IMPROVEMENTS
Improved localization implementation.
Slight logic improvements with bullets.
UPCOMING CHANGES
In Update 2.1.4 I introduced user stats migration from PlayFab to Steam. A lot of time has passed since then, so in the next hotfix or update I will be removing this completely.
If you still haven't migrated your stats, now is the time to do so. You can do this simply by opening the game.

Improved Trade Up UX.
CHANGES
Changed where doors are located in Castle.
Trade Up system has been changed completely. Previously you could get any higher skin, didn't matter from which Lootbox you used skins from, but now it's based on how many items from which Lootbox you put items in to the trade up. For example if you use 6 Rare Alpha Lootbox items, and 4 Rare Bravo Lootbox items, you will get a Mythic Alpha Lootbox item.
