Gameplay
Becoming immune to fall damage while not in power armor now always prevents the stagger animation.
All Cryo damage now has a unified effect that slows the target and drains Action Points. This effect scales up the more Cryo damage the target takes and recovers over time when the target isn’t taking Cryo damage. Cryo resistance also plays a role in how quickly the status effect is built up and recovers. Weapons and effects that caused a slowing effect now deal Cryo damage instead.
