I'd like to see the emag remain but instead changed to be a one use item (or finite use). The emag right now is amazing and pretty overpowered, so if you had to think carefully about what you'd use it on that might balance it out.

Pretty much no one uses the emag anymore because its incredibly obvious and too expensive nowadays to pair with other brute-force options. I think the only time I've seen them used in months was someone emagging the duck, and some sleepbuddies.

The emag is amazingly useful, but it sends up a massive red flag that'll leave all but the most careful or well-armed traitors being spaced.

i've seen it used twice in recent rounds to unlock a hypospray. by far my favorite use of it. same downside, though; you end up being incredibly obvious unless you pump someone with 30 units of sleep toxin all at once in a maintenance shaft. you also run the risk of getting beaten up but when do you ever not.
