Scalpels dipped in poison are useless - Winklabom - 03-10-2015
Dipping scalpels in poison is a waste of said poison because your victim will bleed the poison right out before doing any significant damage.
It's much more effective to either splash them with the beaker full of nasty chems OR just keep slashing them into critical blood loss with the scalpel.

I think this was also a problem with the tranquilizer gun at some point.

It also gives a huge red text message to everyone on screen that you're dipping it into a POISON BOTTLE. It's dumb.

Not only are poisonous scalpels useless but they also aren't stealthy at all since they give a big ominous red text along the lines of "Stabby MacStabberson dips his scalpel in the beaker!"

I forgot to add that " beaker" can be replaced by whatever your poison container is named.
That text is also shown to everyone that can see you on their screen.

The beaker-dipping message is fine. If you want to poison someone stealthily then use a sleepypen.
The other issue is fixed, however.
