Playtest News: pistols, cop tempo and base payouts

The post announced planned adjustments to spawn weapons, base payouts, land rental and the tempo of the police. Reported specifics include a pistol start, badge purchases whose rarity depends on the district, and slower police respawns. Kefir said the changes would arrive as ready rather than in one drop.

That wording matters for anyone keeping a changelog. There is no single version number to point at, and no published completion date. This desk records it as an announcement of intent, and will only treat a change as live when Kefir publishes it as such. The same announcement followed the closure of the October playtest.

A separate reference site that covered the pre-launch period recorded the playtest closing on 2 November 2026 at 08:00 CET. That detail is a second-hand citation of an official announcement and is noted here as such, not as a Kefir quote.
