Those guns are locked inside the armory that can be acessed by the HoS or the Warden (or Captain) only. Regular Shitcurity picks Officer because they don't want to sit in the Brig as Warden or have extra responsability as HoS, so they can't get those guns. A Warden or HoS actually getting those things and being shitcurity is fortunnaly a rare event.
Hulks don't lose speed or anything. They can run as fast as anyone else. And considering rushing and disarming someone is considered a very viable strategy, imagine someone that can disarm, harm and stun all with a single punch to understand how viable this is.
Even better, the Hulk can use armor to mitigate damage which combined with his stun immunity gives him plenty of time to get within melee range. And since he can even hide his hulkiness with masks and not speaking, he even has the surprise element if he is robust.
You literally have never tried hulk if you think it's that underwhelming.
Motherfucker, genetics is kinda personnal to me for very strange reasons, I know what I'm talking about. Stop talking out of your ass about something you don't even know to the point where you admit it might be a bug. I KNOW Xray gives you night vision as well because that's how it works codewise. I have perfected my genetics-fu throughout the ages and can get all the powers faster than anybody else without even upgrades, I've extensively tested all powers and I can tell 100% sure it gives you night vision. Join the damn server and go autism some genomes so you stop being dumb about this shit.
You goddamn retarded space nigger. Whenever you fire a gun, there's actually an entity that's fired from it and you can even see it. Ballistic weapons have faster projectiles than energy weapons but they are all actual entities moving around. With the right combination of drugs and other enhancements, yes. You can run side by side with a taser\laser shot. I know because I've done it before for shits and giggles. Balistic weapons however is impossible since their projectile is much faster.
R&D requires at least 15 minutes for research alone. Plus another 15 minutes for minerals alone and that's assuming you are lucky. This is still 30 minutes like genetics and you don't even need 30 minutes for all the powers. You just gotta test for disabilities to know what genes are powers and crank those as high as possible. This takes 15-20 minutes.
Then someone else started the genome from 24 and going down, leading to 15 minutes of research as well. Wew!
That doesn't work on hulks and has limited battery. Hulk punchs also stun and cause damage at the same time without requiring recharge, so it's essentially a deadlier stunbaton.
And do the same with Genetics. What was your original point anyway? That genetics gave too much work for too little benefit? Compare Hulk, Xray, TK with any of the crap you can make in the Protolathe that only costs Metal and Glass.
You dumb nigger monkey, every disease has a colection of symptoms and every tick it procs, those symptoms run their own function. For the case of Stimulant, it checks your internal chem storage for Hyperzine and Coffee and adds a bit more if it's below a certain threshold. Self respiration does the same with dexalin, others do the same with Bicaridine and Kelotane.
That's how viro works, woopity fucking do. It's just an automated Chem Synthetizer inside of you, no different from an Odysseus.
The most advanced sympton there is is probably toxic compensation since that one changes Damage directly insted of resorting to chems.
You could mix up Hyperzine, Coffee, Bicaridine, Kelotane and Dexalin into a beaker, inject the mix into a cigar and keep puffing it to get exactly the same effect Viro can do without all the RNG involved in mutating your Virus. Viro doesn't take any more skill or effort than any other department and doesn't make anything better than a chemist can whip out in 10 minutes at worse.
This whole discussion started because of someone claiming reverting the Pandemic machine to the previous "non easy" version was great because it balanced all the awesome powers it gave you when all it does is make Viro tedious again for no unique benefit other than not having to read the Chemisty section in a wiki.
