GTA Online Heists: official patch notes list changes to Job Voting, fixes, more

Heists isn't the only thing rolling out for GTA Online today with the title updates, as a myraid of fixes and a change to the Next Job Voting Screen have been implemented.

You can look over the full notes through the Rockstar Support site, which includes an overview of Heists as well as how to get started in the new content - something we've covered before.

Below you will find the notes for Update 1.21 (PS3/Xbox 360) and 1.07 (PS4/Xbox One) which are part of the main content push, but not all are necessarily Heists-centric.

New Features / Updates

Changes have been made to the Matchmaking options and UI. This affects:
Next Job Voting Screen

• There are now 2 pages of jobs down from 3.
• The first page will display only Jobs of the same type you just finished playing, including a “Random” option. For example, if you just finished playing Rooftop Rumble, only Missions will appear on the new first page, and you will have a “Random Mission” option.
• The second page will show a random selection of jobs, similar to how the Next Job Voting Screen works now, to allow players to change Job types if desired.

On Call

• Quick Jobs will now place the player On Call.
• Players who choose to join Jobs using the phone’s Quick Job function will now be shown which Job they will be joining.

Corona

• Players who are not the Host are now able to send Job invites when in a lobby for a Job, so long as the Host sets the Client Invites option to Open (visible on the Matchmaking screen when in a lobby). Please note that only Hosts can invite to Head to Head and Challenge Playlists.
• A new invite option has need added – “From Last Heist”. This option allows players to invite all players from a previous Heist in the session. This will only appear if there are players to invite.

The following Job types now have limited durations while in Open lobbies to mitigate lengthy settings chosen by some hosts (Please note that all options are still available for private, friends, and crew only sessions):

• Deathmatch – Maximum time of 20 minutes
• Capture, LTS, Versus and Adversary Mode (max rounds) – 4 (2 Team Mission), 3 (3 Team Mission), 2 (4 Team Mission)

Online Menu

• Join Job has been renamed to Quick Job.
• Host Job has been renamed to Play Job.

Etc.

Players can access their saved Outfits at the Outfit counter in a clothes store, from the wardrobe in their apartment, or through the Interaction menu. They can also wear these saved outfits when ‘Player Owned’ is selected as the clothing option in a Heist or Adversary Mode corona.
• A new UI and color scheme has been added for player phones to allow Heist related activities and invites to stand out. All Heist related invites are green.
