Faceless shitcurity masks with shitcurity catchphrases is not something I enjoyed nor want back.

If you really want to be a faceless mook, get a normal gas mask.

Leave that to the deathsquad.

[Steelpoint]

I would like it back, if only to spite Paprika for him just removing the masks from the game without actually conferring with the community.

That's stupid.

[Steelpoint]

So what? I personally like the masks and I would enjoy them being put back.

Also don't forget that if you really wanted to get rid of 'faceless security' you forgot to get rid of breath masks and any form of headware.

[Incomptinence]

Good idea putting them back in security lockers. They aren't even in the armoury now they are in the wardens office making him what the mask lord? As warden I tend to give them back to the gear room but people are usually too busy by the time I do it to put them on a real shame
I am neutral on the actual sprite. Full SWAT mask conceals identity papmask can fold down now so that is cool. Pro cons kimda neutral

I like having a way to tell people to stop so I can talk to them quickly.

Also a quick way to warn people.

[MisterPerson]

I didn't say there wasn't merit to wanting the mask back, I just said that adding it back to spite Paprika is really, really stupid.

[Mongke]

The current masks should stay but if security wants to look edgy maybe put some in the armoury with the riot gear

[Steelpoint]

In the grand scheme of things there's very little, if any, difference between the SWAT Security Gas Mask and the scaled down Security Gas Mask. They both have nearly a identical appearance when someone is wearing a helmet. The only time their differences are notable is when the wearer is using a Beret or is not wearing headware.

Ultimantly I would prefer if the masks were put back inside the sec lockers, what the actual mask looks like is secondary to that.

[CPTANT]

Security maks should shout simply stop commands on the lower settings instead of cheesy one-liners. The only actual USE of the function is to let someone stop when you are chasing someone and have no time to type HALT or something similar. People don't really stop when you shout "GOD MADE ME TODAY, FOR THE CROOKS HE COULD NOT CATCH YESTERDAY"/ "SHUT UP CRIME" or "DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU ARE COMING WITH ME"

I just want to say:

"STOP RIGHT THERE"
"HALT HALT HALT'
"GET ON THE GROUND"

or better give the mask a setting menu where I can determine/store the sentence that it will shout.

And no, changing the preference on the mask does not help with that now.

[Loonikus]

Put the full face ones with the riot gear in the armory and give officers the half face ones in their lockers. I kinda like the more subtle half face masks but its really not a massive deal.

Also, everything CPTANT said. Make three settings on the mask, by default it will just say the basic lines like "Stop right there!" and shit, second setting is what we have now, and third setting is the same as our last setting now. I think there are times for cheesy one liners but sometimes I just want people to stop.

[Not-Dorsidarf]

I really want to be able to alt-click or something with secmasks to make it shout "GET ON THE GROUND, [person clicked on]" for tactical arresting

[Ikarrus]

I just find them really annoying and spammable. I don't care what memes they spout.

[DemonFiren]

They already have a cooldown.

Of course, the most horrible alternative to suggest is that officers who constantly spam their masks are valid for having these masks removed by every and any player up to and including greyshits and clowns, with no right to retaliate.

[Atlanta-Ned]

Hate em. They're annoying and contribute nothing positive to how security is perceived.

[oranges]

My god it's exactly 50:50

[MisterPerson]

The poll really should have a "don't want any mask" option

[Scones]

The poll really should have a "don't want any mask" option

but that's not what i'm asking :^)

[THE MIGHTY GALVATRON]

Why can't we have both? Or make one of them researchable or some junk?

[Saltycut]

Bring them back to lockers to give everyone a choice.

[Lumbermancer]

Which is which? SWAT is the the large covering whole face, and regular is the one covering mouth only?

I like the normal gas mask more, because It looks more badass.

[TheNightingale]

I prefer the regular (mouth-only) mask, honestly, because I go nicecurity and the SWAT mask clashes with my beret. You can fold the regular mask down too, and still use HALT!, so that's even better.

Maybe the regular type in Security lockers, and the SWAT type in the Warden's Office and HoS's locker? The best of both 'curities.

[Steelpoint]

Just put both of them in a locker, or make it a preference option in the Setup Screen and put the mask in Officers backpacks.

[Steelpoint]

There are two other varients of the SWAT gas mask meant for the HoS and Warden respectively, I think the HoS got a golden stripped mask while the Warden got a more blue stripped one.

[Malkevin]

I didn't say there wasn't merit to wanting the mask back, I just said that adding it back to spite Paprika is really, really stupid.

Well to be fair he did 'remove' them to spite me.

I want the original goofy looking full head mask back, just better sprited.
The swat one is a bit too l33t 360noscope tryhard for my liking, I chose the design of the massively oversized ruskie gas masks specifically because it looked comical.

Edit: Managed to find on old screenshot of the old sprites, like I said they weren't the best.

They already have three settings, they are adjustable with a screwdriver:

You can also lock it to only the shitcurrity phrases by cutting it with wirecutters, the HoS's swat mask though is already locked to this because Paprika changed it

[Not-Dorsidarf]

Secmasks should start on setting 1, instead of setting 2, in my opinion

Yes and like you can see the lowest option does not always shout actual commands to stop.

"HALT! HALT! HALT!" and "Stop in the name of the Law." are actual commands to stop

"Prepare for justice!" ,"Compliance is in your best interest." and "Running will only increase your sentence." are not commands to stop

The choice should been between "polite" commands to stop "rude" commands to stop (such as the FREEZE SCUMBAG etc) and cheesy oneliners.

[Scones]

Those look terrible, Malk, no offense

Pushing for this to be merged, we'll sort it out later if it proves to be an issue. I'll look into tweaking hailers themselves based on the feedback here.

[Malkevin]

None taken, I didn't draw them

I'd still like someone to remake the goofy mask sprites
