Bottom post of the previous page:
The only real reason I see that is against all this again seems to be over LEGACY and the fact there isn't more prominent stamina-damaging things. Which is because whenever its been tried, this happens, and the only thing we get for some reason are disabler shots.As for not fighting with their fists? Play the fucking game sometime, you see greys and others wrestling routinely with tabling and throwing/juggling chairs.
Would a compromise help, maybe have the fists do stamina/brute both, much like many of the syndicate bullets? I don't know what they do right now, lets just say its... 5 brute, straight, per punch. Make that 2 brute, 2-4 stamina. Meaning if you're punching an officer in the chest, he's likely just toughing out your actual damage but you Are tiring him out with the stamina by physically hitting him. Aiming for his legs/arms/head will make more difference, because then things like Jackboots might do the same and prevent some of the brute, while the helmets will obviously do what its intended to do like the vest and tank the brute for the most part and maybe even the stamina. You Are punching a big metal helmet, should actually be one of those things that harms you.
