Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix: 99013: fixes the slicer using banned weapons (red
 strelkas, which are military) and tones down the +3 levels enhanced omni
 partisan cannon to +1 level because at +3 levels worth of damage its
 tremendously more dangerous than the other loadouts (aside from the launcher
 but at least the launcher requires the slicer to aim at the player and can
 run out of ammo)

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] chore: update the slicer to ignore shields down, which
 should negate the need for the omni weapon, and makes the fight more
 aggressive
