Hey everyone!
This patch should balance out the new holds as well as a couple of maps. I am still working on balancing so I will be monitoring how these changes affect everyone.
Regarding achievements, I am not looking to implement additional Steam Achievements as they would be locked behind purchasing the DLC.
I am not opposed to creating more in-game achievements though, so I will be looking into that.
Remember, if you are struggling on the holds, chalk should help quite a bit.
