Update 1.2 Patch 2

#### Butcher:

* Decreased the butchers resistance to explosive damage. It can now be killed with a single BIg dynamite bundle as before.

### Gunplay

#### Knuckle Knife:

* Increased the damage of the Knuckle Knife's normal attack from 31 to 45.
* Slighty increased the stamina consumption of the Knuckle Knife for normal attack.
* Slightly increased the damage of the Knuckle Knife heavy attack against the hive to allow 1 hit kills when striking the head.

#### Machete:

* Decreased stamina consumption on the Machete's heavy attacks slightly (will now perform 5 heavy melee attacks up from 4; that's 2 more than the heavy knife and one more than a Hatchet, giving a standalone Machete an advantage in economy).

#### Cavalry Saber:

* Decreased stamina consumption on the Cavalry Saber's heavy attacks slightly (will now perform 5 heavy melee attacks up from 4 and one more than a Riposte, giving a standalone Saber an advantage in economy).

#### Sticky Bomb:

* Changed the damage type from explosion to rending which with cause bleeding damage.

**Developer Note:**
*In order to provide more viable options, all bosses can now be killed with 1 Big Dynamite Bundle (again) or 1 Sticky Bomb. The Sticky Bomb will still not kill the Assassin in his Insect form. During the bosses frenzy, damage recieved will still only be 50%.*

#### Bornheim No.3:

* Slightly increased the recoil to make it harder to stay on target while rapidly firing.

#### Bornheim No.3 Extended:

* Slightly increased the recoil to make it harder to stay on target while rapidly firing.

### Performance

*For those of you that were experiencing a decrease in performance on the test server in comparison to live, please make sure to let us know if continue to encounter these isseus.*
