Buff the Monkey Barrel

[Nidabutt]

Monkey Barrels aren’t really a threat, anyone can run away somewhat easily, and if you have 2 people carrying a flash or baton, it’s easy to kill 6TC worth of syndicate gear.

6TC is EXPENSIVE for 6 monkeys that are in simple manhunting mode.
You have to drag out a very obvious syndicate object into a dense crowd.
They are extremely easy to be killed by anyone with a simple flash or stun baton
If you want to give them weapons, you have to drop a pile of weapons next to an already VERY OBVIOUS syndicate weapon. Sure, with some setup you could get monkeys with superpowers, but it’s just not worth the effort with 6TC.

My idea:
Decrease TC cost to 3-4TC, comparing a barrel of monkeys to other 6TC tools is embarrassing, especially considering how vulnerable it is to shut down 6TC worth of points.
Add a container to the monkey barrel that you can stuff armor, sunglasses, genetic injectors, reagents, weapons, stuff that automatically divides among the 6 monkeys with whatever they have. Anything in a beaker gets divided and injected into all 6 monkeys. This will allow people to get more creative with using it.

I love the suggestion of being able add items for them to use when they spawn, that's great. I'm unsure on the cost reduction simply because I've only seen it used once or twice so I can't provide much of a valid opinion. However, the fact I've seen it used so little suggests it may need a cost reduction.
