Let's talk about the Detective

[Glamurio]

the best idea i got to try and mitigate the overpowered gun issue is to lock dets gun behind armory access, but not in armory. like if det has a ONLY OPEN IF SHIT IS FUCKED drawer or something in their office and its unlocked via armory being unlocked + a key that only the det spawns with. in turn det should probably start with some other less insane tool to take down antags in a pinch. nothing as strong as a taser or baton but nothing thats hard countered by someone wearing funny sunglasses.

tho that does kinda retract from the standard detective-type look in fiction where they always have that gun, so maybe lock just the lethals behind that and nerf the stuns? iunno.

This is honestly a really cool idea. It would already help a lot to have the detective resort to violence less often to just have a simple barrier like this. Makes it more obvious that apprehending criminals isn't their primary job.
