Balance

 * NSX Tengu
 * Magazine size from 18 to 20
 * Ammo capacity from 126 to 140
 * Hipfire Standing CoF from 1.75 to 1
 * Hipfire Crouching CoF from 1.75 to 1
 * Hipfire Walking CoF from 2 to 1.5
 * Hipfire CrouchWalking from 1.75 to 1.25
 * Hipfire pellet spread from 3.5 to 3

Dev note: While the aim down sights on this weapon is fairly competitive, the hipfire function was performing below expectations. Buffs to cone of fire attributes extend the range at which hipfire can be used, and the suppressor values now fall in line with that of other SMGs. Default magazine improvement of two rounds offers a bit more forgiveness against higher health targets, without stepping on the toes of other SMGs.

Known Issues

 * Koltyr shows in the map continent rotation, this issue is still being addressed.
