What's the title of your suggestion?: Weapon rework regarding the Sai

What's your suggestion?:
When looking at the roster of weapons available to gang roleplay community (This post is specific to GangRP/CrimeRP only), the Sai seems to be the least used weapon amongst those available.

The suggestion is easy, rework the Sai to benefit make it worth the 300,000 yen price point that it's sold at (Street/Organized).

My idea is that the Sai would be able to REMOVE ballistic face masks off of an individual regardless if they're awake.

In order to do so you would have to: Approach (if they outrange you) -> Get behind the individual -> Action to remove the mask using the Sai (Say you cut the straps or found a way to loosen the mask using the Sai)

It takes a lot of effort considering that it only has one block of range, but it would provide another reason to use it.

How will this benefit the server and community?:
As far as the weapon goes, it's never used. Now there may be a few individuals who have one and use it from time to time, but the goal would be to make the weapon more popular in order to improve certain aspects of GangRP, and it would help activity between BMD as well as certain gangs.

For roleplay purposes, it's a unique weapon in it's own sense and if it was used properly it could help add a flair to interactions that we may not currently have.

TLDR: It's a fun way to incentivize people to buy the weapon in order to provide a unique twist to how GangRP works right now.

And for the GangRP haters out there, I just like the weapon, don't hate.
 
I've always thought of the Sai Blade as a very situational weapon used for planned gang wars / brawls.

Though this idea would definitely justify its price, it'd be kinda weird to use a Sai to undo the belt holding the ballistic mask together (funnily enough, i thought of the sai blade being used as a lockpick to unlock the ballistic mask's straps :sob:)

It's not necessarily bad in terms of balancing (as a matter of fact, leaving aside the realism argument I do agree with this suggestion), but I think some other alternatives to tweak its worth could be:
  • Reducing its price to 200k-250k due to how situational it currently is
  • Making it so Sai blades are the only weapons that can be dual-wielded, meaning you could use a katana on your main hand and a sai blade on your off hand for disarming
  • Increase its range to 2 blocks, same as pocket knives
