Steam cloud saving is finally here! Rejoice in cross-device saving!

Huge Fix & Balance update!

Patch 1.20

Also, here's a huge patch address many of the existing issues, with a large amount of balance changes! (More fixes still to come!)

Additions

• New Outfit: God of Wealth, to celebrate the Spring Festival!
• Spring Festival theme added to Training map (however it is no longer the focus of daily missions)
• Added 24 more inventory slots, that's an extra 4 rows of items, woooooooooo!
• Added Steam's cloud saving

Changes

• Using the Slot Machine now greys out unclickable buttons for clarity
• Marathon feat now shows decimals to more easily track progress

Fixes

• Explosives no longer show 2 explosions when hitting something point blank
• Boss healthbars are shorter and should no longer cover weapon names

• Machete now can properly do Headshots
• Fixed Headshot dmg bonus on Vital Sight
• The challenge mission: Kevlar with a Vengeance, no longer stacks armor infinitely
• The weapon mod Damage while streak is active now works as intended (though it may not always display if the bonus is too low - Ex: 10.2 dmg will display as 10 dmg)

Balance

• Tanks now properly have half dash distance as they always should have (Melee desc re-written to explain that Assassins have more dash range)
• Tanks base health now boosted to 140 (from 130), to revert part of a previous nerf, now that they're less mobile
