- Added 38 new Red Mods, which can be obtained in Elite Run Endless Mode & Weekly Peak Showdown missions
Bug Fixes:

- Fixed some localization issues
- Fixed an issue which caused incorrect death animations to play when larger Nanos were defeated
- Fixed an incorrect "swing" effect for the water bottle and grenade featured on the Lucky Leshy skin

Weapon Balance Optimization：
We have completed a comprehensive review of Vicious Cycle's performance in-game and made the following adjustments:
Weapon Basics
Before:
Fire Piercing Blades that return to the weapon when reloading or reaching their maximum distance. May also trigger a Stun effect.
After:
- Fire Piercing Blades that can penetrate enemies
- Every 3 shots a special Piercing Blade will fire that can return back to the weapon
- Each time the weapon is reloaded, or when the Piercing Blades reach their maximum distance, the special Piercing Blades will return to the weapon and deal damage
- In addition, every 4th special Piercing Blade will turn into a lightning ball and deal area damage on its way back, and all special Piercing Blades will have a chance to trigger a Stun effect
Stat Changes
- Bullet velocity increase: 8000 → 16000 (160m/s)
- Penetration damage no longer reduces upon each successive penetration
- Flight time → 0.5 seconds
- Flight distance: 60m → 80m
- Penetration target count: 2/4/6/8/10 → 20 for all levels
