Sentry update

Hello everyone,

Versus has updated to version 1.13. You can build a new type of sentrygun! The MK19 Grenade Sentry.
This gun has a slower firing rate than the normal sentry but 5x more killing power, firing explosive grenades. It should kill any regular enemy in one hit and is very effective against bosses when in a group of 3 or more.

To allow for more sentrygun types with different weapon mounts to be added, there are some small changes:

Sentry guns can now be reloaded at any time (outside build phase), not just when they are empty. But the reload speed varies according to the type of gun. The regular sentry reloads in a second, the MK19 sentry takes 2.5 seconds to reload. Other sentry guns will have different reload speeds.

Remember when you build a sentry gun: try to place any type of 'decoy' barricade nearby (for example a barrel) so that you have less chance of a boss targeting and destroying that sentry.

Also:

Added female soundfx for the Sniper class

Fixed a bug where you could (sometimes) not buy or build if you joined a game in progress

What am I working on now/what's coming next:

Electric fences

Perk Group icons

Shotgun sentry (wide-angle fire)

A new machine gun weapon
