## About The Pull Request Closes #89617 Prior to progression traitor some items were only available with a minimum number of (normally 25) players in the round. These items were: - The dual esword - Noslip shoes - The ebow - Holoparasite - Sleeping Carp - Contractor Kit - Maybe a couple of others that I forgot to write down When we moved to a progression system this concept was merged with reputation; under 20 players your reputation would advance more slowly thus making these "dangerous" items less obtainable and also serving as a sort of scaling factor on rewards (with fewer players the secondary objectives are easier to complete, so the reward is commesurately lower). Now that we have removed secondary objectives this doesn't really make sense any more, so now reputation simply advances at a rate of one second per second all the time, but that leaves the old population locks in question. So... I just recoded items that are only available when there are enough players   (This iconography simply vanishes once the pop level is reached). Note that this is based on "players who have joined" (roundstart + latejoin), not "players who are online" or "players who are alive". Once an item becomes available it will never stop being available, but it only becomes available based on people who are playing and not watching. Currently the only items I applied this to (with a value of 20 players) are: - Dual esword - Sleeping Carp - Spider Extract (the spider antagonist usually requires like 27 players) - Romerol It isn't applied to anything else. ## Why It's Good For The Game Reputation isn't really a tool used to designate how dangerous an item is any more (if it ever was) and resultingly it doesn't make any sense to slow its gain based on population. Some items though we maybe still don't want to show up in a "low pop" round because they'll create an overall unsatisfying experience, so we should be able to remove those items from play. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Traitor reputation now advances at a fixed rate, not dependent on current server population. balance: The dual esword, sleeping carp scroll, spider extract, and romerol vial cannot be purchased if fewer than 20 players have joined the game. /🆑
