BRIEFCASE UPDATE

Now drops briefcases onto the map so you don't need to rely on dying so much. Still drops one when you die.

PERFORMANCE

- Improved overall performance with increased monster populations.

BALANCE + BUG FIXES

-Rebalanced fodder waves and enemy ratios -Decreased enemy HP on later missions -Small nerf to minigun range -Enemy whale guns are slower -Shield no longer recharges after reaching zero during a wave -Shield won't throw enemies and kaiju around

After this update, my next priority is a meta progression system to go along with some new difficulty levels/challenges.

Thanks as always for playing! Let me know what you think about the new levels and features!

-Adam
