Tunnel clown syndie bundle

[Ezel]

So i want to add a tunnel clown syndie bundld fitting the old tunnel clown myths but maybe scarier

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/ ... -260201443

So i got the idea to add a demon heart to the mix making the syndie bundle worth but maybe some people might think its to strong

Some other suggested a cham projector but that may still let the bundle too weak including the fireaxe(which can break airlocks)

So i just make a poll here

[PKPenguin321]

A fireaxe is just a strictly worse esword. Maybe give it an esword.

[Ezel]

But i want to make it stick to the tunnel clown thing atleast a two handed weapon what if i buff the fireaxe in power as a subtype?

[PKPenguin321]

Bundles are focusing too much on theme imo, their original purpose is just to have >20TC of assorted items with the drawback of not being able to pick what you would get with only occasionally getting a snowflake item (which iirc was just the hacked AI toy and TK injector). Give it a snowflake thing if you want, but I would just try to keep it relatively simple.

Space Axe.

[Ezel]

Oke so what about this

Cham projector
Combat gloves
clown suit/mask
Chap hoodie
Maybe a 30 brute axe 35 brute or (MAYBE a energy axe

[PKPenguin321]

Energy axe is like 130 brute lol
Plus the axe is still worse, you can't conceal it and you have to wield it

[Ezel]

Oke oke i just add a double esword i guess

[letshavecake]

Why would a tunnel clown need to conceal a weapon in the first place

[PKPenguin321]

Why would a tunnel clown need to conceal a weapon in the first place

so that his traitor round isn't completely screwed. this is a traitor not an actual tunnel clown.

also the set still basically only has a weapon and a projector which is pretty lame and not very much, a dual esword might be cool but we already have a kit with that in it so yeah

[Ezel]

I mean nearly every kit is a gimmick kit anyways
As metaops includes a bulldog shoygun aka backpackable combat shottie and a ninja one with a katana (cant conceal the katana too) i mean i can do just add a subtype fireaxe to match up for dual esword i mean 30 brute axe cham projector insulated gloves and thermals

maybe change the sprite and fluff text for the axe and make it usable when you blood jaunt.

also adding both would be best, everyone loves blood jaunting gas masks.

edit:

telescopic energy axe?

size of a telebaton, expand and it becomes a telebaton, activate again and it becomes a 25 brute energy axe.

There should be functionally no difference
You don't take on the mantle of a tunnel clown so you can then pretend to not be a tunnel clown

[Ezel]

Altough i dont want the demon heart being stronger aka jaunting in and out with item in hand

The telestopic axe sounds cool as fuck

Scenario:you are walking in maint its dark you slip over a banana peel a clown comes from nowhere you hear a telestopic baton extending... but wait thats not a baton its a axe and the clown starts to hit you with it

Altough i would need sprites then

[Jacough]

Could give it a machete that's the equivalent of an esword. Maybe for shits and giggles make it do extra damage when covered in blood

[DemonFiren]

Oxford, no.
This has got to be in violation of Geneva.

Demon is definately too strong.

happy christmas

telescopic energy axe

fits in pocket when fully collapsed
acts as a telebaton with a longer stun and moderate stamina damage when extended
acts as a (required) two handed 30 brute axe (energy sword sounds, doesnt cause bleeding due to searing)
when its dropped it goes back into a telebaton state.

[ShadowDimentio]

Fully erect

The best part of this would be the progression, both visually and with the sound effects
You'd hear a squeak from the shoes before seeing a clown in the dark, get whacked, then see the red glow and hear the lightsaber noise, while you're unable to run away
That sort of thing would strike fear into the hearts of wandering greyshits everywhere

[Ezel]

May the horror come soon

[Drynwyn]

Can't have a weapon deal brute damage and not cause bleeding, bleeding is handled by the mob based on current brute damage, not by weapons.

have it heal bleeding then

that would be horribly hacky (pun very much intended.)

One of the best round I had was when I was turned into a Tunnel clown by the Gods after a ritual suggested by traitor Chaplain (thank you Pony Hitler).
I had all access and a thermal monocle to see people through walls and stalk them, plus the usual fireaxe and chaplain hoodie.

Imo the set should be = Thermal glasses, chaplain hoodie, clown dress, emag and fireaxe (maybe replace with e-sword since axe can't be concealed)

[PKPenguin321]

If you want to go balls out, put a fire axe and an autoimplanter with a nodrop implant. Still unconcealable but at least it's less bad
