‘Roidiac Jupiter’ Character Pack Now Available on Steam, Epic, PlayStation and Xbox Series S|X

‘Roidiac Jupiter’ Character Pack Now Available 

Our newest and first fully-fledged character pack, Roidiac Jupiter, is here! The juiced-out, powerhouse version of Jupiter is ready to tear through Rockay City, and she’s now available for purchase across all platforms. Let’s dive into what turned Jupiter into this unstoppable force and what you’ll unlock with this DLC. 

What Happened to Jupiter?

 

After her father was killed during a SWAT raid at their gym, Jupiter returned to a local steroid lab—not just to raid it but to destroy it. With her signature shotgun in hand, she stumbled upon a potent new performance enhancer: a toxic mix of anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, and amphetamines. 

This cocktail transformed Jupiter into a muscular, rampaging behemoth, stronger, tougher, and meaner than ever. With her new form, she’s ready to unleash destruction on the dirty detectives, Donny and Phips, who are responsible for her father’s death. 

 

What’s Included in the Character Pack?

 

Roidiac Jupiter comes fully loaded with weapons, abilities, and perks to unlock the full range of her monstrous potential: 

 

  • SPX with Grenade Launcher
    A tank-like character needs a cannon to match. 
  • Jupiter’s Boxer
    Devastating knuckle dusters capable of sending enemies flying. 
  • Adrenaline Ability
    Activate a powerful roar to stun enemies. While under the effect, Jupiter moves faster, takes reduced damage, and deals extra damage. Keep the adrenaline pumping by taking down foes! 
  • Mule Perk
    Carry up to three loot bags with increased speed while wielding your primary weapon. 

 

Enhance your performance and dominate Rockay City—pick up the Roidiac Jupiter DLC today.

“Bag Mule” – Bag Hauling Boss Build in Crime Boss: Rockay City

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.

If you want to suggest a build, improve on ours or want more of these in the future, join our Discord or let us know our Steam suggestion sub-forum . See you in Rockay City!
