Does tazer run out of charge ? It doesn't show its current charge like a stunbaton.
Tazer has no charge.

yes. You just have to keep shooting it. A lot.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Oh, I thought they lasted infinitely. Have you ever used up all the charge of a tazer?

No. If I did, I'd have been given a permaban because I was on probation and it'd be generating a lot of combat logs. But Apop did say you need to fire the tazer like, 200, maybe 900 times?

...No. No it cannot. The purpose for it is to hold more bayonets, which you're probably going to lose in the process of being escorted or to embedding (in which case, you done fucked up!)

Well it's come in steps we've seen glimpses into it with the chitin armor and anti acid spray.
Those were pre-the rework. I doubt they'll resurface because marines don't get buffs, they get trade-offs.

You can't. It's only on the HUD and not a Verb that you can macro.

Do you know the macro to quickly grab the shotgun off your back and ready it for when I get pounced with a mag harness on my shotgun?

You can't do that either. You can macro picking stuff up from the ground, but nothing from your inventory.

I believe devs are trying to push macros away from CM, but that's something that I cannot really confirm. Better to wait for a dev to explain. The removal of .click came in conjunction with the experimental click update from a bit ago.

iirc people were abusing .click to do too much at once. Example: fire nade launcher at tile in front of you, pick up nade, throw nade, instant explosion. I think people also had some instant or near instant reloading macros. I'm sure there's plenty more examples out there.

I do miss toggle darksight and run/walk toggle as xeno, however.

Do you know the macro code for picking up weapons off the ground, I remember seeing it a while ago but can't find it anymore.
