This suggestion partially comes out of salt but also because I witnessed how robust chef CQC was in a recent round and I think it’s too overpowered
The round I witnessed this went like this:
Suspicious Chef asks to meet Captain in kitchen, Captain asks me to go with her. (I am HoP)
We both go to Kitchen, I lurk behind 10 paces.
Chef immediately grabs her and one shots her into unconsciousness with his karate skills, then proceeds to beat her to death.
I am only 10 paces back so by the time I get there she’s already dead???
I pull out my PTSD and start shooting. He goes down on the ground then as I am about to call for help the Chef EMP’s (he’s also a ling).
I kick Chef on the ground a few times until he immediately stands back up and one shots me into unconsciousness. Chef proceeds to beat me to death.
Chef strips loots and gibs me and Captain
HoS arrives looking for disk, Chef ling has changed into Captain. Hos realizes Chef is fake Captain and confronts him.
Ling Chef Grabs HoS and one shots him into unconsciousness. Chef beats him to death.
A minute later 2 sec and Warden arrive. One sec goes further in maints while other sec and Warden see Chef ling dragging HoS body.
Seccie goes into kitchen to baton, Chef ling one shots him into unconsciousness, beats him into crit before running away. As Warden is there but can’t do anything
Warden watches helplessly from the window panel cubby in back-kitchen maints as he tried to break the glass. He eventually breaks glass and rescues the seccie inside.
I am okay with Chef being more robust in the kitchen, maybe they can hit harder or something but I think the insta-knockout of chef CQC is busted
SIX total members of command and security walk into a kitchen with a hostile/sketchy chef.
Truly a beestation command/security player moment. There is a hard counter to chef CQC, know what it is? Don’t be a room temperature IQ moron. If you can’t handle the heat then get out of the kitchen.
man i wonder if sec has anything that counters guys that have a known ability to be really robust in close quarters combat like something ranged or that can stun or something
As a maintainer, I can safely say this is a prime “I ded” thread, the Chef has CQC on kitchen turfs to kick shitters out of their workplace hard. If they’re a traitor/ling/[insert antitag here], it easily escalate to Skill issue, with the only valid solution to engage at long distances or chemical stunning.
Disabler? Yeah man I shot the chef 8 times with my PTSD gun in disable mode and he sprung back up in about 5 seconds but lings are gonna be lings
If six people can’t beat one person that’s not a me problem or an us problem, it’s a server problem.
Head of Security, supposedly the most trained and fierce person on the station gets one shot into unconsciousness by the Chef for being in Kitchen because it’s a funny zone.
This is one of the RP moments ever
You might have had a point that a ling chef with CQC is a little too potent with their stun resistance and healing ability, if every station didn’t have numerous windows or tables you could shoot through.
Have you considered not entering the kitchen to take them down? Being surprised you lost to them on their very small and limited turf is on you and you 100% deserved to lose even if this wasn’t a nuclear combination of Changeling and CQC.
As the person who added and balanced the gun used I want to reiterate: Personal Tiny Self Defense gun. It’s not meant for takedowns - it’s meant to let you run away from or repel threats.
You leave a hostile chef where they are and the worst thing that happens is they get away and lose their CQC for running.
