Why this desk exists

A patch log for this game has an unusual constraint: the 1 November announcement said adjustments would roll out as ready rather than in one numbered patch. There is no single version to attach a change to. This index therefore records announcements as dated statements of intent, and marks clearly which ones have a published completion date. None of them do at the time of checking.

Read this index alongside the Federal Raid page. The reset happens every seven days and rewrites plots, bases, weapons and cash, so a change to base payouts or land rental has a different meaning depending on where in the cycle it lands. Entries below are newest first; each one links to the sources used for the dates and the claims.
