Crew Reworks: 

Most of these balance changes target the Grit and Economy Perks for various Crews. 

Punks

• Grit: 4
• Lucky Punk: You may exchange remaining Grit for additional dice on the Reward Roll at the end of Operations. You can generate Grit while spending Grit

Has been revised to: 

• Grit: 3
• Lucky Punk: You may exchange remaining Grit for additional dice on the Reward Roll at the end of Operations. Your Crew generates additional Grit when they roll critical hits.  
• Punk Pocket has been nerfed. Instead of granting an item with no load and concealment, it lowers the load of the concealed item by one.

Punks felt too powerful in the first revision. Hope you can still stick it to the man in this update! Let me know how this feels. 

Mercenaries

 Up Front: At the start of the Operation, roll Dice equal to your Crew’s tier and gain that much CRED. You still receive the Reward at the end of a successful mission. 

Has been revised to: 

Up Front: At the start of the Operation, roll 1d and gain that much CRED. You still

receive the Reward at the end of a successful mission

This update gives Mercs a scaling pay raise that should help them keep pace with other economy perks as the game goes on. 

Gang

Black Market: You always get one additional CRED per COMPONENT when you Exchange COMPONENTS for CRED. All Exchange costs are reduced by 1 CRED or by 1

COMPONENT. This cannot reduce the cost to zero

Has been revised to: 

Black Market: You always get one additional CRED per COMPONENT when you Exchange COMPONENTS for CRED. All Exchange costs are reduced by 1 CRED or by 1 COMPONENT. This can reduce costs to zero. 

Gangs should be allowed to steal hope this helps.

Detectives

Silver Lining: The first time each of you fail a roll in an Operation, each Crew

Member may ask a Gather Information question. Whenever you receive REP, receive

that much CRED

Has been revised to: 

Silver Lining: The first time each member of your Crew fails a roll in an Operation, each Crew Member may ask a Gather Information question. Your Crew gets +1d to all Acquire Asset rolls. 

This should hopefully give Detectives a more interesting tactical niche

Misc Changes

• New Agent Gear Item Added: Skill Chip 
• Stun Weapon added to General Agent Gear
