EA Content Update 4 - Masters of Disguise

This was the fourth content update after the Project Winter early access release. Its technical name was v0.1.7390. Notably, it introduced the ability to swap clothes and the Hysteria Global Event. The following is a transcript of the patch notes.

Patch Notes
The fourth content update is now live! This update includes a feature we’re really excited about: Swapping clothes with a dead player! Players will now be able to change their appearance to disguise themselves as another player who has died. You’ll have to use your powers of deduction to figure out the truth. The rest of the content update includes:

Swapping Clothes
When a player interacts with a corpse they will now have the option to swap clothing. Swapping clothes will only exchange the clothing and hair. Body type will not switch. After swapping clothes the player will switch names with the corpse, and the players role will be re-concealed to any player that used a truth serum on them.

New Global Event

 * We’ve added a new global event, it will last for a short duration and will affect all players in game.

More bonus objectives

 * 21 new bonus objectives have been added. Don’t forget to check the cabin map to claim one!

Animal AI improvements

 * Animals now have collision.
 * Wolf AI improvements.

We’ve also fixed a few bugs! Please check out the entire build notes below:
