Sec Equipment being overtuned

[le mon]

baton energy use was nerfed. each model of taser has been nerfed. energy use per taser shot has been nerfed. wavegun has been nerfed at some other point because it was genuinely too strong.

Maybe it’s just my ignorance, but I don’t remember any radical changes to our tasers or batons except for the wavegun EMP and burst taser. That said, I think I kind of understand why sec’s gear is so strong and why changing stuns might discourage people from playing sec in the first place.

I just feel like things such as brute reducing stun, the unhackable armory, moving shotguns to locked crates, and mindhack protection for sec officers are more like band-aid solutions to a broader and very persistent problem. Plus, it feels frustrating to have so little offensive power if you didn’t pick the usual wrestling belt or shotgun, especially when 2-3 secoffs with their 2 hit guns, all clone scanned, show up with a hovering AI eye revealing your location at all times and a mandatory medical borg backing them up.
