Added: - improved handgun throw (perk): keep throw key pressed (V) to charge throw power, then press mouse 1 or 2 to throw left / right handgun as before, or just let the power bar to reach max power to throw both guns simultaneously. Impact damage is proportional to throw force. Power meter and weapon 'charging' animation added
- weapon drop simplified: just press drop key (V) for single weapon drops. Dual wield still requires V + mouse 1 or 2 to drop left/right guns.
- easier weapon pickup/replacement: unloaded handguns are dropped automatically when a reloaded one of same type is picked up (player already owns 2 of that type).
Balanced: - handgun throw: hit damage decreased (-30% aprox.), notoriety reward increased (+50% vs normal kill from a given gun)
- pump shotgun: slightly higher range
Changed: - [Break Bad] Jailed players receive 3 seconds of invulnerability to prevent other players target them by mistake (the jail-chain-reaction effect)
Fixed: - muzzle flash light causing bigger performance impact than it should
- thrown weapon colliding with thrower player sometimes
