Ideas to capture an armored guard.

[Horseson Welles]

I took a mission to capture someone and didn't do my research to discover the target would be in armor. I don't believe I have any armor piercing concussive weapons, though I previously acquired a quiet AP Shotgun. Any ideas on how I might want to attack this or items I should be looking out for.
Are there unconentional ways to concussive?

[Horseson Welles]

Nevermind. Turns out my gun was concussive instead anyway.
Still curious if there would be other ways around it though.

space him and do a pickup with your pod.
concussive nades.

Just got out of one of these.

Lured the fella close to a window, shot the glass, then caught him after catching my own bod first. Not sure if they die without air if you're too slow and don't plan finding that little detail out

I have an interesting "perspective" on this one - happened to me once, and I was about to abort the mission, but found in one of the chests a "Swapper Teleporter".
I lured the guard close to my capsule and I myself went in the capsule.
And then activated swapper and slipstream. While guard was trying to exist the capsule, i quickly went inside and pressed E.
Then after I flew back home, turned out that I was able to hand in the guard no problem :D

That is a strong yes, spacing is fun :)

Interesting, but I suppose it makes sense that once you're piloting the pod, the active entities like the guard would go idle. Nice glitch!

I had access to a glitch trap. Throwing them into space and then fetching them with your pod knocks them out. Might help.

[Wrench In The Plan]

The Offworld Angel is capable of pulling spaced people towards your pod, making the "catch with pod" step of the process much easier.

To use the Angel's ability, press the "Use" key (Default E) while controlling it. The range of the ability is displayed as a blue circle centered on the pod.

If you've used the swapper to place a guard in your pod, remotely piloting it before they can get out will also knock them out.

Also if your pod is docked at a breach hole, anyone stood right by the hole will be sucked out into space when the pod leaves.

I would think the acid trap and then a concussion gun would solve this.

[Victoria Yorke]

Concussion hammer will not knock out a armoured enemy, but it will propel him with window-smashing force. Aim your armoured target at a window and you can immediately (and semi-silently) space him for pickup.

Or you do as I do and assanation the pilot and space everyone at the same time Includeing yourself

[Spud the Spud]

Acid trap. It's really that simple. I never use guns of any type, so I'd follow up with a wrench.

Alternatively, you could glitch trap him outside of the ship, while you're in a safe location, and pick him up with your pod via remote control. Another option is the visitor teleporter to put yourself outside, then swapper with him to put HIM outside and you back in his spot, then remote control your pod to pick him up.
