Updates

^{March 18th, 2018}

There are a gaggle of new updates. That's right, an entire gaggle. Check out what we got along with a bunch of enhancements / fixes / features...

Features

• Tracer - The Tracer is a new Hardware item. It can be activated for 20 minutes before it disables itself. While active, it uses CPU and Network to run and scan for people connecting to you. It automatically adds attackers to your slaves list. It costs $100,000 to buy (1 time purchase), but free to enable and disable it at anytime. It does not always catch the attacker and it is tailored towards lower players in an interesting and secret way to benefit them more.

                

• rmlist - This new Terminal command allows you to effectively delete an entire type of file from your local File Explorer. This is great if you wanted to get rid of all the books you have collected over time for example. Here is a snippet on it's usage: rmlist book

                

• Software Pack - A new Software Pack has been added to the game, replacing all of the core Softwares currently available. This fun pack has awesome new icons with some strange names as well. Dubbed the "Alien Pack", you can find them scattered around NPC's as well as the special Firewall version can be found on the secret NPC, Area 52! Go try and find them all.

                

• Permanent Triple XP - We have from time to time ran special Triple XP days or sometimes for a week straight. After some evaluating, it actually seems like this should be on all the time, so it is now! Missions will earn you triple the benefit all the time now, forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

• where - Where is a new Terminal command aimed at helping out the newer players. This command works by typing "where" (or any of it's existing aliases) and then a few characters of an NPC name, like "pent" for "The Pentagon". When ran, this command will return the IP Address of that NPC. Pretty neat ey? This definitely prevents people from asking for an IP Address in chat only to get compromised by the other people watching that chat and knowing the person will go to it.

                

• Mission Achievements - Previously there were only around 9 achievements that could be earned doing Missions. There are now 44 that you can earn for doing Missions. This was with the help of the player BornLiveDie who came up with the names, mission counts and reputation earnings. Say thanks to him if you see him around!

• Whispers - You can now secretly share information with other players in the global game chat. This is called a "whisper". The syntax is pretty easy. Simply begin a chat message with /w and click the persons name. Messages whispered show up in chat in an orange color. Example: /w @BornLiveDie this is my secret message to you

                

                

• Notifications Panel - A full notifications panel has been created, splitting your game notifications into 9 sections: Official Slavehack 2 Messages, News, Achievements, Bank Account Cracking, Bitcoin Packets, Mission Messages, DDoS Hits, Level Ups and User Notifications. Click the Envelope icon to the right side of the date/time to toggle open and manage notifications. Notifications can also be deleted from any section but the first 2 by clicking the little "x" to the top right of a notification. -- With the "News" section of the new panel, this contains news blurbs about hacks targetings NPC's. There is a 1 - 2 percent chance your hack will make it on the News within any given time period.
