* Adds engi improvised weapon - rebar crossbow + Engi Exclusive Tot Shop Variant (#78777) <!-- Write **BELOW** The Headers and **ABOVE** The comments else it may not be viewable. --> <!-- You can view Contributing.MD for a detailed description of the pull request process. --> ## About The Pull Request  Engi now has access to a Half Life 2 Inspired rebar crossbow! Made of rods, wire, and an inducer, it shoots sharpened iron rods at a high velocity. High damage and good embed chance, but requires you to reload every shot which requires you to stand still for three seconds to pull the string back. You can also Use a wrench on it to force it to store more rods (read: more than one), but risks it exploding and shooting you instead. The syndicate variant, avaliable to traitor engis, can fire three rounds before needing a reload, and features a scope and better armor piercing ammpo, but costs 10TC. I see it as a sidegrade to the revolver - quieter and has much more widespread ammuniton, but holds less ammo and doesnt have the same burst stopping power. And, to those concerned about the balance of a non-traitor with this item - the AP ammo can only be made by the traitor who bought it, and anyone else has to use normal ammo. GUN STAT JUNK Normal one has 60% embed chance and does 40 damage (against unarmored targetd), but requires you to wait at least 3 seconds not moving to pull the string back. Good alpha strike but not sustainable in a long fight. Its akin to a pipegun. Lacks any AP qualities besides piercing a jumpsuit, because any wound chance it has is due to a bare skin bonus. Generally not a great weapon to fight sec with. Syndie version is generally the above but better. Takes less to pull the string back, slightly higher damage, better fire rate, etc. Doesnt fare well against any armor thats equivalent to sec gear or better due to most having low (relatively) AP and wound chance, but good bare wound bonus. STATS TLDR: Its good against unarmored chumps and greyshirts but anyone in armor that protects against bullets will kick your teeth in. Also, Ammo is crafted from an iron rod. I wanted to have it just fire rods as is, but theyre stacked items which you cant define projectiles or ammo from. ## Why It's Good For The Game I've always felt engi, for as big of a department as it is, is lacking in the "fun weapons" area. Sci has mechs and xenobio, med has chem nades and syringe guns, and cargo has anything the QM will buy - but other than the flamer and shocked doors, engi doesnt have much. Thats why I made this pr. it was originally just a traitor item, as they lacked many traitor items in their shop, but I felt like a worse, bootleg version would suit them. ## Changelog <!-- If your PR modifies aspects of the game that can be concretely observed by players or admins you should add a changelog. If your change does NOT meet this description, remove this section. Be sure to properly mark your PRs to prevent unnecessary GBP loss. You can read up on GBP and it's effects on PRs in the tgstation guides for contributors. Please note that maintainers freely reserve the right to remove and add tags should they deem it appropriate. You can attempt to finagle the system all you want, but it's best to shoot for clear communication right off the bat. --> 🆑 add: Enginenering rebar crossbows + tot kit add: Added a bunch of ammos and crafting junk to make the ammo exist image: added icond for all the above /🆑 <!-- Both 🆑's are required for the changelog to work! You can put your name to the right of the first 🆑 if you want to overwrite your GitHub username as author ingame. --> <!-- You can use multiple of the same prefix (they're only used for the icon ingame) and delete the unneeded ones. Despite some of the tags, changelogs should generally represent how a player might be affected by the changes rather than a summary of the PR's contents. --> --------- Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@ users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jacquerel <hnevard@ gmail.com> * Adds engi improvised weapon - rebar crossbow + Engi Exclusive Tot Shop Variant --------- Co-authored-by: KingkumaArt <69398298+KingkumaArt@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@ users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jacquerel <hnevard@ gmail.com>
