Drone Reworks:
The enemy type known as the drone is a support unit that is invulnerable whilst not attacking, firing an incredibly fast and damaging projectile. Players would regularly cheese/abuse this enemy when in isolation. Various other factors saw this enemy being a little uninspiring to encounter, so we've made modifications to its behavior to address the above.
- When punched, the drone enters an alternate stun state where it drops a stunning field that slows the player and drains their health
- Drones now take reduced damage from melee attacks
- Explosives now pass through Drone shields
- A new weapon has been introduced to directly counter Shielded enemies like the Drones
- Drones now drop a custom armor pickup upon death rather than the standard shard
Fixes:
- Fixed shotguns projectile piercing

- Fixed issue where certain interactions caused the players weapons to vanish
- Fixed issue where pressing Escape would interact with pause menu buttons
- Stalker Homing Projectile impact effects fixed
