Content Improvements
(1) Equipment & Modules
Updated the Trigger Module "Supply Fortress" to also recover Rounds when using Barrier type skills and improved the Rounds recovered from 5% → 7%.
(2) UI & UX
Module slots that were previously locked until the required Mastery Rank was reached have now become always visible, and a required Mastery Rank Info tooltip has been added to those slots.
Updated the Onslaught completion count displayed per player in the Onslaught intro scene to show the combined total of Onslaught completions across all Stages.
(3) Miscellaneous
Fixed an issue where auto-targeting the Vulgus Drop Pod with a Weapon or Skill would target the lower part, causing problems due to terrain elevation differences.
Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the phrase "Cannot be acquired by any means other than the skill effect." was missing from the skill summary descriptions in all languages except Korean.
ㄴ "Law of the Battlefield" from Serena's Transcendent Module "Battlefield Nun"
ㄴ "Holy Fire" from Serena's Transcendent Module "Archangel"
Fixed an issue where "Extinguish" from Blair's "Truly Deadly Cuisine" failed to recover HP.
(2) Equipment & Modules
Fixed an issue where Thunder Cage effects would stack in Onslaught.
(3) Content
Fixed an issue where the "Recovery" category of the Inversion Reinforcement Effect was incorrectly displayed as "Assistance."
Fixed an issue where the tooltip content for the "Void Axium" and "Axium Mining" Missions in Axion Plains was displayed incorrectly.
(4) Monsters
Fixed an issue where Void Intercept Battle: Extreme "Frost Walker" would not face the Descendant after using certain skills.
(5) UI & UX
Fixed an issue where the remaining time for the Accelerate Research Event was displayed abnormally when 1 day or less remained.
Fixed an issue where the "Bastion of Immortality" Mission name was displayed incorrectly under "Infiltration Operation: Axion Plains" in the "Weekly Content" section of the Descendant Mission Board.
Fixed an issue where the "Bastion of Immortality" Mission icon was not displayed when checking the map in Albion.
Fixed an issue where "Bastion of Immortality" was not displayed in the Acquisition Info in the Library.
Fixed an issue where Trigger Module Loot J and K could not be set as Target Rewards.
(6) Miscellaneous
Fixed an issue where changing a preset within an Operation Zone after a Mission ended would cause the player to be moved to Albion.
