Close combat with shotguns and jetpacks!WEAPONS AND ITEMS

- The chance to find Shadow Bomb in chests has been reduced from 4.65% to 3.98%.

- Since players often use Shadow Bombs late in the match, we decided to change the risk/benefit ratio of obtaining this item. We left the maximum supply the same, but reduced the chance of the bomb being spawned: its effectiveness was preserved, but saving space in the inventory for the shadow bomb in the early stages of the match became more risky.
- Semi-automatic sniperintro is back in the game
- Can be found in vending machines, chests and buildings.
- The Thermal Sight Rifle and the Scoped Revolver were recently retired, so we decided this week to bring back one old but cool weapon that's great for mid to long range combat.
