• Resolved a null pointer error that causing crashes.

• Powerkill reward for successful parry reduced;
• Parry pushes enemies backwards, if the enemy hits something while being pushed backwards they will take damage;
• Small powerkill reward when damage is dealt this way;
• Small powerkill reward when an enemy is killed this way;
• Weapon upgrade – shotgun grenade upgrades have been replaced with cluster grenades;
• New level – E3 now contains a new level between the citadel and the tower defence section.

New ability: Ground pound
• Crouching in the air causes the player's horizontal momentum to stop and they fall quickly to the ground;
• Does not deal damage, this is only a movement tool.

New Augments:
• Poison spread – killing a poisoned enemy poisons other nearby enemies;
• Ice chill – same behavior as the poison spread but with the ice effect;
• Augment synergy – performing a powerkill recharges a dash charge

• Power-dash – dashing into an enemy pushes them backwards just like the melee parry
→ large enemies and enemies with shields cannot be pushed and dashing into them causes the player to bounce off;
→ dashing into an enemy while crouch sliding or shortly after crouch sliding pushed them farther back and deals more damage when they hit something

• Ground Pound Attack – same as the standard ground pound but will create a damaging shockwave when the player lands
→ if the shockwave damages an enemy this uses 1 and only 1 dash charge;
→ shockwave can damage destructible objects but doing so does not consume ammo;
→ shockwave cannot activate shootable switches;
→ if the player does not have enough dash charges, is very close to the ground, or has not been in the air for a long enough time the player will not perform a ground pound attack and will instead do a standard ground pound.
