Bugfixes
SCP-RP Jobs- Fixed DEA Agent, Operative and Senior Agent not having assigned headbox multipliers
- Fixed Combat Medic not having assigned headbox multiplier
- Changed reload logic to be predicted, which should fix occurrences of a bug that caused weapon reload animations to randomly play
- Fixed spoilers not working as intended
- Fixed the suits not exploding on death by adding a fallback ragdoll. If there are still issues let me know.
- Fixed Blast Damage on Vehicles doing massive damage to Tracked Vehicles and Vehicles with lots of wheels
- Basically, Damage Dealt to Wheels of LVS Vehicles gets forwarded to the parent vehicle as well as being dealt to the wheels. This means shooting a vehicles wheel will damage the wheel and the main body of the vehicle.
- HOWEVER, it does not account for blast damage. If a grenade blows up underneath a LAV-25, every single one of its 8 wheels will forward the damage to the main body, and it will take 9 instances of the same explosive damage.
- I have made it so Explosive Damage does not get forwarded from wheels to the main vehicle, fixing this bug.
- Fixed Saints Serum disappearing from inventories
- Fix for PAC multi bonemerged designs from causing player extras (holstered weapons, bodycam, weapon switch model, etc...) to be rendered multiple times
- Fix PAC designs with bonemerged playermodels from becoming broken when holstered weapons are visible
- Fixed the "Tutor" and "Professor" achievements not being granted despite lecture attendee requirements being met
Rule Changes

Updated 1.13 Realistic Equipment Use to remove all mentions of Yellow Suits due to the Suit rules agreed upon by SSL, There are still rules around them enforceable by staff that has been pinned in GOC Announcements.
