the earplugs do deafen you.
the sonic grenades are actually one of my favorite and best items, great for crowd control like storming security, the EMP grenades are good too, they are super useful for taking out the AI's turrets if you can't be bothered to order a laser gun or get one from the HoS/captain.
The surpressed .22 is a really cool and effective item, i was able to shoot the captain to death in public and get away with it.
the rad bow is still super obvious, it might be cool if it were just visually changed, like dull the bright neon green colors of the in hand sprite
the artistic toolbox is unfun for pretty much everyone involved in the round, any other traitor will be screwed over by the artboxer and the artboxer himself will be screwed over, there isn't even a die a glorious death to go with this item, ALL the objectives either require you to escape alive or just be alive somewhere, i would suggest replacement.
the mailman suit is kind of useless since you can't climb through the pipes that you want, and it's pretty obvious.
pretty much all items in the traitor spawn lists are for killing people.
The cloaker... i'd be for making it invulnerable to thermals but giving it like a 30 second charge which automatically recharges it's PUs in like 35 seconds (reduce to 3 or 2 TC), a short time complete undetectable period would make it super great for breaking into the bridge when the captain carelessly leaves the door open because no one is there.
making the cloaker more of a tool than a rampage weapon would be sweet.
Also can real .38 rounds be added to the hacked GM or perhaps the scrap merchant could sell his homemade scrap bullets?
I think the problem is less item balance and more "shit i don't have anything to do other than murder people!" new objectives are needed imo.
