Increase laser gun ammo

[SkeletalElite]

Without being able to carry multiple lasers some threats are pretty unbearable to fight. Especially anything with lots of healing or just a large health pool. I think another 5 or so shots would go a long way to help with this. One laser gun just doesnt give you enough staying power in a fight.

what if there were energy gun speedloaders, like little combat inducer batteries you could slap onto the gun to recharge it

Pretty sure someone tried to add in portable inducers, but it was canned because it made non-energy based weaponry obsolete.

tldr just use a shotgun and carry ammo so lasers dont have to get power creeped.

I already have increased ammo count. Could increase it more yea

[Tlaltecuhtli]

why not make lasers hitscan?
only negative point is buffing the 3-4 somalians with aimbot hacks, but we have admins for a reason

[Super Aggro Crag]

hit scan would be boring

i feel like it could work if you made them equally as gated as speedloaders for revolvers

make them sec lathe only, make them require tech, make them on a per gun basis like how there's different bullets for different firearms, that sort of thing

I agree that anything can be balanced if people want to do it. Also apparently laser guns don't go in bags now who would've thought it

[SkeletalElite]

It used to be that disablers are twice as efficient as lethals but given modern state of things I think they should be equal. Non lethal still has it's use over lethals without costing more ammo.

Doing so would ruin the few blob rounds where the crew doesn't already have PAs.

Blob kinda exists purely to lose anyway tbh.

I disagree with this. Laser guns are already balanced around the fact that you dont have to carry around a bunch of ammo to reload, and advanced ones recharge automatically.

That was before you could practically only carry one laser.

When Im playing sec late into the shift Ill typically have an advanced on my armor and an xray in my bag, with medkit and box filled with tools. Few other random items as well. You can fit as many as three in a bag minus the random junk.

Their size was increased

lasers are bulky now they only go on armor

Oh well fuck me, I cant keep up.
