Re: Add back CONTRACTORS

Kits were a fun thing old traitors had and I dont think they were entirely incompatible with prog traitors. Each kit could have a custom task related to the kit you recieve, like the old darth sidious desword kit having an objective to cut both of a person's legs off or something.

Re: The 1 issue I have with the chunky baton nerf

I am imagining a world where batons deal 20 or 25 stamina damage and dont have a super long delay so you just fight with them as you would any other 20 damage weapon.
