Hotfix for Clean Cut update + legendary affixes for Sewing Scissors & Giant Comb

Hey everyone!

We've just released a hotfix to address some bugs we missed in the Clean Cut update, so this will be a short post. It's also late on a hot Thursday afternoon, so my energy levels aren't high enough for a long one...

There are now legendary affixes for both new weapons that we introduced:
Giant Comb: Also deals critical damage while you are airborne. Deals additional damage if both you and the target are airborne.
Sewing Scissors: Enemies killed by the special effect of this weapon count three times for your kill streak.

We also identified a critical bug where by fixing it has removed unlocks that were incorrectly awarded to players. So some of you might notice some slight rollbacks on features related to biome visits that you didn't unlock (for example, having access to bosses in Boss Rush that you hadn't actually encountered before). But you shouldn't have had access in the first place, so just be happy for the time you had together </3

Full patch notes will come shortly in the usual place!

Cheers,
Matt, EE & MT
