      • Now uses the non-boss demo model for faster run animation
      • Sword: Charge time increased from 300% to 400%
    • SolarLight has been in a weird spot where he wasn't really good as a clean demoman, and wasn't really good as a demoknight, with the change to his health and speed, he should be in a unique spot to be able to do both roles better, without overshadowing the pure grenade robots or the melee robots

  • Mortar Mack

    • Changed:
      • Increased clip size from 18 to 20

  • Hypescout

    • Changed:
      • Reduced starting clip bonus from 6 to 2
      • This change is to give Artillery a bit of a rolling start, where he's not as strong when he spawns, but becomes stronger the longer he stays alive. He's a bit stronger than before late game, but a lot weaker in the early game

      • Airstrike On Kill Clip bonus

      • This robot is an exaggerated version of SolarLight's initial design Iron Bomber, where he is slow, very tanky and small range, but lethal at that low range. Being the opposite of Mortar Mack's mid-range explosive one shot style

Backend

  • Multi Building Attribute

    • Fixed a bug (hopefully), where buildings sometimes wouldn't show up on the HUD of the Engineer.

  • Self Boost on Hit Attribute

    • Added an option clamp to prevent weapons that have multiple hits from stacking and giving turbo launch power
