Anyone using the stun baton?

[Odzianna]

I haven't used it too much, but seems like a neat way to save some ammo and spank some regular MT's with it, but how does it perform well against bosses or other AC? I imagine against a boss that only gives you tiny windows of opportunities the baton won't really do much, huh?

Certainly able stunlock LC & HC if debuff them first with it's charged melee.

Laser Dagger later on does the similar but with better raw power. Stun Baton is just for those that want to run the Shock effect which seems to be more PvP focused, but still falls a bit short.

Stick to other melees unless you specifically use melee to beat on grunts repeatedly.

[No me llamo]

if you use the non charge attack (attack multiple times) you can do a good amount of damage on STAGGERED enemies it seems

[Odzianna]

Makes me wish we could have one baton in the left and right hand at once to play the drums on the enemy

[Kurobon]

it's trash, it inflicts "bleed" but it's fixed dmg once it procs.

I love and hate it. If enemies did not start dodging 0.2 seconds after a stagger it would ♥♥♥♥ up so much ♥♥♥♥ because the multi swing has some really high direct hit combo value.

But when you nail the charged attack and they explode a moment later from the delayed shock blast is some real fist of the north star ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Though the deeper you get the less likely that is to trigger a kill or stagger.

REAL fast cooldown so it is a good fodder beatstick. But it still needs too many swings to deal with shield MT compared to the knife. learned that the hard way in redguns funhouse.

Stun handgun is far better. Double stun handguns and double needle cannons and you can annihilate ACS in .2 seconds.

[Odzianna]

Yeaaah, probably, but I'm not that far yet. Gotta give everything a try anyway

I like to whisper, "The Safe Word is Police Brutality," whenever I use it.

Bleed? Isn't that acs anomaly? I thought electric discharge make em explode to stagger?

[Odzianna]

Yeaaah, these rascals can be grateful it is just a stun baton and not a weapon...!

[REBirthTheEdge]

My only problem is the range, but I like it as a kinetic whombo combo.

[MadArtillery]

It's okay. Instant electric proc with the charge attack and it can do a lot of swings on the basic attack. Not going to blow any minds but not bad either as a weapon.

[Odzianna]

Can whack regular MT's pretty nicely, I just haven'tmanaged yet to bring it to a proper AC-fight. But I unlocked the Arena-B-rank now, so that could be fun

[nubi]

i use it, the charge attack is really good if you can land it and it has high direct hit damage, down side is its range.
