I had this on my mind for a while, and now i wanna put it in an article that some may read. Why are you fucking security role. I liked to play it cause noone else would, we tried our best to stop the station from going in to complete disorder, we killed antags, and you made it so fucking hard. No wonder noone wants to play it nowadays, first you nerfed flashes so they are useless unless the guy is right in front of you. I get that the wall slamming and confusion was, lets say OP, but it made the already hard job easier. Why not just lower the durability of the flash so you have to get new ones. Okay next you fuck the stun baton so its, well a nice looking stick. There was nothing bad about it, nothing necesseraly OP, you had to land 2 solid hits so you can cuff a guy. Now what if the guy has a gun and your disabler is empty, take the baton and get his ass, well now you can just give up cause the baton is just a glowy stick and thats all. You expect that people can serve justice with a plastic stick, water squirt gun that has to be recharged every 10 shots and a thing that makes bright lights? your last hope is either flashbang or pepper spray, if the guy has ear protection, good luck. If the guy has eye protection good luck. Sec role is fucked and not fun thanks to some people being really salty when they get assraped by sec, and are salty when sec cant do shit against antags now.
The problem is alot of security players have a trash power complex and just get their shit taken by other people. Who in turn use that on others.
Also flashes are publicly avaible and fuck confusion shit bruh…!! Just get good at your job and don’t rely on one hit stun shit.
Just like use disablers and bola’s dude lol
you have to smack someone with a baton like 8 times, so its useless, only thing that isnt trash is your pew pew, and that has to be cahrged frequently, want me to run around with a bat to crit people to cuff them?
Batons are fine in the sense of stam critting a downed person. Double wall shove and baton = stamcrit. If you rely on one hit stamcrits so badly you’re doing something wrong.
Security is the easiest job man, and you have the entire fucking loadout and armory round-start.
Just get a spare disabler. Ask the warden and you’ll probably get one since it’s…well…a disabler.
Use things that aren’t spoonfed to you, like space lube for example.
its not easy when there is like 2 officers, also you dont have warden every time and carrying tons of guns will make some badmin call you out for powergame
Oh bruh that’s MRP. But I’d assume sec bola’s and two disablers shouldn’t break those rules.
Sec bola to slow and wall shove. Or make normal bola’s to force disarm hng. Why am I teaching you to do your cringe job
no you are cringe :((((((((((((((

Carrying a ton of guns, sure.
Carrying a ton of disablers? Very doubtful.
If warden is off, ask hos.
If hos is off, ask to become hos.
If hop and cap don’t exist, just break in. Who’s gonna stop you? Repair afterwards of course.
The problem is more in the player base than the gear. If security could function without 15 grey shirts either attacking or outright murdering them at any given time, they would be VERY powerful with the equipment they do have as Owen points out.
Security however exists as a bit of an anti-fun role, on an LRP chaos-based server (or on MRP, as a Low to Medium RP beat cop situation). The tide has taken to a mob mentality default against security, so youre fighting antags, would be IC criminals and tiders constantly.
Bee has little to no security presence because doing this job is near impossible and only the absolutely most robust players have a chance to survive. The ones that do, often learn quickly that shitters are gonna ahelp and they’re gonna be sec or even server banned for simply playing the role.
There are many factors working against sec, not just zeskos grudge coding
The security presence besides a few is generally pretty trash and focusses on ego/petty/grudge shit instead of actual threats. Instead of taking 15 minutes to put some one in jail for calling you a ligger or murderboning you that one previous round, perhaps focus on the blood cult murdering/converting people.
I’ve seen plenty robust assistant players mostly work with security and aid them against bigger threats, saving them several times over. I myself barely ever ahelp shit unless it’s the absolute most bullshit and I doubt ahelps really have anything to do with it. I’d guess that those get more favored towards sec as an IC matter unless an actual shitsec matter was at hand.
Security just attracts the worst kind of people (mostly)
This is why I have and will continue to suggest security-grade flashes
I think that PR from Bacon did something like that though, haven’t checked
