This week's update rounds out the expanded siege mode with new lobby UI. The new interface shows launched players, highlights captains, and makes the siege team visible in the crew lists.
Some simple challenges tied to the adjustable weapons have also been added that unlock six new cosmetics.
This week's update is small to accommodate work being done on a new trailer that better reflects the gameplay of expedition mode.
