This week we introduce our 13th Pro: Wascot! Hopefully it doesn't exacerbate your Triskaidekaphobia.
Along with our new Pro we have some interesting game play changes. Regenitol, Juice and heal guns now put out fires. The classes that have more health now take longer to heal. We rebalanced all the endorsements so that you will hit the cap before stacking 25. This way mixing and matching will be a bigger part of the game. As normal, play with these new changes and provide feedback through the forums.
