UI Revamp
We have completely revamped the Menu UI across the game for a fresher, more intuitive feel.
The UI Update includes the following changes, with more to come in the future:
- Main Menu Revamp - Fresher and more intuitive
- Upgraded Party System - Invite friends and then create/join a Lobby together
- Revamped Heists Results Screen
- Updated Widgets on the main menu - see the Mask of the Week, Challenges and Latest News at a glance
Server Browser
You can now browse a list of available lobbies for you to join, and you can filter the results to see only certain heists, difficulties, or whether the host intends to Stealth the heist, or Go Loud.
You can also create a lobby from this screen by selecting your chosen heist, difficulty, and method of execution (Stealth/Loud) and other players can join you.
Please Note: The Server Browser doesn't allow you to join/host heists you do not own. However, a friend who owns a heist can create a lobby and invite you to join them via the Social Menu.
