Thick as Thieves Update 3 Preview Outlines Map Variety and Difficulty Progression

Otherside Entertainment detailed upcoming changes for Thick as Thieves Update 3, targeting the week of June 15th. The patch introduces compass tracking for objectives, earlier unlocks for the Chameleon and Master Thief difficulties, and enhanced map security variations.

Ahead of its scheduled release the week of June 15th, Otherside Entertainment has outlined the planned changes for Update 3 in Thick as Thieves, focusing on navigation clarity, replayability, and early access to advanced roles.

Navigation and Objectives

Missions and contracts are receiving clarity passes to reduce confusion. Objective locations for set-collection and contracts will now appear directly on the map and compass once players uncover the relevant clues during a heist.

Map Dynamics and Security

Maps are becoming more dynamic with new weather variations, unexpected level surprises, and randomized entry point security layouts. Novice difficulty gains an extra layer of security layouts, though Thief difficulty retains the highest variation and best payouts.

Earlier Access to Advanced Modes

Players looking for specialized playstyles can reach high-tier content sooner. The Chameleon approach unlocks earlier after completing Contract 3, while Master Thief difficulty becomes available in the Black Market upon reaching Level 8.

Bug Fixes

The upcoming update permanently addresses the bug where the 'HOLD F' prompt would occasionally get stuck on the screen during gameplay, alongside other general bug fixes.

Why this patch matters

Update 3 targets core navigation and replayability pain points, giving players better tools for tracking objectives while opening up advanced difficulties sooner.
