The release build is now available with all previous Beta fixes/updates, along with these changes:

ADDED
⦁ New firearms! Introducing the ND-2000 and NM46 (plus shock variant) smgs, AN74b and Eraser rifles, and the Model 23 Surplus pistol. Plus, a new line of Cryo-Gun weapons and an Acid Blaster at the Arena Blackmarket vendor!
⦁ Threw some holiday lights up in the Crackpot boss room to give the whole place just a friendlier vibe 🙂

FIXED
⦁ Hair was still showing through some background characters' hats, and in some cases, wasn't showing at all when it should (such as when wearing a radio headset or a headband).
⦁ A ramp ledge in the Base Jumping stage was allowing enemies to leap off the ramp and stand up on top of some scenery, where shooting them was very difficult.
⦁ The end credits for Story Campaign had a MERC Sniper whose hat loved to change color randomly.
⦁ A "do not teleport here" area blocker in the Crackpot boss room would make characters look like they're floating.

TWEAKED
⦁ Retiring a controller now only takes Right+Left Bumpers to be down when pressing Start. The Back button was getting intercepted by Steam during remote play, which prevents players from quitting.
⦁ You can also retire a joystick/controller by clicking on it in the Pause menu.
