	+ Roar will cause players to poop but not stun them
	+ Rex's ability to climb over small rocks and steeper slopes have been improved.

### Patch Notes for v278

On the 10th of February, turrets will be hard-number limited to 100. This means that you will not be able to build over 100 turrets within a 10k unit radius, however existing set-ups with over 100 turrets will still function as normal until the 18th of February when we will enable the hard limit, which will retroactively disable (randomly selected) turrets that are over the 100 limit from functioning.

Here's the patch note for the turret changes when they land on the 18th:

* You can now enable the retroactive turret hard limit by enabling this setting in your game.ini under ShooterGameMode:

`bHardLimitTurretsInRange=True`

This will work on autoturrets, heavy turrets, tek turrets, plant turrets and is no longer map specific. The hard limit calculation is done on start-up, so if your turrets are ever over the limit, they will be randomly shut-off until you're under the limit. In order to restore shut off turrets, you must pick up any which exceed the number, as well as shut-off turrets and replace them in order for them to work.
