[New Code] RETURN THROWBATON

[Guest]

Please. This is a hilarious mechanic that deserves to make its return. Whoever committed it out is a total fucking loser and is the reason why "Thanks baycode" is such a meme right now.

[SierraKomodo]

One of the reasons*

Honestly, I'd suggest considering posting this on the github. It might fall more under a bug-report worthy thing since this existed on old code but isn't in new code.

no, fuck throwbatonning! The thought process of "SUSPECT IS FLEEING I BETTER THROW THIS FUCKIN BATON" is mindbogglingly dumb.

But it's so fucking fun. And a failure rate of 50% makes it fair.

[Guest Menown]

The thing is, it no longer works, since halloss. It's no longer an instant stun unless the guy's already in pain, so it won't really work like it used to.

Ok it is hilarious, ill give you that. stun-baton-spears might be a fair compromise.

hm...

i can see it now. Engineering breaks into armory, steals all riot shields.

marches down the hallway, hardsuits on, shields up. they let fly the stun spears and then draw their screwdrivers to gouge the eyes out of the fallen sec officers while one moves from the back with a flamethrower

True engineers fight with plasteel spears and butterfly knives.

Which is dumb and frankly one of the many things we need to fix.

[Carver]

As long as it does pain damage and not insta-stun so the belt full of stun batons isn't viable against Nukies like it used to be.

Either way tho this isn't a feature I really mind being gone, the less RNG 'ggnore' nonsense the better. You have a taser and a gun, use one of those.

[Hatley]

I reckon it could work if it was something like a 20% chance, a success rate that'd make it something of a last ditch effort. Perhaps with a lowered chance for each consecutive toss, so you can't just hurl a dozen batons at somebody.

[Nanda]

What is halloss, please?

[Gollee]

holodamage; like you get from tasers, holodeck gloves and swords, and the various. Also called pain damage.

[Valkrae]

I enjoyed it, and I want it back in my life. Please.

[UnknownMurder]

No. Security needs to 'git gud'.

You have a taser gun for a reason... Use It. Stun Batons are for CQC, that only Officer Graves is trained in.

[Arrow768]

Throwbatton, Really ?

I dont see what would be the advantage of throwing a stun batton at a target.

Even if they get hit and dont catch it, then its useless because instastun is no longer a thing.

[Carver]

Theoretically if it still existed, it would instastun because it was coded for that. Changing the rest of the baton to non-stun would not change it at all due to how it worked.
