A Christmas In Plain Sight
- In a final attempt to get off the naughty list, the thieves have been plotting their biggest plan yet… putting up Christmas decorations!
- The police, however, will not be having any of this seasonal joy. No amount of holiday magic will relieve the thieves’ crimes…
- Thieves can collect decorations from piles near some deposit points on all maps
- Theses decorations can be placed at a blue decoration marker
- Once placed, cameras can fire 3 lasers at them to remove them
- There is a new holiday-only collectable/currency: Holiday Cheer
- Earned by thieves decorating and maintaining their decorations throughout the round
- Cameras can also earn Holiday Cheer by taking down the thieves’ decorations with lasers
- The amount of Holiday Cheer you have can be viewed above the missions board in the lobby
- This currency is saved between sessions
- Added Cole, a new special limited-time event thief rewarded for every 70 Holiday Cheer you gain
