With temperatures rising rapidly and gas prices at an all-time high, it seems like somebody is rigging the system in their favor. Players have to uncover the truth as business tycoons make immense profits in the city's chaos.

Players will go undercover and work with Agent ULP from IAA by completing the new Operation Paper Trail. The accused is none other than the rich Duggan petrochemical family whom players need to investigate.
