Summary (AI)

Patch 1.03 for Last Flag introduces Lucia Barbosa, the first dedicated healer Contestant, featuring unique healing abilities, a healing rifle, and her robotic pet Oswaldo. A new Copper Falls map variant and several custom game rule additions, such as Catch-Up mechanics and Auto Flag Pickup, expand gameplay options. Persistent Lobbies are now available, allowing continuous matches with leaderboard tracking, owner controls, and auto-restarts. Numerous fixes address bot navigation, player HUD improvements, weapon tuning, and UI enhancements for smoother gameplay and customization.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Lobby Leaderboards: Track who's on top across a Persistent Lobby's matches.
Smarter Bots: Better navigation around jump pads and tubes, plus improved targeting and reliability.

Get Up (Passive): Lucia resurrects allies 25% faster.
Skins: First Aid launches with a full set of skins to unlock, including Hazmat and Sleepover looks.
Executes: Her own Executes, including the Hurricane Truck.
Achievements: Unlock skins and executes by completing her achievements.
Stick Around: A Persistent Lobby keeps going match after match instead of dissolving when a match ends.
Owner Controls: The owner can kick, ban, and unban players, including from outside an active match, and can transfer ownership to someone else.
Auto-Restart: Instead of a manual Start, Persistent Lobbies run on a countdown so the next match kicks off automatically.
Rules On The Fly: The owner can update the rules to apply on the next match start.
Lobby Browser: Browse Persistent Lobbies with descriptions and game-mode filters to find a room that fits how you want to play.

Auto Flag Pickup: An Auto Flag Pickup rule for Team Deathmatch.
Rule Randomizer: Randomize your Custom Game Rules, including custom and weighted randomization for more control over the chaos.

Minigun Targeting: Changed Minigun targeting logic to hitscan.
Teammate Portraits: Teammate nameplates and in-world icons now show a class portrait for each player instead of a plain number, with team coloring applied.
Activity Feed: Cleaned up confusing activity-feed messages into clear, simple callouts (for example, 'player downed').
Customization Tab: The 'Mark all as seen' button is now disabled when there are no unseen Customization or Player Icon.
Team Deathmatch Starts: Bots no longer try to move into the tubes before a Team Deathmatch match starts.
Smarter Targeting: Bots now prioritize hitting players even when those players aren't carrying flags.
