How about a Taser Weapon Gadget?

[Lain]

How about a "Taser" weapon gadget that is similar to the one used by the Taser Unit?

Middle mouse button or the default gadget button to throw the darts and stun the target.

Before saying "It's useless" or "Nobody would use it", this would be literally the first gadget with some use in the game. (Though Angled Sight is somewhat useful)

Why waste money on a laser if i can just hold right mouse button?

(Flashlight is kinda useful in some heists though)

It's simple. Once you hit the darts, the target will be stunned. The effect will end if you get too far from the target and you kill him in 8 seconds (like a normal taser), don't matter his health. (This have some exeptions, when the target, for example, is a objective character like Hector.)

Like the buzzer, it cannot stun dozers or Winters.

How about it?

Tasing would probably be a bit much for a gadget. You're talking the ability to completely shut down a unit for several seconds, possibly even killing them. That's... quite a jump from the other options.

I like the idea of a useable Taser, but it'd probably be a standalone weapon than an attachment.

Why wouldn't I just shoot the gun it's attached to and kill the enemy instantly? The only thing it even remotely had going for it would have been the ability to stun bulldozers, but you don't want it to do that.

Maybe so he can bring the buzzer without using the Buzzer as melee? Only explaination I have to use that over the LED Combo.

With luck, you can stun, for example, Tasers that are stunning you or a enemy when you're on Bleedout.

You can shoot them in bleedout too. You can even through grenades and molotovs.

I used to play Payday 2 without using iron sight a single time, because of my mouse right click being too dead to "hold" (holding was considered as spamming it) and because of weapon accuracy already perfect during pre-crimefest.

And I still shoot without using the iron sight. I only use it for pixel targets (aka snipers).

What if you're out of ammo or you need stop a cloaker from potentially down a teammate who is trying to help you?

That's pretty nice.

I think that starts to get into the extremely situational territory. I can remember the last time I went down with no ammo or throwables and desperately have to kill one enemy who was about to attack my teammate, who also can't take the single enemy out by himself.

Not to mention, even if you needed to reload... how many weapons are there that would take THAT long to reload? Even if it was a Taser, I can only think of two weapons (Flamethrower and Minigun) that wouldn't have enough time to pull it off. You'd have to be completely dry, or your teammate would be weak enough to be downed by a stiff breeze, to have to have to need to use it with all but a couple of weapons. And heck, even the Flamethrower can't USE gadgets, so that leaves the Minigun...

So basically it falls in that odd category of being too powerful for being a gadget while also being fundamentally pointless in all but one in a thousand scenarios. What an odd paradox.

Make it have a cooldown of 10 seconds between tasers then.

I think this would work better as a grenade replacement.

Shock grenade or something idk.
