 :911: Happy Liberty Day! :911:

New content:
- Added the M2016 ‘Constitution’, a bolt action rifle used for ceremonial purposes. While not recommended to bring into the field, it is certainly possible to use for the very skilled or the very brave.
- Added the Liberty cape in celebration of Liberty Day!
- Added the Community cape, can be presented by the developers to outstanding individuals in the community.
- Added the Developer cape, now you can recognize the devs in the wild.

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where you regained sprint stamina while meleeing. The sprint-melee spam technique should no longer work.
- Fixed an issue where the convoy objective would travel into an obelisk wall before it was formed causing it to be destroyed instantly. Walls should now stop before hitting the convoy just like other objectives.
- Fixed an issue with a white rectangle flickering in the character customization screen.
- Fixed the statistic bars of the AT-47 to better represent the actual upgrades.

Balance changes:
- The AT-47 now has 5 less ammunition without upgrades and 10 more when upgraded with Mk3. The result is that a fully upgraded AT-47 will have 5 more shots than before.
- The LAS-13 ‘Trident’ has had its damage lowered, it was overperforming previously.
- The LAS-16 ‘Sickle’ has had it’s damage lowered very slightly.

The new gun is fun, but very punishing if you don't land every shot due to slow refire and reload speeds. The cape looks nice!

 That WWI gun looks incredibly impractical. Challenge accepted.

 So you might think the new gun has a cripplingly small magazine. You'd be wrong because it fires only very slightly faster than it reloads. It's basically a Camper that trades burst DPS for never ever stopping its fire rate. And real damage for AP. It's really bad against bugs. And I'm not sold on it versus Illuminates unless you've got someone bringing a dedicated shield stripping weapon (I mean the flamethrower). Cyborgs, I'm actually cautiously optimistic about.

Glad to see they fixed the melee sprint bug. Now if only they could balance Cardio right out of the game.
