Phosphorous Nades Properties !!111!1

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

It has too many uses and not just 1 or 2 clear uses like all other gadgets.

Nope. Put it near something that interacts with the spies and when the spy intercats it gives the spies position away.

I'm thinking this would be utterly useless and too obvious, or in some places overpowered.  Make a new thread, it needs some more discussion but this isn't the place.  Let's see where this could go.  I say you make this a secondary use to the PD. (yes a secondary to a secondary gadget)  Instead of just detecting spies it would have a different function when put near useable devices.  It wouldn't detect spies.  It would do what you suggest.  However, when not put near things like this it functions normally.  That way it's a gadget we already have, but it gives a boost to a gadget that clearly needed one.

presence detectors need no boost except increasing the amount.

What do spies even use in this game? I only hack stuff, or hack the steam vents. Not really much else.

[Gawain]

you usually get a hacking alert and it's not that hard to figure out what's being hacked.

[Farley4Fan]

Yeah that's what I don't about this gadget.  They do need a boost, but I'm not sure this is the right way.  There's a reason why laser traps are used way more often than PD's.  It's because they are more efficient most of the time and have more use.

What if PD didn't tell the spy that it detected him?

[Farley4Fan]

Hmmm, that would require a bit of testing to see if that would really be a good change.  Again, that's something that wouldn't require much work and would be easy to test.  I'm sure us testers (I mean the community) has plenty of time to test right?  First we'd need to discuss it a little more because we may think of something that could make this bad.  It's late lol, I might not make that much sense.

[Gawain]

What if PD didn't tell the spy that it detected him?

that's kind of a good thought. spytraps tag the spy for over a minute and don't alert the spy in any way, so why should pd's do this?
another good boost possibility would be to remove the sound and just have it light up periodically in thermal vision.

plz don't forget that this thread is about ph nades...

[Farley4Fan]

Sometimes you want the spy to know he was detected to scare him away from that area.  It depends though...

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

No. You want the spy to either die... or die.
Scaring spies away with PDs is pretty much nonsense, because this gives him way too much possibilities.
