New Content:

I know updates with only bug fixes and balance changes are kind of dull, so I thought I'd throw in some new goodies for everybody. These should help for people that just want a little bit more Loadout Points!

• Added Health AntiChip item: A passive item that gives you 1 LP at the cost of -1 maximum health.
• Added Move Speed AntiChip item: A passive item that gives you 1 LP at the cost of -10% move speed.
