This will allow the Disruptor to deal with infantry of all strengths.
==== Jackson ====
* Buff duration decreased to 8 from 10
Jackson was a bit too strong compared to others. This will bring him more in line

Lowering the suppressive fire that MG squads were applying
==== MLRS ====
* Cost decreased to 70 from 80
Just returning some of its lost power.

* Damage to Harvesters reduced to 295 from 396
* Health increased to 1650 from 1500
This will lower its harvester harassment while increasing its combat potential.
==== Pitbull ====
* Health reduced to 1650 from 1745
Slight tune down to this meta defining unit.
==== Predator Tank ====
* Damage to Infantry reduced to 96 from 105

Giving the Buggy a bit of love so it’s able to eliminate its adversaries a bit quicker.
