Re: Traitor Ideas you wanna pull off.

Also, to do the whole schtick on syndiebombs in this thread... They're impossible to brick. The trick is cutting their "explode" wire and then mending it while they're disarmed. That fixes the bomb immediately and prevents literally any possibility of blowing yourself up while using the w...

Re: Traitor Ideas you wanna pull off.

They fit in crates. That they do, but unless you're very good on the timing, it's harder to have it detonate when you want to. I've tried hooking up a signaller to a syndiebomb before, but unless you get lucky with the wires, chances are you'll just brick it instead. And the whole sequenced-explosi...

Re: Traitor Ideas you wanna pull off.

Syndiebombs fit in lockers? They don't, but you can just pry out the payload, which fits into lockers, crates, backpacks, etc. Combine that with the fact minor explosions trigger the payload, and you can do some crafty stuff. So, for the mulebot, you can spawn a syndiebomb and some C4, hook the C4 ...

Honestly the reason most people cling to Box so desperately is because they cannot stand change or another map, so the only way you'll get Asteroidstation is probably by forcing it for a week and waiting for the screams to die down.

You can use a dead cyborg (or a live one, for that matter) as an all-access card by pushing it into airlocks. Can't push it / harm intent / not enough space? Fear not!
