This update brings out a new overhauled UI, a party system, and updated Flatline and much more! You can find the detailed changes on the changelog.
The New UI
The UI has been re-written from ground up. And not only that, the old lobby system has been fully scrapped and been replaced by this new party system (max 8 members). With this new party system, the party leader who creates a lobby game (Peer-2-Peer / Reservation) or by simply joining a dedicated server, those on your party will also automatically join if they are not already in a game.
Language Update
You can now change the Language of the game from the Options to any of the available languages. By default it uses the same language as your Steam application, but will revert to English if said language is not support and/or does not exist.
Attachment System Updated
You can now drop attachments that you don't like and/or want. After being dropped, the attachment can only be picked up by the player that dropped it for 30 seconds. But do remember that some weapons does not support any kind attachments, or said attachment.
