Gas Pacing and Damage Changes
- Increased initial safe zone size by 10% to make it slightly easier to get to
- Increased initial safe zone time to 2min, up from 1 min 30 sec
- Reduced safe zone timers for phases 2-6 to 1min 15sec, down from 1 min 30 sec

- Increased speed of gas movement for phases 2-6. The time to complete should now be 45 sec, down from 60 sec
- Decreased gas damage for phases 6-9 to 9 damage per second, down from between 12 and 15 depending on the phase
- Tightened up the gas center migration for phases 2 and 3, this will cause the safe zones to center on themselves slightly more to remove the RNG from safe zone progression
