This patch introduces several balance adjustments primarily affecting Apollo and Celeste. Apollo's bullet damage growth has been increased, and a new effect has been added to their T2 Flawless Advance to enhance bullet resistance during specific actions. Celeste sees a reduction in air acceleration and a rescaling of bullet damage.

Troopers now gain lane-specific buffs upon shrine death, and shrine HP has been reduced. The Street Brawl mode sees global time slow at round end and improved spawn area movement. Several bug fixes are also included, such as improved zipline attach speed and corrected ability interactions for Quick Silver and Mercurial Magnum.
