• Assassin just has too much of everything, dodge, crit, headshot damage, pistol damage, critical damage, elite damage, 5° deviation off off all weapons, status effect damage and 40% luck, cant take more than 350 damage - thats just too much stats
  
• The new effect pushes more for dagger usage and is more engaging
  
  
• Assassin has 50 more shield, shield regen slowed down

• Demolisher and assassin max damage taken benefits are now higher in hyper adrenaline mode (450>1000, 350>900) as they basically break the game mode, (HA increases damage taken by 3x so this is still amazing value)
  
• Missile drone damage gain per recycling is now 5% - now shows damage bonus in tooltip
  

Weapons:

• Flamethrower damage was incorrectly way too high, still is far better than pre U24 now
