Version 1.0.2.1
NEW MAP | Firebase Dagger, 4th map
EXTRACTION UI IMPROVEMENT | Instead of showing the exact arrival time for the shuttle and the helicopter overwatch in minutes and seconds, they're now displayed in METERS which will go down until 0. The color of the meter and the numbers will change in color as the helis and shuttles closing in.
EARLY PRESTIGE SYSTEM | After you've reached the max level (50), you can choose to prestige. Prestige rewards will be implemented in a later update but you can prestige your character in advance and you will get all the rewards retroactively when the update drops. There's 5 prestige tiers. | 0 -> Survivor | 1 -> Veteran [I] | 2 -> Elite [II] | 3 -> Master [III] | 4 -> Legendary [IV] | Immortal [MAX]. You will KEEP all of your progress (Credits, Player Level, Collected resources, Difficulty Unlocks, etc) except your Survivor Rating. When you level up your "Veteran" or "Elite" or "Master" or "Legendary" or "Immortal" rating, each new prestige has a unique prestige level up sound instead of the original one. When you reach level 50 for the first time a new NPC will appear.

G.I Unit | Increased initial armor piece health on friendly mech units. Armor piece health will scale simultaneously now with the G.I unit HP when you buy "Killstreak Health" upgrades. This fixes the issue where, G.I Units would sometimes blow up too early because although it's health was high, the armor piece health values were too low

NEW MAP - Added Firebase White, the 2nd survival map
NEW FUNCTION - Semi-Controller Support | Killstreaks and other new actions added by SW3 now working with controller buttons as well. The only thing left to fix is the new terminals.

Use "Dpad_Down" to open the killstreak menu. If you buy some from the terminal, you will have to use this new menu to call them in
QOL- WarfareHQ | Added a new setting "Radar Display". You can switch between "Always-on" or "2 second delay". The intended and default behavior is the 2 second delay. However, if you want to make enemies visible in your radar real-time then you have the option to switch that.
