Added: Holding “X” now opens the shop
Added: Shelter Store notification window
Added: A more specific description of Boosters
Added: A waiting time to check all of the max players are ready in the lobby
Added: Infinite cycle of all shop items (should be once for every item which is not owned already)
Tweaked: Set correct rarities for the facepaint bundles

Modified: The Animation Character so that the heavy machine gun stance doesn’t mess up some of the transition animations
Modified: The jiggle physics by tweaking the physics body and constraints positions + their weight
Modified: The transition montages by adding notifies that should minimize the unnatural hand behavior when rapidly transitioning. The character still moves his left hand a little when transitioning crouch->stand->crouch with pistols, but that seems to be something a little bit different as it can’t be solved with the notifies added.

Modified: The Mosin Nagant and Scharfschützengewehr 82’s reload animation montage by adding a particle effect – ejection of the empty casing and added new particles for the bolt action rifles because the original ones initial velocity was too big, and in real life, the empty casings don’t fly that far from the bolt action rifles
Modified: The La Chiave 12 & KS-23 animations by smoothing out the parts that are playing in a loop so that they are more symmetrical and less “choppy”. More modifications should be done in the future

Modified: Some of the gesture animations by adding smaller/simple facial movements so that they don’t look that robotic
Modified: The Human Animation Collection by adding one new field to the struct in the vertical category for the crouch jump start. And then modified the function that returns the correct jump animation, so that it now has another argument for the current stance
Modified: Animation blueprint character by slightly lowering the MAX pushback value when coming too close to an obstacle
