Balance/Additions[/h2]

• Added Repairing and Shoveling Minigames - Express your skill by completing a simple minigame that lets you increase the speed at which you repair and shovel
  
• Small Reloading Rework - Now instead of always dropping the whole clip, the clip gets filled from the place you left it, but there is always a set reload time that needs to happen first
  
• Increased difficulty when playing in coop - Enemies are tougher and repairing and shoveling is slowed down (this is just a first pass on these, we will continue expanding and imroving coop difficulty in the future)
  
• Added icon that shows when enemies are sundered
  
• Charged shots now behave more consistently with other upgrades and get affected by rate of fire boosts
