Shadowrun Returns Patch 1.0.2 Released

The folks at Harebrained Schemes have released a new patch for Shadowrun Returns, which features a bunch of gameplay fixes, and balance and usability improvements. Say goodbye to Kneecap being the de-facto standard attack for every sane user of shotguns:

New Features, Improvements
– SMG: Aimed Shot now uses 4 bullets, down from 6.
– SMG: Spray and Pray now uses 6 bullets, down from 8.

– Shotgun: Kneecap now has a HP DMG penalty of -6, up from -3. It now has a -5% accuracy penalty, and a cooldown of 3.
– Shotgun: All shotguns have had their accuracy falloff increased slightly, lowering hit chance at long ranges.
– Rifle: Full Auto’s accuracy penalty was not being applied properly at high skill levels. It should now always be 15% lower than a single shot’s percentage to hit.
