After messing with fake cleaner grenades they don't exactly work like I expected. Here's the wiki description:
This is not really how it works:
The current foam slipping doesn't seem like a bad behaviour, it keeps players in the puddle which is decent rather than them just sliding out of it. However the item is currently pretty limited against experienced players who will just walk through it.
Sliding through foam feels like it should trigger touch, however that is big change to foam that could cause balance issues although it could still use the 30 reagent cap.
Similarly the foam not affecting items until the end feels wrong but would be another big change to foam.
zjdtmkhzt suggested at swapping the space lube for organic super lube. I think this would be a good change as you slip with twice the energy, are knocked down for twice as long and take up to 10 more brute damage. This is much more traitor-y but has the big downside of slipping janitor galoshes.
Quote:These may look like the janitor's regular cleaning grenades, but include space lube and fluorosulfuric acid as well. The former slips up anybody trying to move on the foam (and lingers for a while afterwards), while the latter melts items and horribly burns the victims.
The damage stacks for every foamed tile you step on, even while slipping on the lube. Taking a slide across the entire foam puddle will hurt.
This is not really how it works:
- The foam is clearly different to regular cleaning grenades. Anyone with experience will avoid bright blue foam.
- Foam is totally safe to walk or lay in and roll over. Only slipping causes acid effects.
- The chance to melt your hat and mask when slipping is a pretty low 20%.
- The tiles are only lubed after the foam disappears. Foam does not cause you to slide.
- Similarly, any items dropped only melt when the foam disappears. Weirdly this also rolls to melt your hat/mask if you are standing in it.
- Sliding across a foam puddle does not do anything. You will not be affected by the acid at all.
