Version 1.2.5
NEW
Cop sub-classes:
- SWAT, CIA and FBI cop skins are now separate 'sub-classes' with their own abilities and weapon loadouts.
- SWAT (cop rank 8) can call for Encorcer and SWAT tank vehicles and get an uzi on their default loadout. They also have slightly reduced blip visibility towards suspects.
- FBI (cop rank 4) has even less blip visibility and can call for the FBI truck and FBI rancher.
- CIA (cop rank 6) has much less blip visibility and can call for the unmarked police car.
- Use these classes by simply changing skin at any police department or clothes shop.
- Players that already have these skins set will not lose them.
Bank robbery improvements:
- The bank robbery now has some cool effects when the detonation method of opening the vault is used.
- The door will fall off with an animation rather than instantly.
- Grenades can no longer be used to detonate the vault. Only satchels.
- A satchel will be visibly attached to the vault door with a sound played.

- Upon exiting the bank, the hideout location name is now shown in the subtitle text at the bottom of the screen.
- Bank robbers can now deliver bank robbery cash sacks if they are in sight of the cops, however not if a cop is within 100 meters. It is no longer based on your evasion status (wanted stars flashing). Nearby cops must not be paused or in the death process.
- Fixed vault guard not doing any damage to players when shooting them.
- The area just to the right of the 4 dragons casino (if looking at it from the front side) now has some decorative objects which Rockstar removed which were present on the PS2 version of the game. Added by MD045 - thanks!

- Securicar 'Collect the cash from the shopkeeper' - 'shopkeeper' is now red not green to match the radar blip/checkpoint.
- Securicar 'Collected $12345 from [store name]' store name is now the full name e.g. 'Jay's Diner' rather than just the interior type e.g. 'Diner'.
- Trying to exit the Securicar store before collecting the cash from the shopkeeper will still deny exit, but a hint will appear on screen about using /end to end the mission.
- Due to cop XP boosting/farming from a suspect shooting a vehicle, the cop ticketing them and endlessly repeating, XP from issuing and collecting tickets is now limited once per 5 minutes per player.
- Due to cop XP boosting/farming from a cop paroling or bribing a suspect out of jail, suspect punching the cop, cop arresting them again and repeating, cops will no longer get XP or cash for tazing/cuffing/ticketing/arresting etc. a suspect within 5 minutes of accepting a bribe from them or paroling them.
- 'Bribe expired' message changed to 'Bribe offer expired' to avoid confusion.
