RE: Balance: Update 0.24.1

Hello, everyone!

In the new RE: Balance, we’ve buffed some of the not-so-popular operators to bring them back into the action. We’ve added the auto-fire upgrade for Bard, completely reworked Sztylet’s firing, and made Corsair, Starkaðr, and Martelo’s firing more comfortable.

You can find the complete list of changes in this article.
