Gas seems useless

[Atomicus]

I've noticed since the new dlc dropped that gas no longer seems effective. I deploy a canister inside a tiny room with a suspect in it (no gas mask) and they don't get affected by this. What gives?

He's talking about gas grenades... not gas mask.... what are you on about?

Suspects are still affected by CS gas, but the problem is that they run away from the gas zone pretty fast and then attack you. I use the CS gas grenades for control, for example if there are 3+ surrendered suspects around me and no one can cover me, so I gas them and can arrest them one by one safely. Or to block a doorway, so some roaming suspect won't rush me when I arrest or being supressed from another angle. In any other way flashbangs are just superior.

The recent patch notes confirmed my suspicions. Sometimes AI would ignore gas if it was deployed by launcher.
