-No damage period extended when stacking this ability

Special Gauge changes
Kensa Nozzelnose: 190 -> 180

-On Polaris, platforms by some railings reduced and can take damage from Salmonids while on rails
-On Polaris, some rails' endpoints have been lowered and can now be hit by Grillers (it was possible to lure a Griller targeting you by riding a rail and then jumping off the rail to the next, preventing you from ever taking damage. This has been removed now)
-Fixed an issue preventing Steelheads from attacking when near crewmembers.
Kensa Collection 4
52 Gal / Splash Shield / Booyah Bomb (the ugliest gun I've seen in my life)
Glooga Dualies / Fizzy Bomb / Ink Armor
Mini Splatling / Toxic Mist / Ultra Stamp
Rapid Blaster / Torpedo / Baller (Fucking hell, this thing is going to be a monster among monsters)
No mention of what Main Power Up does from what I can see. Awesome...
So I'll never get to try Fizzy Bomb then since I hate every weapon that got it, and I'll try the Stamp out with the Mini Splatling but put it down after I remember, "Oh right, this special is garbage!". That Rapid Blaster is going to be hell. Pure, fucking, hell. It's going to single-handedly cause the Torpedo to be nerfed into the ground next balance patch with how good it's going to be with a freaking BLASTER and a baller to save it if someone gets too close. Holy shit this kit is gross and wrong and broken.
