Changes to shield drops, decreasd electrical penatly on health and increased penalty on radiation base damage

Hi Everyone

PTS was updated earlier today and is now unlocked.

As mentioned in the Twitch Livestream on Friday March 20th, we have enabled the next Defiance event in honour of our two year anniversary: "Armistice Day". This event enables four updated holidays events: Hulker Hell, New Frontier Harvests, Solstice Strike and Colony Courtship, along with contracts under the Defiant Few faction. Look for updated Defiant Few MKII weapons as well at the Defiant Few vendor in Coit Tower!

More details to follow!

Updated shields coming from drops and lock boxes so they’ll only drop the most effective shields within the rarity tier. For example, all random legendary shields will either be IV EX or V ARK shields.
Corrected a problem that was causing some Legendary shields that should have had an electrical resist to not display it.
Increased the Legendary survivor shield effect to match the description of +20% self-revive refresh.
Corrected the description for Legendary Energizer shields to match the actual effect: +15% EGO Power refresh.
Fix for Salvage Matrix menu options disappearing after doing enough actions without closing the menu in-between
Reduced the charge required to unlock abilities in legendary rigs.
Updated the VBI LM-12 Rocker to allow for quicker bursts, improved accuracy, and lower recoil.
Increased the penalty for base damage on radiation nano weapons from 5% to 10% to match other nano types.
Decreased the penalty for health damage on electrical nano weapons from 50% to 25%.
