harpoon damage is increased 30%
picks up power ups from farther away
harpoon's range has been reduced about 20%
filament and unaaq require about 40% more ammo for the same effect
harpoon density lowers when it retracts
so it doesn't do as much damage on retracting
more bug fixes
tech: toggling harpoon - after picking up a power up with the harpoon, your next harpoon is 7x more dense
this probably needs to be balanced in the next patch

tech: cache - ammo power ups give 11x ammo, but you can't hold over 11x ammo
harpoon
grabs 1 power up on the way out, or in
harpooned power ups are predictable
they attach to the harpoon instead of using physics to move towards player
bugs fixes
lasers were broke, but I fixed them
gun alt fire is determined by the down key not the player crouch state
(so you can control alt fire when in the air or stuck in a tunnel)
I did this with text replace, so it could produce some bugs
harpoon
automatically uses power ups that return to player
will aim at harder to hit targets, and possible miss
returns extra fast if it is far from the player
bullets last a bit longer so they don't despawn early
cd on miss fire lowered to 1.5s (was 3s)
bugs fixes
