Hunt: Showdown Dev Tracker

We added one more item to the notes that was missed yesterday:

Slugs ammo:

-Slightly reduced the damage dealt to the lower torso from Slug rounds.

New Weapon Variant:

-Winfield Centennial Sniper

3 Year Anniversary Weapon Skin Contest Winner:

-“Bears Tooth” Legendary Mosin Nagant M1891
-Added for 0 Blood Bonds (just claim it in the store!) 😍

New Custom Ammo:

-Penny Shot: Rival 78, Specter 1882
-Explosive: Caldwell Uppercut
-Slug: Winfield 1887 Terminus, C&K Auto-5
-FMJ: Sparks LRR

Anti-Crouch Spam:

-Hunters will now briefly suffer a movement speed penalty if they crouch too many times in a very short space of time.

-Spacing the crouches to every other second will not trigger this penalty.

Bolt action logic:

-We have made some changes to the reload logic tied to some of our Bolt-action Weapons.

-Lebel and Mosin would usually lose a bullet when reloading (if you do not have the Bulletgrubber trait). Now, you will no longer lose the bullet if you reload right

Consistency pass to all medium and short-barrel shotguns:

-Adjustments made to make these weapons more reliable and less prone to encounter odd RNG behavior at longer ranges.
-Changes do not apply to the Romero Handcannon and Romero Hatchet.

Dum-Dum (Nitro Express) Ammo Changes:

-Increased the OHK range for the Nitro express Dum-Dum with Upper torso shots (extended kill range of 15m).

Flechette Ammo changes:

-Can now one-hit-kill (OHK) if enough pellets connect with the head (9m for long/medium barrel shotguns, 8m for small barrel).

Update highlights -
Crown & King Auto-5 balance pass:

-Increased sway when aiming down sights.
-Slightly reduced rate of fire (but not too much to reduce its semi-auto feel).
