- Adjusted the weapon frame of the CRSPR Flamethrower

- Reduced the amount of heat required to ignite gas clouds so that the Scout’s Boomstick can ignite them in one shot

- Fixed bug where the puddle bonuses from upgrades would expire faster than the base DoT and slowdown effects (they now all expire at the longer base time)
