Update Notes[]
- Shrapnel completely reworked to increase Armor Penetration per rank
- "Shrapnel has been commonly viewed as the single-most useless skill in the entire cannon skill menu. This buff removes the original effect (Wound damage on grenades and cannons) to instead increase cannon and broadside damage to enemy armor panels. A solid buff of 30% at Rank 5 to SvS and SvE all-around." - Update 3-14-2021 tlopo-pyp-v1.4.0-part1
