Original Body

About the PR

adds a decoy syndicate bomb to uplink for 4 TC
in all ways similar to a real syndicate bomb, but only explodes as hard as a training bomb

price has been discussed on discord several times and seems good

*also fixes syndicate bomb description saying their timer is 120 seconds, when it's actually 180

Why / Balance

a lesser distraction (no huge hole and dead people if it blows) for a lesser price, and allows syndicate bombs to be more effective for more TC if you buy one together with decoy bombs to draw attention
why 4 TC? anything above that just doesn't seem like it'd be worth it; yes, a syndicate bomb will likely cause nearby people to vacate the place, but it will also draw at least one person to go defuse it and you will be very sus if you're spotted nearby and aren't defusing

Media

• I have added screenshots/videos to this PR showcasing its changes ingame, or this PR does not require an ingame showcase

Changelog

🆑

• add: Syndicate decoy bombs may now be purchased from the uplink.
• fix: Syndicate bomb description no longer lies about their minimum detonation time.
