About the PR

Adds the Syndicate Home Run Bat, a highly unusual weapon designed only the craziest of operatives.

On hit, it launches a target like a gorilla gaunlet, but at triple the speed, doing 30 brute while also doing heavy structural damage.

Why / Balance

Syndicate melee weaponry in the high TC territory has always been a problem, so I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring and give my own take on a high TC melee weapon a shot.

Technical details

It's a new yaml file with some new sprites, that's all.

Congratulations, you just discovered a bug with the gorilla gauntlet. The gauntlet can unanchor glimmer probers at 500, which means the bat can too.

prober should prevent unanchor via canceling an event or something on top of the shock thing when using wrench

I mean I can try to code it to where if glimmer is over 500 it physically cannot be unanchored

Yeah, I know. But this event isn't getting triggered at all.

Ah, the event is getting raised on the owner of the MeleeThrowOnHit component, not the thing being hit. Guess I'll just add a new event

or just add another field (if the weapon isnt stored already it might be) for flexibility and raise it on the thing being hit as well, less logic to maintain

I'm still unsure about this, it might be abused heavily. But I'll leave it up to the judgement of the other maintainers

I think I would prefer it if this bat wasn't 2.5x as powerful as a wielded baseball bat, even when unwielded. Maybe a little bit stronger would be fine, but not to the point that you could very easily crack open the vault with it. I would like this a bit more of it was something you'd buy for its utility, rather than being arguably one of the best melee weapons in the game. Having knockback on a swing is a very cool utility for sure.

If I ever revisited this later, I actually would want to reflavor it as a "Gorlex Breacher Fist", a power fist sort of weapon that shares its color scheme and design queues with a bloodred hardsuit.

less damage, buy it for utility, it launches people far
