Beta 4 Hotfix 1:

- Nerfed Fireblaster, damage was too high for its speed (30/60 → 10/20), to compensate for the dramatic alt projectile nerf, its embers now deal short radius splash damage.
- Nerfed Impaler altfire, no longer an instant "I win" weapon (damage interval raised from 5 to 15 tics, also beam becomes weaker at low charge, starting to drop from 100% at half-charge to 50% at zero charge).
- Fixed Impaler crash when shooter dies while firing beam.
- Updated the reload code of the SMP, I forgot about it.
- Increased the Detector range again, 1024 is more reasonable.
- Fixed Minigun altfire not triggering if player was holding primary fire.
- Removed pistols from Super Shotgun replacement pool.
- Increased spawn chance of Flamethrower, since it almost never appears in practice.
- Capped maximum Flamethrower damage (75 → 20), this was way too high and made the weapon too overpowered.
