Hey all!
This version buffs common syringe mutations, to reduce the relative power gap between commons and legendaries.
Previously, common skills had mutations which were only 25% as strong as legendary skills. For example, Smoke Bomb would drop 1/2/3/4 med kits (1 = common, 2 = rare, 3 = epic, 4 = legendary).
Now Smoke Bomb drops 2/3/4/5 med kits. Almost every skill has been buffed like this. Force Fields now do 20/30/40/50 damage instead of 10/20/30/40. Vampirism now heals 40/60/80/100% of non-bullet damage instead of 20/40/60/80%, etc.
So every skill got stronger this version. But most importantly, commons are now 40% as strong as legendaries, instead of only 25%. Because the pattern is now 40%/60%/80%/100% instead of 25%/50%/75%/100%.
This should help new players, and make drafting common skills more viable as their mutations have become 2x stronger than before.
Have fun!
