Today's update brings a wave of quality-of-life improvements to tactical inventory management, alongside new UI features and audio additions for the Mission Selection screen.

Here is what is new in the latest FUBAR build:

Tactical Inventory & Ammo Repacking
Ammo Stacking Fix: Fixed a bug that prevented loose ammo from stacking when dragged onto another pile within the same bag or pouch. Dragging same-caliber ammo will now correctly merge the bullets up to their maximum capacity, automatically leaving any leftover rounds in the original box.

Smoother Item Management: Upgraded the underlying inventory logic to make dragging, dropping, and combining items feel more responsive.

User Interface & Menu Cleanup
Inventory "Ghost Menu" Fix: Resolved an annoying visual bug where the right-click "Unload Magazine" menu would stay stuck on your screen if you used a hotkey to close your inventory. The menu now properly clears out the moment you exit the screen.

Holographic Map Connectors: The Mission Selection screen now features their target location pins on the tactical world map.

Mission Briefings & Intelligence
Tactical Tooltips: Added a new slide-in intelligence panel to the map. Hovering over a mission pin will now instantly display critical operation details, including objectives, target profiles, classification levels, and OPFOR information.

Audio Additions
Mission Map Ambience: Added looping background ambient music when browsing the Mission Selection screen to set the mood before a raid. The audio automatically stops the moment you deploy or exit the map.
