Previously unveiled by the declaration of "YOU MUST HAVE DRUGS," the Drug Wars mode supports up to 32 players across four teams. "Capture the drugs, stash the drugs, defend the drugs," Paleo explains of the new vehicle-enabled Capture the Flag-esque game type. "The team that holds all of the drugs simultaneously wins."

Though available as a free update for Merchants of Brooklyn owners, Drug Wars is listed as a beta by Paleo, with the company further telling us that it is looking for additional testers. "Email beta@paleoent.com and let us know a little about yourself," the studio said, noting that those selected will receive a complimentary copy of MoB.

As Merchants of Brooklyn is only available on Steam, the patch will be automatically downloaded upon launching the game. Details on the specific changes follow:
