Minor Adjustments

Removed the rest of the PGD Connect stuff (Did a test run on a server to check).

Another quick balance pass on weapons and adjustment to Zombie HP due to a reduction of damage values in many weapons to PvP balance the mod.

 	* Increased the XP reward from killing ravager zombies
