SAVE THE WORLD

This patch includes a reversion of the Critical Chance re-balance done in the v3.2 update, and a pass to fix bugs and balance problems with the stat caps.

GAMEPLAY
-Next chapter of Spring it On! unlocks - 'Luck of the Storm'.
-Battle lucky Husks, uncover treacherous treasures, track mythical spokescreatures, and brave springtime storm shenanigans!
-Quest rewards include an Epic Leprechaun Survivor + your choice of one of three ---Legendary St. Patrick's themed Heroes:
-Luck Demolisher Wildcat
-Highland Warrior Wildcat
-Battle Hound Jonesy
-Rebalanced Stat Caps.
-Party shared F.O.R.T. stat caps have been reverted to their old balance relative to the personal F.O.R.T. stat caps.
-One high-level friend can share enough F.O.R.T. stats to boost your duo to the 4-player balance point, if they are far enough above your level.
-F.O.R.T. stat caps in Stonewood have been reverted to the end-of-zone threshold.
-F.O.R.T. stat caps have increased across the other three locations.
-They begin being offset upwards in mid-Plankerton, and this offset increases at higher difficulties.
-These caps are now at or above the caps present at launch:
-In the top 2 difficulties of Plankerton.
-In the top 3 difficulties of Canny Valley.
-In the top 4 difficulties of Twine Peaks.
-Weapon level caps have been increased to match character level caps.
-Increased starting cap from 12 to 20.
-Caps increase in increments of 10 until they reach 50.
-The points where Weapon and Character level caps increase has been moved a few difficulties earlier.
-Set base Weapon Skill to 50 for all heroes.
-This allows low-level players to effectively use high-level guns while playing in high-level areas.
-As a result of this change the Weapon Skill skill tree nodes no longer function. We will replace or remove these nodes in a future patch.
Bug Fixes
-Stat caps for Storm Shield Defenses were lower than intended and have been raised to their intended levels (equivalent to end-of-zone missions).

WEAPONS + ITEMS
-Critical Chance weapon and trap perks increased from 11.5% / 16.5% / 21% to 14% / 21% / 28%.
