If you were to inspect your defibs, I would imagine one of them being if you were to “stick your finger on the part that shocks”

Kira and Arty should point their designators into closest teammate’s eyes. Whats the fun in post apocalyptic mercenary work without a little eye trauma from time to time.

The cool thing is I totally see all these anims in my head already from the first person perspective. Very clever. They’d look so good in game and would add so much more character depth! We can always dream. :stuck_out_tongue:

Fletcher fiddles with his detonator, and with his stickies, he tosses it into the air once, the second time it’s stuck so he has to use his free hand for it to unstick, with audible removing of tape/adhesive noises.

Or maybe turning it over and blinding themselves for a second while cleaning the pointer.

the phantom proxy and vasili ones make me smile and want them

(Your worst knifemare.) #27

If vassili has a cricket bat he could take some pratice swings at his sensor.

Also wouldnother players be able to see the fancy inspection?

Aimee looks deeply into the lens of her third eye camera and curiously taps it.

Stoker shakes his molotov, audible viscus “slushing” going on inside.

(bontsa) #33

Isn’t white phosporus something that sets ablaze once in contact with oxygen or something? How about Stoker being quite a “daredevil” and scratching & poking & fingertap the container glass.

(Ballto) #34

Stoker uses napalm in his molotov grenades, which does not catch fire upon exposure to oxygen.

(joshstylegaming) #35

Ideas:
Proxy spins a mine on her finger similarly to how a basketball player does with a ball, before giving it a light toss and catching it.
Nader spins the barrels on her grenade launcher like most people do revolvers
Kira uses the dot display on the orbital strike marker to display small images of either herself, or the orbital lazer
Phantom tries to input the bomb planting code on his refractive armor

Weird, I could’ve sworn his bio points towards stuff being white phosphorus since that’s what he has history with. Although he does say “napalm” in a quote or 2.

Guess somebody more familiar with both these substances physical attributes must join this gimmicky conversation. For all I know both of them are a huge b!tch to extinguish since they burn even underwater.

Pheonix’s nanobots turn into a little hologram of pheonix and wave, and pheonix waves back.

(HunterAssassin5) #38

These are all very interesting but I think they may not be possible because every gun inspect animation runs off a few generic animations, with only different models, so individual ability inspect animations might be…hard. I’d certainly enjoy it, and he’ll, it might even be necessary to make individual one-use animations for some of the abilities, but I have a feeling most throwing abilities will have the same inspect animation and Fletcher’s sticky trigger will have the same animation as pistol inspect.

Redeye should take off his goggles and swing them around a bit, or fog them up accidentally with his smoke grenade and has to wipe them

Phosphorous comes in four different forms known as allotropes. It is technically an element, but unlike other elements it doesnt really exist as free atoms, meaning they can take different structures, causing them to form in different ways and colours.

The two most common types are red phosphorus and white, with more rare kinds being violet and black.

While theyre all flammable, red black and violet are pretty stable, and need to be messed with a bit to cause them to combust. A good example of this is red phosphorus in matchbook strikepads. The friction of you striking the match against the pad causes small bits of the phosphorus to chip off and spark, igniting the match head, which is usually sulfer based

White phosphorus is highly unstable in an oxygen environment, causing it to combust really easily, which is what makes it good as a weapon in warfare seeing as you just need to keep it contained until you need to expose it to air, creating a lot of heat and toxic smoke for signals or incendiary warfare. Even though its technically an incendiary weapon, most of which are prohibited under several international laws, its still used often by both groups that dont care about international laws, like allegedly ISIS and Hamas, and unless shit changed in the past couple years since i was reading about it more the US. It is being looked at to just be outright banned like napalm was.

All allotrops of phosphorus are usually used by humans in the form of a solid, usually a powder, not a liquid or a gas.

Napalm on the other hand is a chemical compound originally developed by the US in 1942 by a group of chemists at Harvard, which was kept secret until it started seeing wide use.

Napalm is a mixture of a gelling agent and petroleum and always comes as a thick liquid.

Unlike phosphorus napalm always needs some other source of flame or other kind of spark to ignite it,i as it will not ignite just under open air. Stokers molotovs most likely are an alternative composition containing a pyrophoric compound (like triethlaluminium) to aid in its ignition when he throws it. Napalm is also much more useful indoors to white phosphorus, as when it burns it does not release gasses that are as immediately toxic as those released by white phosphorous, as well as causing areas to deoxygenate much faster, releasing large amounts of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, which are easier to clear from a room (open a window and breathe through a towel when it burns out)

Napalm is what usually was used inside of Flamethrowers, as it was a cheap effective fuel for it that wouldnt spray like a cat pissing like normal gasoline, and stuck to personnel.

Napalm is banned under the geneva conventions and several other international laws, meaning when stoker was in the military he probable used white phosphorus, but since different laws apply to PMC soldiers, he can probably get away with using napalm so long as he is not caught with it by actual authorities.
