In order to celebrate a massive milestone where the game has reached more than 25 million players across Android and iOS devices, FoxGlove Studios and publisher PlayStack has released a massive new update which includes fan requested features along with over 100 improvements such as new modes, weapons and power ups.

The update, currently available, tweaks the game for both newcomers and hardcore players, adds a brand new single player mode and brings along a newly redesigned interface. Here’s an overview of the new mechanics:

  • Thief Race mode where players go head-to-head with their crew in order to get the only seat in the getaway van.
  • Pro Thief mode will keep you on the edge of your seat if a sniper takes out just one member of your clan, it’s all over.
  • Single-player Horde Mode, where players take on the role of a sniper and take down wave upon wave of AI thieves.
  • Triggered Explosives: Launch mines onto the path of unsuspecting thieves.
  • Rail Gun: This weapon can see through through, making it the perfect weapon against weapon who keep hiding. Beware, however, as you have a handful of seconds to use it.
  • Air Strike: Select a zone and bring the pain from the skies.
  • Placeable Turrets: A.I. controlled turrets which auto-aims the enemy’s pathway.
  • Vampire Run: Potion which allows the player to run at exhilarating speed however it will also chip away at your health.

  • Buddy Speed: Freeze a selected thief for a few seconds and they’ll come out with an incredible speed boost.
