Data Reshaper: Decreased ammo count from 3 to 2

Glitch Grenade: Decreased the fuse time from 1.8s to 1.5s

Gravity Vortex: Increased the maximum duration of the vortex from 8s to 10s

Gravity Vortex: Increased the minimum duration of the vortex from 5s to 7s

Gravity Vortex: Decreased throw velocity from 16.5m/s to 15m/s

Made animations flow more smoothly when going from a vaulting animation to a firing sequence or aiming down sights
