OPERATOR BALANCING

VIGIL

Vigil will share the same glitching behavior as Nøkk.
The ERC-7 Video Disruptor will not be deactivated when performing certain actions, such as shooting, and instead will trigger the glitch effect on cameras.

NØKK

The HEL gadget ability no longer reduces movement sounds.
Maximum duration increased to 20 seconds (from 12).
Added new glitching sources, such as being flashed or pushed.
Nøkk is no longer immune to Alibi's Prisma. It will detect her, but she can prevent being pinged by activating her the HEL gadget.
