Taser is currently not a viable weapon

[TopHatPenguin]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): So this is me trying to apprehend one marine..

Now i know tasers aren't meant to be great.. but 6 shots with a taser and they finally go down is abit excessive if you are in combat or being shot at so i propose it receives a buff so that it won't take this many just to incapacitate one marine.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Mp's will be able to actually catch a bad guy without being shot up completely by the bad guy with a lethal weapon.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Buff the taser so it's viable to take someone down.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):Coding and such.

I understand that Mp's have other tools like the stun baton and flashbang.. but when a bad guy is running away it's ridiculously hard to hit them 6 times so that they go down and can be arrested.

+1 I think it's also reduced by armor

It's baycode tasers.

QED: Baycode tasers are god awful.

[Mycroft Macarthur]

six shots? thats fuckin bullshit, in MY day you got shot ONE TIME and you were down

[SASoperative]

+1. In my day you got shot once and you were down and in pain crit for a little while.

This is the difference between Baycode's stunning and any other servers stunning system for the most part.

Security needs to be able to do their jobs against ravenous marines with guns.

Re-add back in the old CM's taser coding if you can.. Mp's need that one shot against law-breaking marines with bullets and guns

[Dyne]

There was a time when tasers one-shot every living bean on Bay. Then it was decided to even up the odds a bit, and taser deals "pain" dissolved by protection a person is wearing.

If that part of the code was "borrowed" without change you wont be able to stun a person in an EVA suit, for example.

History lessons apart +1 on buffing taser to take down an armored marine in 1-3 shots.

[Jack McIntyre]

I would agree with this, previously I thought the MPs would be fine with their standard gear, but I only played a week on here and only mp once. +1 from me, I am used to the one shot tazer and that is why you will usually see me on other servers just carrying my tazer unless I am fighting xenos just because it is a good weapon to have and I like it old school! Lol

[GingerCultLeader]

I watched a marine prisoner riot out of his jail cell and slaughter two MPs easy. +1 to stronger MP tasers.

Confirmed. We'll boost them.

[apophis775]

IMPLEMENTED. Tasers are now useful again. however, they have NO affect on preds. So, enjoy that.
