Tactical Beta

• Put a PISTOL in both your main and swap slots, and fire both of them when you attack. Dual wield!
  
• RIFLE will automatically return fire once per turn if the away team is in cover.
  
• SNIPER gives +1 vision range but now has a 50% chance to miss at close range (1-2 tiles)
  
• CLOUDGUN provides protection against whatever element it shoots: flamethrower = walk through fire. nano-cloud = safe from nano, etc.
  
• LAUNCHER now shoots further but has less damage mods available.
  
• KNIFE now attacks all hostile creatures adjacent to the space you move into. Doesn't work when waiting.
  
• SWORD now has a 33% chance to parry a melee attack, negating all damage and other effects.
  
• HAMMER now also permanently slows a target, in addition to its knockback.
  
• ZAPPER now hits all creatures around the one you attack. This is the effect of the energy hitting a large area and does NOT discriminate between friend or foe, so be aware. Does not hit you.
