Hey all! Nothing major this week, just some QoL changes and balance tweaks. A few of these were patched out already a few days ago, but here is a summary of the changes since v1.610.

Enjoy!
----

--- MAJOR GAMEPLAY CHANGES ---

- Tier 2 guns now cost $15000 instead of $10000.

--- MINOR GAMEPLAY CHANGES ---
