Actually, all three sharksuits were damaged on that mission. Ulrich was bisected, and the other guy lost an arm. The neutered sharkmist only eats organic material that comes into contact with the damaged area, and only to restore itself to its original non-damaged shape. The undamaged area won't absorb anything.

Combined with the excellent efficiency of sharkmist and the thinness of the sharksuit, it's like, a pound of fat re-used, no biggy.

You're kinda pushing past the limits of "agree to disagree" there, friendo.

And it doesn't eat you yet. Then you walk through a cloud of pot smoke, your armor gets the munchies, and you're gonna get nommed on like some ER-brand Doritos. I won't fall for it!
Alas, my Machiavellian plot has been foiled! Woe is me!

(Sorry, I won't push it further. I hoped that to be sort of funny enough without much real pushing.)

@Kri I know, and I just gave up on realistic vacuum exposure in ER. ER has cinematic explosive decompression, ostensibly that's how Piecewise want it, so that's it. MCP creation was the best Pyro could convince him on this matter.

Not really? I think PW has usually played the decompression decently true, though I may misunderstand what you mean by 'explosive decompression' in this context.

We've very rarely had someone just get their suit punctured, especially if they weren't in a MKII+. If they were in a MKII+, the iris worked. Depending on damage, they severed or sealed the limb, and things went on as normal. If they're in a MKI, they asphyxiate if it isn't a small hole, and with this game it's *rarely* a small hole. And usually has a gaping wound behind it, which removes the skin as a useful pressure barrier.

We've also had surprisingly few missions in vacuum. Other hostile environments, yeah, but not vacuum. 1-3 and 19 are the only ones that immediately come to mind, and I'm not sure about 2. Discounting 8's brief trip to space.
I might be wrong, you might be right, or Piecewise might have had fewer chances to show how decompression works lately (on Mk I suits, I mean). Oh well, I concede defeat in this argument, we don't have Mk Is around anymore.

Uncon, unless you're using a grande launcher, which is Con.
Edit: Although throwing a rock is Dex+Str, so I'm not 100% certain.

Actually, all three sharksuits were damaged on that mission. Ulrich was bisected, and the other guy lost an arm. The neutered sharkmist only eats organic material that comes into contact with the damaged area, and only to restore itself to its original non-damaged shape. The undamaged area won't absorb anything.
But what happens if a sharkmist suit shrapnel gets embedded on your skin? Wouldn't the damaged area be in contact with your skin then? Wouldn't that mean it starts growing inside you and will eventually burst out like a mix of Alien with a fashion movie?

Well, I'm more-or-less okay at most of those things so I shouldn't blow myself up. Probably. *shrug*
Thanks!

Piecewise said tossing grenades and things in general is dexterity for aim and strength for how far it goes.

Just a heads up RC, Thaddeus probably won't be going on mission 22, seeing as how he is part of the Gesalt abomination. We still need to figure some things out among ourselves.

Noted, I changed the wiki accordingly.
