Actually since the mission page looks like this;

It suggests that there should be at least 7 more mission NPCs. But as far as I know this has been the amount of mission givers since the beginning of missions so maybe missions 2.0 will be released within the next 5-10 years.

We know who the third mission giver is shes been in the game for a while:

Damaster made a good post here about her kit

The items to activate her are also already in the game and have been for a long time at this point:

"name": "Questionnaire",
"description": "The Neurological Uniform Temperament Survey is a form containing probing psychological questions, the answers to which can be used to determine the subject's proclivities for violence, empathy and general shenanigans.",
"effect": "Needs to be completed and returned to Amanda."

"name": "Agreement",
"description": "The Casus Foederis is a legal document created on behalf of Professor Amanda Ravenscroft. The signing of this document allows for your continued employment by the Professor, but you would be wise to read its terms before you do so.",
"effect": "Needs to be signed and returned to Amanda.",

+ a bunch of other sciency items that most likely relate to her missions

It seems like she was close to release a while ago, but was just put on the side burner for other projects. Hopefully though at some point she will be released preferably not in 5-10 years lol

Edit: Funny enough items related to her were added to the game around the same time as some of the first crimes 2.0 items. With how well crimes 2.0 has been received so far she may potentially be ready sooner than later

Mentions: Amanda [7] · New NPC on the way?

This technically is Missions 2.0... Missions 1.0 was like a decade ago and no longer exists lol.

That's interesting, shame Ched&Co dropped the ball on it though.

We could have had more interesting missions than hurting inactive accounts' legs or convoluted bounty juggling for the points.

The 7-10 different mission types are getting seriously repetitive and the scaling just makes it annoying instead of challenging. Unfortunately you're more or less nerfing yourself by not doing the missions, missing out on weapon addons, special ammo and the chance of books. x/

The scaling really does suck. My mission target today had 60bil stats, Like... Almost 4x my total.

I had to use an epi to beat him which is pretty lame given the rewards...

900k and 25E later I get:

$60,000 received
35 Mission credits received

Whoopie... He's just one of the many people in my mission pool that massively outstat me and I have to use needles to beat them. Then you get crap for rewards. I wish the game would pick more suitable opponents, and stop giving me the same 10 people over and over and over.

Just to clarify here, the items I mention aren't her currently equipped weapons, I had someone check and shes got like a hammer and Heckler and Koch or something equally boring. This isn't unusual for unused NPCs to be doing seemingly random testing though, and I'd put money on the items I mention in that thread to be here gear when she is officially released.
