How to stun critters

[Tasslehoff]

I can kill them easy with the starter cannon but do you need a special stun gun or something. I've been trying to figure out the green'health and red bleed/stun bars but can't seem to capture'stun anything.

Some lander mod let you stun them.
You just can't do it with starter cannon.

Ah thanks for the info, much appreciated.

I was able to buy a lander stun weapon from the galactic bazaar in the ship outfitters menu while i was there. I assume that can also be done at the Maelnir traders but i am not sure.

What's the point of stunning a critter? Is there a quest somewhere that requires this?

It was fun killing a couple of hundred critters early on to sell for some quick RU, but after that it seemed kind of pointless / too time consuming. Sort of in the same category as landing on a planet with resources < 10/15 RU value.

It's definitely nice to see more RU for combat based scenarios - this may reduce grinding.

You can only sell critter meat for 5RU but if you stun & capture a live critter you may sell them at a higher price, prices may vary from 30-60 depending on the critter species

Stunned creatures sell for much more RU than critter meat. Also, it allows for a slightly more peaceful solution of a Mu'Kay quest.

I just found a free Lander Stun Shot on a planet somehwere out on the rim pf you dont want to buy one.

The credits ... in one run i sold over 30k worth of stunned critters and drones on top of what i got from the ore. I do use 1 extra mega capacity cargo module on my ship for that extra storage space.

Some stunned drones sell for 100.

Drones however are way more expensive than critters, some drones are worth like 300 each
