Version 1.3.0 is the largest update since launch. Breaking a cipher finally gives you something to hold. The password appears character by character as the lock gives way, and it stays with the file afterwards, next to its size, its checksum, where you took it from and the date someone last touched it. Contracts for stolen data now run in two stages. You break the archive open while you are still standing on their server, carry the readable copy home, and reply to your client with it attached. The fee clears once they can open it. Emptying a bank account asks you where the money should go. Your own wallet is the quickest route and leaves your name on the transfer. Sending it to the client who hired you keeps you out of the paperwork entirely. Your crew's treasury takes a share and spreads the exposure. You see what each one pays and what it costs you before you commit to anything. An access log you leave behind will follow you home. For as long as a machine somewhere still holds your address, your heat stops cooling off, and the Firewall screen keeps a list of every one of them. You can go back and scrub the entry yourself, or let the identity burn and start again with your tools, your reputation and your name still intact. There is a soundtrack now. A ping for each relay as the route builds, a low room tone while you work, and the music shifts the moment the last layer falls away. Music and effects have separate volume controls, so you can keep the alarms without the score. Elsewhere in this release: personnel records open as photographed dossiers you can edit a field at a time, servers browse as an icon desktop rather than a list of filenames, crews carry their own emblems, raids are matched by level so newer operators face fair opponents, and the economy and trace timings have been rebalanced from top to bottom.

THE WIRE GOT MEANER — AND FAIRER. BOUNTY BOARD Put a price on a rival's head. Escrow credits, and the next operator to crack that subnet collects the whole pot on top of whatever they skim. Every grudge is now a job posting someone else can take. PICK A SIDE At level 3 you can pledge to a faction. NULLSEKT says the wire owes you nothing — take it. WIREWATCH says someone has to keep it honest. Your flag flies on your profile, and both sides fight for control of the season leaderboard. ATTACK REPLAYS "Watch replay" now does what it promised. See the break-in on your subnet play back move by move — which wall they cracked, what they bypassed, the moment they went for your credits, and whether your defenses caught them. RAIDS NOW RESPECT YOUR ROUTE The big one. Your relay bounce chain finally slows the trace during raids, exactly as it does on regular jobs. If you've invested in relays, raiding just got dramatically more survivable. BRING SOMEONE IN Your operator handle is your invite code. Anyone who redeems it gets 1,500 credits — and so do you. When they reach level 3, you both get 5,000 more. SHARE THE RUN Post your operator dossier or a clean exit as a proper image card, straight from your profile. TELL US THINGS Found a bug or have an idea? Help → About → Send us a signal. It goes directly to the people building the game, no email required. There's a Discord link in there too — the developers are in it. Plus operator portraits across mail, raids, crews and the leaderboard, and patch notes that show up when you update. Good hunting.

Your syndicate just got a voice, and raids got personal. • Crew dossiers: tap any operator on your roster to see their rank, role and season score • Burst transmissions: send encrypted one-liners to crew members, they land in their mail with a push notification • Get notified the moment a new operator joins your syndicate • Raids: crack the vault, read the accounts, and see exactly what you're about to steal • Incoming raid alerts now name the operator who hit you, revenge is a tap away • New system map: watch data flow through your rig, from gateway to background ops • Rebalanced early traces, new operators get room to learn the wire before it burns them • Faster updates: improvements now reach you without waiting for a store release

Nothing much, just a newer split-flap decrypt animations, an animated system circuit map, and a redesigned clean-exit sequence.
