Fungrades 2024 - 2.5.0 - Melee Mode
This weeks update adds a new melee counter perk, along with some other melee targeted changes and a new panic perk!

- Fixes & Changes -
Safeguarding
Several changes have already been implemented to address the initial 'imbalanced' stat changes, this will now be more accurate depending on the Prestige Level and Player Level differences.
Bots have now been excluded from the feature due to having their own stat modifications already in place.
Bleed / Lifesteal
Applying a single stack of bleed should feel more rewarding than it currently does, but not to the point in which it renders bleed resistance and melee builds useless.
Therefore, Bleed has been slightly re-buffed at a single stack against life steal, providing slightly more life steal reduction for the first bleed stack applied. While this won’t significantly impact higher-ranked zombies that already apply multiple stacks, it will provide a much greater reward for newer players who may be struggling to inflict multiple stacks of bleed due to the resistance update.
This change will not change the upgrade power bleed upgrades currently provides in different areas ( Damage, Ticks etc )
