GAMEPLAY AND INVESTMENT
ARMOR

- Put. The toaster. Down.

ABILITIES

- Strand: Fixed an issue where the Thread of Generation Fragment would stop functioning after a Silkstrike Super deactivation when either the Shackle or Threadling Grenade is equipped.
POWER AND PROGRESSION

- Fixed an issue where only tier-4 or higher applied towards Rank progression.
