=== General ===
* Soul Orbs no longer have special duplication rules before 8 minutes. Soul splitting rules are now the same before 8 minutes as afterwards. Adjusted [[trooper]] economy to compensate. There is also no longer a bounty bump that occurs at 8 minutes.

* [[Guardian]]s attack range reduced from 38.1m to 35m
* Guardians melee attempt range reduced from 6.1m to 5m

* Medic Trooper: Fixed healing sometimes not functioning on bounce when there are walls nearby

* [[Soul Urn|Urn]] now reveals you immediately
* First urn is now considered for comeback mechanics (15% NW delta)

=== Trooper AI Fixes ===
* Melee troopers will no longer see and follow players around corners and through veils
