ammo capacity of four shells.

- tweak: Resonator fields now visually show how long they have until they burst.
- bugfix: Hitting a legion skull with a resonator will now produce a field.

tiles, for normal/advanced plasma cutters, respectively.

will not spawn.

that they can increase by spraying (and protecting) their tags and new influence-enhancing
bling.

by any gang member. They will increase the wearer's influence and provide protection,
but will make it fairly obvious which gang you belong to.

that is very bulky and has a very low rate of fire. Gang members can buy this
gun for just 8 influence.
- rscadd: Gangs have access to the new machine gun turret; it unleashes a volley
of bullets with an extended view range. It does not run out of ammo, but a significant
delay between volleys and its stationary nature leaves the gunner vulnerable
to flanking and return fire. Holding down the trigger will allow you to aim
the gun while firing. It will cost gangs 50 influence.
- rscadd: The sawn-off improvised shotgun is now available to gangs for 6 influence.
With buckshot shells being easy to produce or purchase, this gun gives the most
"bang for your buck" but its single-shell capacity will leave you vulnerable
during a pitched gunfight.

bomb damage
