three bags more often or cause long lasting damage to your enemies senses.

And that’s it! Thank’s for reading.

Here’s another Boss character build for Crime Boss: Rockay City!

In our previous posts, we focused on creating well-rounded loadouts for stealth gameplay and going loud. You can check them out here:

505 Games » “Going silent” – Stealth Boss Build in Crime Boss: Rockay City

505 Games » “Going Loud” – Combat Boss Build in Crime Boss: Rockay City

For this build, we’ll be focusing on health and damage threshold, giving your Boss the greatest survivability among your crew members. With this setup, you’ll be leading the charge, drawing more gunfire, and giving your teammates a chance to thin out the enemy numbers or get away with the loot.

As always, these builds apply to your multiplayer boss and not necessarily for single-player heisters, though they can be used for inspiration. Let’s get into it!

After much buildup and anticipation, InGame Studios and 505Games are excited to announce that Crime Boss: Rockay City’s 11th major update is now available for players to enjoy.

This update brings new and fun content to experience, but most importantly, it delivers numerous fixes and adjustments that players have requested and patiently awaited.

Working on Update 11 has been primarily an effort to improve the game’s quality of life and iron out any lingering issues. While we’ve included some fresh new content for you to explore and experiment with, the main focus of this update is on ensuring that Crime Boss plays as smoothly and as fun as possible.

The content of this update is too long to list here but we will cover some of the essentials.

New Content:

• New gadgets added: Proximity Mine, Camera Spy, Colorful Magazine.
• New weapon combinations added.
• “Defend business partner” mission added as a Defend Warehouse variant.
• Silver and Wiz are unlockable for Multiplayer now.

Updates:
Progression

• Account and Campaign progression is now slightly faster.
• Perks were moved out from the progression system and can be purchased directly in “Boss customization” screen including new Tier III perks.
• First win of the day added to boost progression. Available in Multiplayer missions.

Gameplay Balance

• All tiers of perks are now available.
• Previously acquired perks will grant one pending level each so players can choose reward compensation.
• Explosion timer for grenades starts after grenade is released, not after it impacts target.
• Hard and Extreme difficulty was rebalanced for better challenge.
• Improvements of bots.
• New ping options added for bot commanding.
• Updated DLSS and XeSS to newer versions.

Fixes:

• Multiple fail-safes to prevent progress loss on game crash/ electricity loss/ etc.
• Non-player characters (bots) in Multiplayer no longer take a hidden 4% mission cut each.

• “Cagnali’s Fortress” mission:
  • Should now show an accurate maximal reward.
  • Should now give a vastly increased reward in the campaign (previously it used the default amount).
  • It always gave the maximal reward in Multiplayer. Now it’s based on mission progress and performance.

Modding:
• Implementing a UGC plugin for loading mods (Unreal Engine plugins), giving you the ability to Blueprint mod the game.
• Creating composite tables for the most-used DatabaseTables with BP functions to append new (or existing) tables into the composite tables, which is great for replacing or adding new weapons, for example.
• Adding the ability to add gameplay tags with the UGC Mod.
• When a campaign mode defines no map layout presets, gang starting positions will fallback to random, valid turfs (which allows for completely randomized starting positions).

Known issues:
