• Assassin level 15 perk added: Knife backstabs steal credits and add a tiny speed boost

• (has a 7% chance to steal 10x the credits)

• Assassin just has too much of everything, dodge, crit, headshot damage, pistol damage, critical damage, elite damage, 5° deviation off off all weapons, status effect damage and 40% luck, cant take more than 350 damage - thats just too much stats

• The new effect pushes more for dagger usage and is more engaging

• Assassin has 50 more shield, shield regen slowed down

• This will make the class play more than they should - hit hard and run with a downtime

• of the riot guard better

• Plasma Grenade now melts together plating for bonus damage like plasma weapons

• Raider now gains 100/150/200 shields when picking up non dogtags as well (from hotfix)

• Heavy gunner level 25 now improves the onslaught system (gives item exp that will lead to power increase)

• Demolisher and assassin max damage taken benefits are now higher in hyper adrenaline mode (450>1000, 350>900) as they basically break the game mode, (HA increases damage taken by 3x so this is still amazing value)

• Missile drone damage gain per recycling is now 5% - now shows damage bonus in tooltip

Weapons:

• Flamethrower damage was incorrectly way too high, still is far better than pre U24 now

• Ion Cannon damage slightly increased, magsize from 5 > 7

• Tec9 first shot reset time slightly increased (means a bit slower firerate for high accurate taps)

• Apollon LMG magsize 45 > 50
