Allow Yautja to use Stunbaton

Post by Sarah_U. » 13 Sep 2016, 21:10

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Considering Yautjas are immune to certain electrical effect, allowing them to partially or fully use the stunbatton would be interesting.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Greatly reduce the sillyness of stunbattons causing Yautjas to be stunlocked for a lenghty time.
Increased options for events, roleplay and strategies.
Realism(?).

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Yautjas either:
- Get a small zap, causing them to be stunned for 1-2 seconds.
- Get a small zap, causing them to receive 1% damage and roar without stun.
- Get no damage, but feel electricity course through them (Optional: Long exposure risk?)

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
[N/A]
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Why does a pred need a stunbaton when most if not all of their weapons have a passive chance to stun on each hit?

I mean I hate to be that guy but I don't see why a pred would need a stunbaton in the first place. (Probably missing something but generally why would you need it? with all the pred gear available as well as disarm intent.)

Preds do have a stun baton in their ship, to note
As for why they would need to use a stun baton,my guess is that they might want to capture some marines, undamaged

"Yautja Stunbaton" that has unlimited charge and stuns both Marines and Xenos, when?

Using the stunbaton on the ship would be nice, yes, but we already have a shorter stun time, and the only time Predators encounter MPs are if they're after a rogue marine on the planet, or SOMEBODY, PERHAPS WITH THE NAME OF JONES, decides to go up on the ship and duel the Command staff. Resistance towards it isn't very needed, as they're not common, and Predators need to have some form of weakness that isn't a massive rocket to the face.

Actually, stun times via baton seem the same as a marine, even flashbangs put you down for a while, the planet HAS flashbangs
