new idea for the portable tester - 茶 Tea - 08-30-2025

if a traitor uses a portable tester it should do 600 damage to the detective. this would incentivize traitors to use the portable tester and add a new interesting aspect to this tired and overused D weapon
it would also make it less overused

Interesting. But I am afraid no one wants to buy the tester if they make it like that.

youre not forced to use it until overtime (which i believe it still has to be a detective making you?) and then half the time some idiot spams it anyways. the real overused D item is grappling hook and should have a 10% chance to not hook properly, resulting in possible death or fall damage

just shoot it when no one's looking

I think this would make sense if it was 50 damage- they’d have to tag it twice to kill the detective with this method but it would still be a counter play to the detective item

This I can support, since I am terrible at using it my self and I want death to people better than me 3:-)
Just kidding with the last part, partly 3:-)

it still announces you killed the detective which provides a reason not to do this and a reason for the detective not to use testers when there's like 3 players left

this provides the same gameplay except in the rare case when there's only one charge so i am +0.75 on this

grapple hook users ruin the game almost as much as tester users

but at least the grapple requires some skill

An attack on grapple hook is an attack on joy and whimsy
Detective should be replaced with a new role called tf2 soldier
