Personal Vehicles & Character Appearance

It's been just over a month since update 1.0 went live, and we're thrilled to see so many of you enjoying the server. The numbers we've continued to see have completely blown away our expectations since launch! Here are just a few of the stats from the community so far:

On behalf of the entire team, thank you all for your continued support, feedback, and suggestions — we couldn't do this without you.

With that in mind, update 1.1 is here! This release introduces a brand-new character Appearance Menu, along with the ability to use clothing stores, barber shops, and tattoo parlours while off duty, opening the doors for unique character customization.

We're also rolling out Personal Vehicles! When you spawn a vehicle from the station garage, it's now assigned to you, complete with a map blip showing its location at all times. Only members of your department can drive your vehicle, helping reduce unwanted theft.

The update doesn't stop there — 1.1 also lays important account groundwork with unique account usernames, adds a built-in Wikipedia to help you find your feet, and brings new callouts with more variety and scenarios across departments, alongside a long list of gameplay refinements and fixes detailed below.
