GAMEPLAY
� People, mutants and birds are ripped apart if not in shelter during emissions.

� New screen shake effects when firing a weapon (resembling recoil shock/shake effects). This effect varies depending on the caliber fired and your choice of USS class.

which makes it easier for your eyes to focus on your surroundings in low-light conditions.
