## About The Pull Request So this PR comes in two basic parts: the new ammo types and the minor balance changes. I'll go over each separately. **--- NEW AMMO TYPES ---**  -- Metallic Hydrogen Ammo: Made from Metallic Hydrogen, obviously. Has middling damage and no dismemberment chance, but pierces through armor and enemies like they weren't even there. -- Zaukerite Slivers: Made from a zaukerite crystal. Does high toxic damage, and has excellent wounding and embed chances, but lacking in armor penetration. Also gives 1 second of blurry vision if it hits you! -- Paper balls: Crafted from a sheet of paper. Mostly just a throwing joke item, and 99% nonlethal like donksoft. Can be fired from a crossbow, but also could be used if you wanted to have a snowball fight on metastation. -- Healium Crystal Bolts! Crafted (using menu) from the healium grenade item. Heals 30 of brute/tox/burn, but puts who is hit by it to sleep for three seconds, limiting its use in actual combat. -- Supermatter Bolts: Dusts whoever you shoot it at! Absurdly overpowered! Admin only! -- A makeshift quiver, made from cutting a o2 tank in half, to store all the ammo in. **MINOR BALANCE CHANGES** -- For some reason I thought the 357, which the traitor crossbow is a direct competitor to, did 40 damage when making the first version of the PR, instead of the reality of it doing 60. It's been buffed to 55 damage. (The basic engi one still does 35.) -- I've been informed that generally, the stressed rebar crossbow isn't ever used, as the misfire chance isnt worth the extra shot. As such, I felt it was thematic to say that the stressing procedure involves messing with the draw system in the fluff, and the stressed one now takes half as long to rack. **OTHER CRAP** -- The rods now drop themselves if you shoot them at a wall. Hopefully. -- Fixed the the non-bare wound chance on the traitor crossbow not being increased from the base version. -- Has a nice electronic discharge noise on firing. ## Why It's Good For The Game I'm very happy with the reception of the rebar crossbow, and felt that given it was an engi weapon at heart, giving it some engi-related ammunition would fit it very well (and also have a good reason for making zaukerite besides selling it.) The paper balls were more just so the crew could able to shoot their buddies with it and not maim them. As for the balance, I feel the tot crossbow being department restricted is already a strong factor in it being infrequently seen, and if someone is lucky enough to roll traitor in a job slot, it's a shame if their job's items aren't worth it. The stressed variant is a similar case, and I hope it's enough of a buff to encourage its use. ## Changelog 🆑 WebcomicArtist add: Added zaukerite (high damage/embed, low AP) and metallic hydrogen (High AP and piercing, but low embed) crossbow ammo for the rebar crossbows add: Added healium crystal ammo for the crossbow as well, which heals whomever you shoot it at. add: Added admin-only supermatter crossbow bolts that dust you, because why the hell not. add: Added non-harmful paper balls.
