Handcuffs
We need a way to break out of cuffs, be it the ole fashioned SS13 2minute stay still timer or something else.
Being cuffed by an NPC because you accidently shot the medic who bum rushed at the mudraptor means you're literally out of the game pernamently.

This is correct. Being handcuffed is essentially one of this games worst design/fun failures, and you get permanently locked out of playing for the rest of a round. Control freaks defend it, but there's really no reason that 2 minutes unattended and holding shouldn't let you break out of the cuffs.

You have to take precautions to make sure you don't accidentally shoot someone. Your crew is like your family. If your dumbass brother bum-rushed a mudraptor, would you shoot him AND the mudraptor? Hopefully not. If you would, then I sure as hell would handcuff your ass.

If i was the Ai, i would have ejected you out of the airlock because anyone who shoots a team mate deserves death, Who in their life ever says, I shot you accidentally or it was a prank bro, same words. Death is the only punishment on my server.

If you will be able to brake free of handcuffs then whats the point of handcuffs?
I actually never was handcuffed in this game, mostly because i look where i shoot.
I heard rumors of "accidental" fire, but never encountered it myself, so im not sure how you managed it

Because Accidental fire is called murder and if you don't realize its murder then you also get charged with negligence. Which is more reason you should be in cuffs lol.

AI running in front of you at blazing speed to feed themselves to a mudraptor isn't Realistic my dude. Nobody would do that.

Not really murder, more akin to manslaughter.

Don't bring in realism when the game is literally lovecraftian horror: the game

Depends on how you bend that realism and expectation in the end.
Like breaking out of cuffs that oughta be very durable.

Exactly. If you want a feature modded to your specifications, that's fine, but don't act like the devs are wrong for giving players the tools they need to combat griefers and actual traitors.

Stop being caustic. It was a suggestion.
Go home.

Handcuffs are a great case of tools used by griefers and megalomaniac ♥♥♥♥-curity (which are just as big a problem as griefers, if not worse) to ruin rounds. Dying is one thing, but being trapped in handcuffs doesn't even let you spectate the game. Handcuffs are just complete sensory deprivation since you're usually locked in one room.
Actual tools to deal with griefers are things like moderation tools. Handcuffs being unbreakable are just an opportunity for security (or whoever stuns someone and accesses their inventory) to be sadistic, which they usually are.
