Anyway, this was in the context of stunning enemies
I was talking in general. That's the point of divergence than.
Basically to sum up what my point is its that for its time and place, that being an early to mid era underwater weapon that can stun as well the dart rifles are really good. And they don't really grow obsolete in that role until you get blasta rifles as your DPS and small launchers for stunning. Which can be quite a while. All of which combines to make them some of the best weapons in the game balance vise. Right up there with the Black Ops SMG and the MGL.
Knockout Grenade.
Thanks. Somehow I succeeded in completely missing that one. O_o
Indeed. But they're the safe high-damage, high-penetration option for when you really need to capture a tough enemy.
I kind of just flood the enemy with smoke and bumrush them with bioelectric tazers.
I have been meaning to give them a go but the combination of heavy weight and general unwieldability has always put me off. A taser pistol is something you can pocket and still have a primary weapon.
You mean this: "It can also be used underwater"? That's definitely not 'purely underwater'.
Fair enough. I admit to remembering wrong.
Milkors and regular GLs are only better with aimed shots at long ranges. Snaps are mostly worse, both for accuracy and TU. And the regular blunt ammo (as opposed to TGL) isn't too reliable at one-shotting, while electric darts are pretty consistent at two-shotting. Long-range, arcing fire and the ability to use other ammo is what makes them better, IMO. Plus reloading that also eats TU. TGL is where it's really no longer remotely competitive.
They are however far more versatile because they can provide you with smoke, HE or other forms of cover as well. It's kind of like how Taser Pistols are generally not great as stun weapons but the fact you can give one to each soldier for very little weight and inventory space just makes them a workhorse for me.
These effing canines seem to be the answer to everything. 😢
I am yet to try using dogs or any animals. Also, just how do you equip tamed minotaurs? I have 3 in my inventory just chilling.
