Steam Workshop::TTT Traitorfier

steamcommunity.com steamcommunity.com
Do your T buddies keep dying early in the round? Tired of being lonely in end game clutch or kick scenarios?

The 'Traitorfier" let's you turn any silly old innocent or detective into a traitor, with the simple low price of harvesting traitor blood followed by a quick stab with an infused knife. If you can't find a Traitor's corpse to harvest blood from, you can also sacrifice 65 health to self infuse the knife, albeit on a longer cooldown until you can infect a victim.

While this tool has the face value application of increasing your team's size, there's a lot fun silly end game common sense scenarios you can disrupt/other chicanery to pull off with it. To balance such a tool (I think it'd be fun to play with for a seasonal update and rotate it out), it might be worth considering limiting purchases on a team basis to 2-3 a round at most. However, Demonic Possession wasn't capped and was a much more selfish thing, and yet didn't throw things too far out of balance of the standard flow.

I almost like it better as a Detective item.

Harvest the blood of another dead Detective or self infuse, and then convert an Innocent to a Detective.

In the event you try and convert a Traitor it won't work, and will instead initiate a poison effect that will kill the Traitor after some time.

this is hot too
 
Jabba’s version helps to not encourage game throwing, but a (technically) 1 hit kill when shot anywhere THAT ALSO ONLY HAPPENS TO TRAITORS is kinda crazy. Maybe make it 60-80 dmg? Also currently they will know as soon as it doesn’t convert them so maybe a timer for the conversion is necessary.

Could just make it kill the detective if he chooses to trust the wrong man for more counter play
 
My reasoning for transitioning it to a Detective item is that the traitors already have so much at their disposal, and we plan on bringing the Defib into play soon. It'd be rough if the Traitors could revive themselves and convert people. I wanted to give the Detectives a bit more of an edge.

The timer could work, I know people hate the Golden Deagle, for good reason, which is why I didn't want it insta-killing the Traitor when hit with a Detective Hotshot. A non-lethal amount of damage could be considered, but then it just becomes meta to jab wounded people, so if they are evil they die anyway.

I know there was a lot of outcry on suggestions about marking people 'proven' for free, which a detective item of this nature would do naturally by making the people blue for all to see and appreciate.

Pending Thread 'automatically mark innocents that kill identified traitors as "friend"'

Alright, you read the title of this suggestion. You might have some big feelings, that immediately gravitate towards skipping the following paragraphs and hastily typing a reply about how the piss colored guy made a silly and bad suggestion. You might no feelings at all, and be willing to read a lengthy post about an idea that could alter game balance a tad. Please, let me hold your hand and walk you through the ins and outs of what this could mean.
"automatically mark innocents that kill traitors as "friend"" would do exact that. If I kill a bad guy during a firefight, whether it's...

Rejected Thread 'Automatically Mark Innos That Test As “Friend” To Everyone On The Server'

Testers doing that would be sick as hell for both innos and Traitors. It would give a huge incentive for innos to test, and create a target rich environment for traitors to get jihads, grenades, and other sick kills.

I think having to spend a credit + use your own blood/another detective's blood to empower another player with inherently proven status is enough investment. You could add a longer "infusion time" for the tool to do its job to give traitors a fighting chance against a one hit kill/some hit kill.
