This will allow the Disruptor to deal with infantry of all strengths.

Just returning some of its lost power.

Mohawk

Slight tune down to this meta defining unit.

Predator Tank

 * Damage to Infantry reduced to 96 from 105

This is to fix a training issue.

Giving the Rhino bit of love so it’s able to eliminate its adversaries a bit quicker.

Giving the Buggy a bit of love so it’s able to eliminate its adversaries a bit quicker.
