Designer Notes :

The Frost Fang was overperforming, so we made some adjustments to slightly restrict its power. Even so, with these changes we tried not to affect the good feeling and satisfaction that this weapon currently has. Before, it could freeze big Zeds with only one shot and now two shots will be needed. The price was also increased, to a more fair value regarding the gameplay possibilities the Frost Fang offer.

The HRG Vampire, on the other hand, was in a point slightly too weak than what we intended, so we made some adjustments to boost its performance. We increased the damage and healing capacity of the blood ball explosions and reduced the price per magazine. We also reduced the secondary ammo cost of alt-fire, letting to stock 5 instead of 4 projectiles at maximum. Finally, we tuned the trail FX of the alt-fire projectiles to improve their visibility.

We also tuned the new damage bonus of the Gunslinger's Steady perk skill, to make it more noticeable, but without giving the perk an unfair damage bonus that may cause the Gunslinger to overperform other perks by much.
