Operation Medic Bag: Update #34 – Upcoming UI Revamp

+ + + + +

Hello Heisters!

For this week’s blog, we’re walking through the upcoming update, as is customary. You can watch the most recent Dev Update if you’d rather watch than read. We’ll go through them in roughly the same order as the video, so it’s easy to follow.


Let’s start at the updated main menu. The main menu itself has been given a new background, one that doubles as the lobby screen where you’ll see all players in your crew lined up, on top of NYC.

We’ve struggled a bit with communicating to all of our players, since not everyone uses the same platform. So we’ve added a news widget here as well, it’ll let us inform you of any upcoming or ongoing events, as well as sales, new content and more, make sure to keep an eye on it.

Additionally, the social menu has been improved, it’s much easier to navigate the menus and to manage your friends and invites.


Next the Server Browser, a part of the original promise of Operation Medic Bag, it’s a big feature and a huge departure from how the game worked at launch and until now. It lets you filter ongoing games for difficulty, tactics (stealth/loud/any), even filter out heists you’re not in the mood for, or create your own game using those same settings.


In this update, we’re getting in-game text chat and in-game VoIP(v1) for all platforms, and cross-platform.

For now, the VoIP(v1) is active in the lobby screen and in-game. It is not active in menus. It will be enabled by default in its first version - if you’re not a “VoIP kinda person,” keep that in mind.


If they still won’t behave, and you created the lobby - there’s now a kick feature. A feature we ask everyone to please use it responsibly. We will be keeping an eye on excessive and malicious use of this feature. It’s not a great experience to get randomly kicked for no reason, so if you don’t want to play with strangers, you can always set the game to friends-only.


For those who enjoy both playing and watching PAYDAY, there will be a new Twitch Drop campaign, with mask, stickers and charm.

Additionally, we'll be adding a Halloween mask for all players.


Not wanting to be outdone, the wonderful champions in the animation team has been filling out our inspect animations. Look how beautiful they are! LOOK!


Outside of the game, we want to remind everyone that the awesome PAYDAY 3 Soundtrack is available on most streaming platforms! A lot of you have already found it and added it to your playlist, but an extra reminder never hurts, right?

And lastly, the Year 1 Edition, likely, if you are reading this, and you know someone who hasn’t tried PAYDAY 3 yet, this is a great chance! That said, it’s a special edition allowing new players to catch up with the full first year’s worth of content, available to purchase when the next Update goes live.
