**Highlights:** Grenade Additions, Helmets

**Combat and Balance Changes:**
All 'Volatile Orb' items have been renamed to simply have a 'Grenade' suffix
All Grenades items now throw faster, and have better recoveries
All Grenades have had weight and stamina cost adjustments based off their effectiveness, their short descriptions will detail stamina costs:
A light orb - 10 light / 15 heavy (Reserved for combat orbs like shrapnel and concussive)
A medium orb - 20 light / 25 heavy (Reserved for utility orbs like smoke and gas)
A heavy orb - 30 light / 35 heavy (Reserved for big utility effect orbs like siege damage and healing)
A very heavy orb - 99 light / 99 heavy (Reserved for things not meant to be spammed like voice orbs)
Grenades now stack to 25, from 10
It is now possible to dual wield Grenades by using any mainhand Grenade with the Offhand Burst Grenade. They also combo. Infinitely, with Offhand > Light or Heavy then Light / Heavy > Offhand (or the other way around)

Ultra Greatsword will now combo into it's Offhand attack for the first 3 lights or heavies. It is still considered a finisher still and has no followup.

**Highmane's Arsenal Update 1.5.5**
**Highlights:**

**Combat and Balance Changes:**
New Weapon Type - the Ultra Greatsword
Featuring a 4 hit-chain light and heavy combos that break any and all guards unfortunate enough to be in their way, an offhand attack, and 3 sprint attacks, the Ultra Greatsword is an extremely powerful and weighty weapon made for those who don't mind taking a hit to deliver one much bigger. You'll find this weapon has great hyper armor coverage and very high damage, but with a very slow weapon speed to match. While it's reach keeps it reasonably effective even against moving targets, it's extreme weight tires out the wielder quickly and it's slow speed leaves users open to counter attacks, especially from longer weapon types. The Heavy Sprint attack has the unique ability to send your enemies flying away with a legendary golf swing, and the offhand move, although slow, can knockdown any target it strikes if they're not in a hyper armor state.

Greataxe Chop has received combo support - after a chop, you can chain into your 3rd light, 3rd heavy, or a new offhand move that applies sunder and knocks down enemies
Greataxe Heavies now apply status afflictions - Heavy 1 Bleeds, Heavy 2 Bleeds, Heavy 3 Cripples, Heavy 4 Sunders (formerly, none of them applied anything)
Greataxe Heavy 3, Light 3, and Light 4 no longer chain to offhand attack to prevent an infinite combo
Greataxe Opener Light had an adjustment made so it will accept combo inputs sooner (slightly before the actual swing) instead of on a weird timing after the swing
Greataxe Sprint attacks now correctly chain into light 2 rather than light 3

**Highlights:** Shortsword Moveset Buff, Offhand Axe Moveset Buffs, Fighting Gloves, Deco Dismantling

**Combat and Balance Changes:**
Shortsword Rework:
Shortsword now chains directly into it's offhand attack from mid-chain (due to how funcom handles offhand attacks on one-handed weapons, to 'initialize' this accessibility, you need to be using left bone knuckles OR offhand once from neutral to initialize that you are 'holding' an offhand fist.)
Shortsword heavies are now around 15-20% faster
Shortsword Flurry Finisher now has a much improved walkout time, and has a shorter queue window so you don't accidentally attack again after finishing your flurry
