It’s hard to believe that this day would ever come, but there it is, and Hood: Outlaws & Legends Update 1.7 brings PvE mode named State Heist. The game mode focuses on stealth and methodical operation, as noted by the developers. A team of four players will be put against a faulty and erupting State, in which a very dangerous Sheriff with slightly different limitations patrols around.
To succeed in this PvE session, players will need to be extremely careful, which is usually accomplished by being stealth, calculating each step they take. The developer has also published a State Heist PvE Mode Trailer, which can be found below:
Execute the perfect State Heist to get the Shadowlord costumes in a new event!
To celebrate the State Heist launch, we are kicking off the Survive the State event.
Players who successfully complete a State Heist without dying will receive the new Shadow Lords costume for the character they were playing. A worthy challenge for fearless Outlaws! The rewards will be unlocked when the event ends on August 2nd. The rewards can be found below:
As an outlaw, your job will be immensely difficult, as becoming a legend is not just every day’s work. Players will need to optimize the four classes in their take against the AI, which could potentially make this game mode very fun. As a payout, the rewards are there. With the release of the PvE update, Sumo Digital has also noted that Season 1 is almost here, consisted of free content for all players with another wave of beneficial rewards.
