Bugs and issues:

- Please report any problems on NexusMods in comments section.

- Rare visual bugs with skybox and weapons can occur when too many AI are alive. I have minimized this as much as I could, but I don't want less enemy AI.
- Projectiles may occasionally vanish during the start of the double scarab fight on 'Covenant' due to too many projectiles firing.
- A shade turret on 'Covenant' has a clipping issue.
