Give ERTs "Swat Gloves" instead of Black Gloves

Post by Gentlefood » 26 Feb 2016, 17:56

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Title. The Swat Gloves found inside the Administrator's quarters on the colony offer both fire and a small amount of brute resistance. Which makes more sense for PMC or Iron Bears to have rather than just fire resistance gloves.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Makes ERT hands less prone to breaking.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Small change to ERT.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Small change to ERT.

I see one huge downside....NO MORE HANDLESS SQUAD!
No honestly however, I'm okay with this. They are mercs trained for fighting and doing the dumbest shit alive, you're telling me they don't have gloves designed for it? +1

Since they are vulnerable to headcrabs it would make sense for them to be stronger in other areas, +1 from me

+1, because if they also come in contact with marines and they attack each other MARINES *WILL* AT ONE POINT REALISE THEY HAVE NO PROTECTION AT HANDS, this makes them drop they guns if they get fired there, xenos can also exploit this, making PMC's really suddenly weak as regular marines, but with a better rifle and facehugger protection

Good suggestion +1, might as well consider their shoes as well. It always surprised me that they are wearing corporate dress shoes.

On an unrelated note, I've never found swat gloves in the colony admin room

+1 to having more effective gloves for the ERTs to use, especially for Death Squad troopers scince there tends to be alot of people meta gaming and aiming for hands to counter the DS.
