UPDATE 17 - The Expansion and 23 Eco Dart Update

**[NEW ITEMS/MECHANICS]**
- 23mm Eco Darts are now available at Supply Level 3 and more at Level 5 with Ecologist traders
o Eco Darts are now fully craftable and now come in a box of 8 instead of 1
o Eco Darts are now the first and (*for now*) only ammo type to take advantage of **two** special effects: Varmageddon and Cloudkill
o To reflect their power, their price has increased from 5500 to 7500 (subject to change)
- The KS-23 Ecolog will now be available upon reaching Supply Level 3 with Ecologist traders such as Sahkarov
o Its damage is now buffed from 6 to 20, and its reload speed is now increased from 0.3x to 0.85x
o This allows it to be bearable against stalkers with good aim while also giving the player the feeling of needing to be carful with feeding the Dart w/o feeling like watching a PowerPoint presentation
- Any smaller or moderate-threat mutants will now die in *one shot* to a KS-23 Ecolog using the Eco Darts
o Pseudogiants and Chimeras will require more shots to kill (most efficient is landing headshots, going down at most to 2-3 shots to kill)
- "Expansion" has been changed:
o Humanoid/bipedal mutants (Burers, Controllers, Pseudogiants, Bloodsuckers, Psysuckers, Karliks, Fractures, Zombies) will receive the full Expansion bonus damage
o Non-humanoid/non-bipedal mutants will receive about 35% of the Expansion bonus damage (will also be listed in the tooltip)
o Full armor break/penetration on stalkers will still receive the full Expansion bonus

**[BALANCE CHANGES]**
- .357 FMJ Monolithic has had its special changed from "Fragmentation" at 50% chance to "Flinch/Stun" at 50% chance
- .357 HP has had its special changed from "Varmageddon" to "Fragmentation" at 30% chance
- 9x19 HP variant has had its special changed from "Varmageddon" to "Fragmentation" at 35% chance
- .45 Hydroshok has been given the special "Fragmentation" at 15% chance
- 5.45 HP variant (Soft Point) has had its base "Expansion" increased from 10% to 35%
- .300BLK FMJ variant (VMAX) has had its AP value increased from 0.20 to 0.25
- All 9x21 ammo has had their box size increase from 14 to 18 to match GAMMA's balance
- Fixed 20 gauge #3BK Buckshot to have the correct name and description

**[MISC CHANGES]**
- Revised the damage script to include support for a 2nd special effect if more ammo will ever get a 2nd effect
- Revised the ammo tooltip to show the new reduced Expansion bonus as well as the ability to show a 2nd special effect
