Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster – Ver. 1.2.1

Release date: July 16th/17th 2026
Patch notes:

Features:

In multiplayer, looking around whilst playing as Chief Two Feathers will no longer drain your stamina.
In multiplayer, player name tags are now only shown when in close proximity to enemies, to prevent exposing players in distant hiding spots. Teammate names can still be seen from any distance.
Loading a save from a prior version of the game will now start you from the beginning of that level, with the loadout you had when entering. This is to prevent encountering game breaking bugs caused by bug fixes to the levels.

Bug fixes:

Fixed a bug which would cause saves made on the first level to always restart the level from the start when loaded.
