Switchblade by Conflee · Pull Request #3264 · ss14Starlight/space-station-14 (original) (raw)

Short description

Brings the Switchblade from SS13 back. The Switchblade can be found in maintenance lockers, or purchased in the Syndicate Uplink for 1 TC. It costs half as much as an Energy Dagger, and thus is half as damaging at 10 Slash (vs 10 Slash + 10 Heat), however it's also less stealthy. When sheathed, the hilt does 2 Blunt and 4 Structural, making it ok for bashing down a wall or window if you're desperate.

Why we need to add this

More weapon variety, it's a low tier knife to match the Mosin being a low tier gun. It's also just fun stylistically to whip out a switchblade and slice someone.

Changelog

🆑 Conflee

• add: Added the Switchblade. It can be found rarely in maints lockers, or bought in the Uplink for 1 TC. It's half the cost of an Energy Dagger, but can't be concealed as easily. It does 10 Slash when unsheathed (vs the Energy Dagger's 10 Slash + 10 Heat), or 2 Blunt and 4 Structural when sheathed, making it OK for bashing down a window in an emergency.
