Medic rules

As per the current medic rules, a medic can only use weapons if the other player is posing threat (aiming/shooting him ).
In case a player robs him, he can't even defend himself.
Allow weapon and lethal force in such conditions.

Robbing is not a threat crime, go off-duty and take back your money.

My point is let medic use weapons against those players who robbed him just like normal players.

Doesn't make sense, but I have two counterproposals.

While mugging a paramedic, there should be a 15% chance of the mugger accidentally touching (& getting shocked by) a defibrillator that paramedics sometimes carry on them. That will prevent the mugging from happening and the cooldown on that particular player will still be activated. There will also be a small HP loss, too.

Additionally, mugging a public servant (police, paramedics, firefighters) should trigger an aggravated charge, just like violence against them.

Great suggestion tbh +1

Police also can't attack them why should medics be able to?

police can arrest them tho, a medic can't do that.

Absolutely. In fact, perhaps make a separate EMS weapon loadout, where we would only have a Spray Can, while firefighters only have a Fire Extinguisher and a Chainsaw (the only lethal weapon they'd be allowed to have on duty)? This will require more strict enforcement of rules concerning RDM against EMS though...

Definitely not. What medic is not only allowed, but made to carry a tazer on them while on duty? Makes no sense.

Now that I think about it, maybe I should make a separate suggestion that we make EMS able to "leave their cash in their locker" in the on-call room at the hospital, or at the station? That way, they will be unable to accept or pay cash, and any tips will have to go through the bank. Being mugged by wannabe tough guys while having no option of retaliating while on duty can be really frustrating. There is no way of getting the cash back by the time you go off duty & return to retaliate, even if you take the hassle to do so. The mugger will have just deposited the cash at the nearest ATM & call it quits. The way the system works now makes us very low hanging fruit.
