Limb Disabling Stun-Prods

Post by Shadowflame909 » #640679

We all like long fights. Best fights are when they're evenly matched and anyone can win. Stun-batons are controversial and whoever you ask might have something different to say about them.

BUT this idea is not about them.

Change to Stun-Prods: 1. They fit in your backpack now.

2. Instead of fully stunning you, if you get a hit on someone it disables a limb for 20 - 30 seconds. Antag now is either limping or can only attack with one hand. Crippling, but not entirely unable to defend themselves!

Thoughts?

The idea of being able to disable limbs sounds interesting at the surface level and like something to consider on a tactical level in general. Something like:

I could shoot someone multiple times in the chest with a disabler for the traditional stun, or a couple less times in the arm to get them disarmed. A leg to slow them during a chase.

It doesn't have to just be batongs.

Yeah I don't see it happening either.

Darn you batons shortening the length of my fights!

I would like some recourse for the eventuality that one dude with 2 in his backpack just deletes my arms.

This is my time travelling solution to a baton nerf

If they paralyse two random limbs at a time instead of one you can really hinder someone from attacking or moving. Will leave the other option available though!
