[h2]Release Notes
[/h2]
[h3]Game Modes
[/h3]Once entering the loading cell screen, the default game mode will be Endless Brawl replacing Heist Mode. This will improve ways to increase win streaks in Brawl Mode as well as making it easier to replace players leaving matches.

We have improved the matchmaking (in Heist), so it’s possible to group up with players as a solo player joining existing groups with up to three players, as well as the other way around. This will improve the overall matchmaking process and increase the pool of players available to play with.

The feature also makes it possible to continue to play with the same group after matches have ended.

Hotfixes: General stability and networking issues fixed.

[h3]Go Wild Pack
[/h3]There will be five new character skins available for free from the loading cell screen:
🐧 Noot
🦆 Quack
🦈 Nibble
🐔 Peck
🐒 George

Lots of love,
Team Rubber Bandits.

Howdy, Bandit!
