BALANCE WEAPON BALANCE

• Gravity Hammer: attack speed reduced by 15% (swing interval increased from 0.9s to 1.035s) — was dominating close-range encounters
• Photon Lance: charge time increased from 1.4s to 1.8s to better reflect its high single-shot damage output
• Nova Grenade: blast radius reduced by 10% (from 8m to 7.2m) to create a clearer trade-off versus standard launchers
• Arc Whip: chain lightning range reduced from 12m to 9m to prevent unintended multi-room clearing
• Pulse Disruptor: EMP stun duration against elite enemies reduced from 3s to 2s
• Thermal Shotgun: base damage per pellet increased from 18 to 20 to improve competitiveness at close range
• Ion Blaster: ammo reserve increased from 120 to 150 to support its new role as a sustained-fire sidearm
