Added some localization in the following languages: English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, to tooltips in the starting map.

New languages will appear in the future (if you want to help out in localization for you language, please sign up on Discord! https://discord.gg/monochrome
Guns now highlight slides, as well as firing selections, on grip for 5 seconds. (Does not happen if you are in Immersive Mode)
