Viro-terror grenades and Fungal Tuberculosis

[J_Madison]

Post feedback here.

Yes I know the virus kit is the most expensive conventional item in the uplink at 20 TC.
If people are more competent in the event of virus outbreaks, I'll consider seeing it reduced.
Please make note/ban requests on the person that poisons the whole team or himself.
Remember SCARLET before throwing the grenade.

Seal suit from chemicals.
Clear the area to prevent it being thrown back.
Activate internals and secure air supply.
Ready vaccine (incase your buddy gets infected)
Let your friends know you want to throw the grenade.
Engage hostiles, make sure you can actually get to a good position.
Throw grenade.

> all those words

Just throw the grenade and hope for the best

Sure, you could throw a viroterror grenade and give people viruses, but why not throw a flashbang and stun them, then shoot them five times?

[TechnoAlchemist]

I can only see these being useful if you use them as sabotage beforehand, and get the whole crew sick, but that requires waiting and assumes they won't meta it

Because this shit spreads like crazy.

>disease the whole crew with an undercover op
>rest of the ops come in as quarantine control personnel

As a traitor why would I ever buy this when one competent medbay player can shit out vaccines until the cows come home?

What is the cure to this disease, and can it be made entirely in chemistry?

What does this disease do to someone, and is it just an airbourne spread or is there something special involved?

I've literally not seen it used once but I know this causes a ton of oxyloss.

Someone released this. Anyone who caught (which was anyone who entered the same room as someone infected) it started vomiting literally once every 1-2 seconds and stayed chainstunned until death. Spread instantly as well.

Whole crew dead for 5tc/20tc in traitor (cant believe this was gonna be only 9tc in the traitor kit)

[Zilenan91]

Good god. Remove the vomiting or make them vomit less frequently and it'll be fine. I don't think Madison realised how OP vomiting was.

[J_Madison]

Traitors can't buy grenade.

Hindsight is 20/20. I'll look into it.
For now, I think it breaks the standard metagame and people need to use internals or sterile masks, and biosuits more. It sounds like it breaks the metagame against ops and finally makes a virus to be afraid of.

It seems to have a similar paradox as the Chemspray where the counter is literally "just put on internals and walk away".

[Zilenan91]

It's not that it kills you fast, it's that it literally permastuns you just from vomiting alone and that's stupid. Make a lethal virus if you want it to kill people, don't have it stun them forever and slowly kill them.

I'll take a look into it.

Technically this isn't a true killer virus, compared to the likes of GBS, Spanish Inquisition, Ice9, but it's a greatly crippling one.

If vomiting is an issue, I'll take a look and see what I can do to reduce it.

[onleavedontatme]

It is nice having a virus that is actually scary I guess, I am just worried "whole crew is chainstunned call the shuttle" will get old as a traitor purchase.

[J_Madison]

Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Fungal Tuberculosis Deadly Hahahaha Assistant Just Walk Away From The Smoke Like Clown Open Your Internals Haha

No, seriously. The cure is Spaceacillin and Salbutamol, like seriously.

And if you're really gut, you can learn the vorborten secrets of the biosuit and sterile mask.

Make it a clusterbang, and make it virus-infected blood foam if it isn't already. Good luck dodging that one. And make the cure something harder to get (but still obtainable, albeit at high effort).

I'll consider it for the next virus.

instead of making it a grenade you could just make it a beaker of blood

grenade is operator only
