Stonks Market
Fear & Greed has you set your sights on Wall Street to tank all the stocks that Concord has even the slightest involvement in and cripple his operation indefinitely.
How do you go about that? Well, both stealth and loud options are available, so you’ll need to decide how to approach this. For stealth, you will be able to grab a favor that’ll get you onto the exchange floor unmasked. Otherwise, your ingress point will be to zipline down the elevator shaft from the roof.
First, you will need to breach one of the broker companies and hijack a computer to get access to their systems, steal a USB credential key, and then load it into one of the booths to get access to a control panel inside the exchange room. You sneaky folks will gain access to night-night gas to get around the civilian problem.
From there, you start shorting your nemesis’ stock, and make Concord’s money go bye-bye, then shut down the markets with a stashed EMP device. Your egress point will depend on your volume of play, but the loud option means making a whole new escape route.
While the stealth starting condition can be purchased through a favor, there will be other favors available to make your time on Wall Street more like a saunter through Easy Street. We’ll leave the element of mystery as to bonus objectives and minutiae of play for when you get your hands on the heist!
New Tailor and Weapon Packs:
Bling out with the Tailor Pack that gives you a range of outfits and masks themed around the different broker personalities: bull, wolf, bear, and rabbit.
New Weapons:
- The first offering is the TAS-12 shotgun that connoisseurs of close-quarter combat will know and love immediately.
- The Jackknife SE5 is a workhorse of a secondary weapon, broadening the offering of light armaments with another solid pick.
- Last, but definitely not least, the Garstini Viper .50AE is another beast of a gun. We’d like to call it a pistol, but this instantly recognizable piece will poke holes in anyone and anything that dares step into your crosshairs.
The M135 ARGES Minigun will also be available for free as part of the update.
Alongside this, Derek Ray as Houston will also be free with today’s patch! You can check out the trailer for that here.
Once the official patch notes are out, we’ll update the article with the info.
Update: Complete patch notes have been added courtesy of Starbreeze.
