Notes

• The Better Half does not seem to effect Vladof brand Minigun type weapons, such as the Shredifier, which feature variable fire rates, as these guns begin with a slower fire rate, then spin up to speed.

• The game does not notify you if The Better Half is in effect via the bottom of the screen.

• The Better Half does not seem to effect Vladof Infinity whatsoever. The game concludes "half" to be rounded to 0, not 1, meaning it has no effect on the Infinity.
