Aftermath
The main menu received a major overhaul, starting with a higher resolution of 1024x768 instead of 800x600, an entirely new theme with darker colors, improved friend list and more. The friend list is now a small series of button at the bottom and is also visible in every section of the menu. The event section has taken the available spot below the player / room information section.
Clicking on any of the button on the friend list will bring up a large menu where players can manage their friends, see players in the lobby, their clan members and their inbox. When managing friends, it is now possible to make category to class their friends into different sections if so desired, to be more organized.
Following the update, players will no longer be able to make any sort of changes to the UI folder, which contains kill marks, menu interface, etc. The main reason is that the UI folder, while still in the rez folder, is now updated in a rez file, thus rendering the old UI folder pointless and outdated. It is safe to assume that it was to prevent players to edit the new interface or prevent modding altogether. While it might still be possible, at this point, it would be against the rule to do so, like skin mods.

With the release of the new models of SWAT, OMOH and SAS characters, they replace their original counterpart as default characters for new players, while all of them are still available for purchase in the item shop (old and new models). Logging in after this update will prompt every existing account to still choose between one of them, it is mandatory, but free.
Global Update
- The Vietnamese version was second to receive the update, as of April 28th (2015). Along with it, four Ares weapons were included as part of new Black Market capsules.
- The Japanese version received two modes (Spy & Captain) on April 22nd (2015), along with Ship 2.0. Which means these two modes are not necessarily part of this update and could potentially be added in some other versions before they get say update.
