Comments
I want to agree because having the same addons that all do different tiers of the same thing is bloat, so it'd be nice if they did more unique and useful things ESPECIALLY with diminishing returns now.
Flashlight addons should have gotten the same/similar treatment as Keys long ago. 13 addons is simply ridiculous.
As for Toolboxes and Medkits, there is more nuance.
Toolboxes in particular should keep the number of addons above 10, as they serve a dual purpose.
Medkits could use some trimming, but not to the extent you presented.
agree
There is 2 kinds of people using medkits
1. One heal (majority)
2. 2 heal
If you want 1 heal, then grab medical scissors and maybe suture or something and you have fast heal
By trimming addons like i suggested, getting 2 heals would require Surgical suture and gauze and hitting those skill checks. We could probably buff gauze to 16 charges if needed or buff suture to its combo value of 25% and 15%, So that its possible even if you get lower number of skillchecks. But instead if getting 2 heals no matter what, you would need to get those skillchecks, and you would heal faster, so its a win win
The only thing i see that could be an issue is numbers, because i didnt test anything.
Also, we could made syringe addon similar to bnp, where it doesnt remove medkit, but an addon
WIth toolboxes, i think i trimmed them pretty well. If you want sabo, go for Alex, Hacksaw, Wire spool or protective gloves, Fast repair is engineer wire spool and socket or BNP and normal tooblox is jack of all trades. Its how they are used either way (except instead of engi you can see commodious). And you get Scraps addon in protective gloves since if you add it to wire spool engi tool box you get only 1 less charge. With normal toolbox its same value
Both ways of using toolboxes are covered and sabo would be even better, since you have 2 sabo addons fused
