Gnasher Weapon Tuning

Crash & Stability Improvements

• Fixed several rare crashes and bugs across all platforms.
• General stability updates to ensure smoother gameplay.

Performance & Visuals

• Ultrawide 21:9 support added in benchmark mode.
• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) now supported in campaign mode on Xbox Series X|S.
