Inspect, Analyze, and Protect
With the opening of Franklin’s inspection stations, the Brighton Police Department takes on additional responsibilities. Officers check passports, driver’s licenses, and cargo manifests, looking for errors or forged details. When suspicion arises, vehicles can be redirected for detailed searches of trunks, interiors, and engines to uncover contraband or safety violations.
Work doesn’t stop outdoors: inside the administrative building, officers handle desk inspections and question individuals to verify travel and cargo details.
Advanced Tools and Equipment
With the Contraband Expansion, Officers gain access to advanced inspection technology including the biometric kiosk, inspection mirror, X-ray scanner, and substance analyzer. The Titan Police SUV joins their fleet, ready for patrols and pursuits.
Observation towers and binoculars help monitor the area, while new watchtower duties allow officers to oversee the border zone, report incidents, maintain perimeter safety and repair the fence if necessary.
Dynamic Scenarios and Cooperative Gameplay
Every check holds the risk of escalation when suspects try to flee, resist, or start a pursuit. These moments can become even more intense when combined with the Highway Patrol Expansion, resulting inhigh-speed chases on the highway. Officers can also use the new non-lethal shotgun to safely detain resisting suspects when necessary.
All new features can be experienced solo or in multiplayer, with full DLC sharing support, ensuring every partner can participate in the new duties regardless of ownership.
