The long, strong arm of the State
In State Heist, you face the full might of the State. With far more guards patrolling the ramparts, grounds, and keep halls, you won’t get away easily if spotted, so think twice before loosing that arrow or bolt. Restraint, patience, and stealth are key to getting in and out alive. The forces of the State are deadlier than ever. A single blow from a knight is fatal to Marianne and Robin, and most characters can’t take two or more hits from any guard and remain standing. Wise Outlaws will time takedowns with their allies, and keep someone hidden to intervene with a timely assassination if the others get spotted and before things spiral out of control. Gear is worth its weight in gold. Smoke bombs, gas grenades and flashbangs are essential to get you out of a pinch.Talismans of death
Death in State Heist is more punishing than in PvP, further emphasizing the need for stealth and the increased danger of engaging guards. Upon death, Outlaws will drop a Talisman which is visible on the map to allies. To be brought back to life, another Outlaw must pick up the Talisman and bring it to one of their captured spawn points. If all Outlaws die, the State wins and the game ends.
Winching for victory
Once you have the chest, an extraction zone will be picked for you at random, resulting in a different route being taken every match. Carry the chest there, the final phase will begin. Rather than require players to winch, progress towards extraction is automatic, allowing players to deal with incoming guards. With the chest gone and the winch working, the State is alerted and will converge on that location. Once the chest is placed, the area around it will turn into a spawn zone where Talismans can be activated to spawn allies. Any guards standing within it will cause the winch to fail and return to the previous notch.
