TWEAKS

-Simplified DPS readouts
-Mass Upgrade: Hold shift when pushing upgrade buttons to upgrade the same property on as many other turrets as possible.
-Vortex bomb no longer bounces around. It will deploy exactly where you cast it. Vortex artifacts will have similar behaviour (no bouncing).

-Tiny text tweaks.
-Edits to text in non-English languages.

BIG STUFF
-Increased base wave cred value from 10 to 12. I know this doesn’t sound like much, but that value stacks up each wave up to wave 30. This should “slightly” reduce the overall difficulty across the board.

-Passive health regeneration for Brian has increased by 25%
-Can no longer detonate bombs during setup phase.
-Multi-shot artifact for Ranger will shoot 4 bullets. Up from 3.

ENDLESS MODE
-Endless mode no longer aggressively scales in difficulty, allowing players to get much further into it. To counter artifact farming in early maps, each map will have its own XP / Score rate value, instead of the flat 20%. The first 3 maps are limited to 10% XP / Score rate in endless and this value will increase as the maps get more difficult. Maps at the mid point onward have 30%. This is a pretty big change and will likely require further tuning and tweaks.

TURRETS
-Toxic launcher min range reduced to 2.5 from 3.

MAPS
