Thick as Thieves Update 2 Adds Custom Keybinds and Map Mission Timer

Thick as Thieves Update 2 introduces customizable keyboard and mouse keybindings, a mission timer on the map, and a 5-second respawn timer. The patch also addresses rooftop navigation snags and safe drag marks.

Thick as Thieves director Jeff Hickman outlined planned changes for Patch 2, focusing on control updates, navigation fixes, and quality-of-life adjustments.

Interface and Controls

Keyboard and mouse keybindings can now be changed at will. Pressing Tab brings up the mission timer on the map screen. Intro cinematics play more consistently for all players, and character models display properly in both the wardrobe and mission lobby.

Heist Flow and Guards

When a thief is knocked out, the respawn timer drops to 5 seconds. In the Guildhall, Constables moving their safe leave more apparent drag marks in the world. Haunstable entities maintain their short ghostly memory around fallen guards, frequently acting surprised when checking bodies.

Environment and Navigation

The Guild smoothed out rough rooftop edges along Elway Manor to keep players and zipwires from getting stuck during infiltration. Localization fixes are applied across all supported languages.

Why this patch matters

Update 2 targets practical pain points like control mapping and mission pacing, making heists smoother without altering core mechanics.
