Patch Notes v1-6-1946

==General==
Five new cosmetics are now available in the Red Bean store for PvP Battle Tokens. PvP Battle Tokens are earned by playing Jetball.
===Battleframes and Combat===
Creeping Death now has a fixed range. There was a bug where the radius was not actually increasing and only damaging enemies within 1 meter of its point of origin. The decision was made to give it a fixed range so it may deal its damage at its full area of effect immediately.
Open World
Reduced the maximum number of wandering encounters in Sertao, but increased their spawn rate.
Reduced the amount of ambient NPCs that are spawned in Sertao
Note: Both of these actions were taken to reduce NPC counts in the world at a time which should reduce the issues with critical NPCs not spawning (ex. NPCs related to ARES Job objectives).
==Bug Fixes==
===Battleframes and Combat===
Fixed a bug where the Bastion's Mine Launcher was not repairing Deployable Shield.
Fixed a bug where the Arcing Bolts perk was doing too little damage.
Sure Shot should now appropriately increase rate of fire (it was previously decreasing rate of fire).
Invigorate should now appropriately increase rate of fire (it was previously decreasing rate of fire).
===Open World===
