Today, as well as the Agent Pack release we are also dropping the 1.02 patch across all platforms. For consoles, this means you'll also get the fixes and changes from 1.01 and the below changelog.
It's mentioned in the Mission Changes section, but as another warning, If you have a save midway through one of the missions that have received changes and begin to play from that, you will still have the old layout and changes until you either restart the mission or select the mission again from the Campaign Map. This was done to keep your save files in-tact.
Now, let's get to the notes!
New Features
- Updated the Factions Flags to emphasise they are interactable.
- Reduced load times for missions
