  • Tommy Gun - Increased damage.
  • Tommy Gun - Increased while-firing movement speed.

  • RPG - Increased projectile range.
  • Frag Grenades - Reduced cooldown to 4 seconds.
  • Grenades (Frag, Tank Buster, TNT) - No longer "cook" when you hold them. Their fuse times are now always consistent once they are thrown, and they will no longer explode in your hand if held for too long.
  • Grenades - Adjusted throw force and arc to be more accurate when aiming and throwing onto different vertical levels
  • Squid Bowls - Now pop off of killed Squid soldier suits with much more force, which should help give them an initial boost of speed to get away from their killer.
  • Squid Bowls - Increased ground friction; Squids bowls now change direction at twice the rate as previously, although they are still fairly clumsy by design.
  • Squid Bowls - Increased air control multiplier.
  • Freeze Ray - Decreased movement speed while firing.
