We've finished up our new main menu flow to allow navigation between the lobby, customization, and store to be more seemless. The goal is while you're waiting on a match to start you can still get the full customization experience from within the collection menu. We'll still be adding in some breadcrumbs and polish but this build brings us a step closer to where we want to be.

Earning Gold & Unlocking Chests

Gold chest contain 5 flags, with 2 being rare and a 10% chance of 1 being epic.
Epic chests contain 7 flags; 5 rare, 2 epic and a 10% chance of 1 being legendary.
