Drug Overhaul

The drug system has had a full overhaul, you now have progression levels that earn you more money and unlock new drugs the higher level you go. This change has also added in the ability to use LSD which gives you a hard trip but rewards you with over health for some time.

You can now craft gas masks to help prevent BZ gas damage from collecting various items.

We have seen a lot of locations come and go recently but some notable changes have been the new Legion Square, Benny's Mechanics, LSC Mechanics, and the introduction of many rentable billboard locations around the city.
