You can really have fun with this. If the locker is loaded in a mech, then summoning the item moves the whole mech over. You can also use it on an MMI or battery inside a borg to summon the borg to your side.

Mechs can be connected to ports.
The pressure of the internal tank can be changed.
There is no upper limit to the pressure that the internal tank can be set to.
Epic prank idea: fill a mech with nitrous oxide, toggle internal tank usage, set tank to 999999 kpa, and leave the mech in a public area.

More silly than game-changing, but if you're a mediborg with the hypo upgrade that gives you rezadone you can keep monkeys being succ'd by slimes alive for ages.
One jab of rezadone will cure the cellular damage, so the slime can keep feeding off of the same monkey. I did this once with a friendly sentient slime and they were able to split so many times. We ended up making the area look like a bootleg xenobio lab until someone rushed in and killed them all.

If someone's in hard crit and bleeding out, pop them on a roller bed/in a locker and drag them to safety. It'll stop them from losing more blood/leaving blood trails all over.

It's also a good way to dispose of bodies if you don't have space cleaner/soap on hand. I've recovered a lot of dumped bodies simply from following blood trails.

The DragNET is very damn powerful.

When fired in snare mode, its a guaranteed stun on practically any target you hit irrespective of what defence they have (Nuke Op E-Shields? What's that). You have a lot more shots with your psudon stun round than any Taser or Adv Egun. You can stack the stun even if the person has the bear trap on them for infinite stuns. Its grants massive slowdown to the target that takes a minute for them to remove and the trap, when on a target, does not automatically disappear over time.

The only downside is the sprite is bad.

"O" is the Hotkey for OOC. Now I can Iccy Okky 5 times faster.

You can view your admin notes from the OOC tab, so you can see all the shit the staff have written about you, like how smelly they think you are.

Your AdminHelps can actually be rejected. Outright. You get the ping back and in big red text, it's like "Ahelp Rejected"

They don't have abilities though and can't use most weapons
HONKs, on the other hand, are actually a combat mech, so they can use any weapons
Yes, this means a traitor could make one, give it a horn and clusterbang, and terrorize the station with noise

Back when space was still static and I was traitor clown I made a horn/ion/LMG HONK, it was the shit. No clusterbangs because this was before mechs had flashbang protection.
With stuns being what they were this thing was a station wipe.

Listen buddy, I am a one man war against grime and I dont have time to run whining to some "chemist" to give me ammonia just so one of the few things that brings me joy in this life goes away because Greyshirt McDickhead cant learn to read a fucking holosign.

But really, half the point of the janitor job is to cause slipping. Walk mode exists for a reason.

Botanist machines have ammonia. You can order your own chemistry machine at HoP/Cargo. Search for ammonia itself makes janitor job much more interesting. Or you could go full autism fort, build ghetto robotics printer. And create and army of bucket bots.
