Notes

  • A tazer does not need to be wielded to be used - fire it by applying it towards an adjacent enemy. Causes 5-25 (uniformly distributed) damage and stops the target from moving for number of turns proportional to damage (equal to damage for a speed 100 monster, more for slower and less for faster). Requires an attack roll and still drains charges if it misses.
  • Consumes 100 batteries per use.
  • Has only 1 volume, but loads 500 batteries (5 volume total).
  • If used against the player, will always damage torso.
  • Can be put into a boots knife slot. (Was removed in 0.D (Danny))
  • As of 0.D (Danny), batteries used to charge the tazer can no longer be removed, can be charged using a UPS-compatible recharging station.
  • Can drop from various Robots.
  • This is a surprisingly great weapon against the zombie hulk, as it can stun the hulk, making it vulnerable to a barrage of gunshots as it is stunned, especially since the taser does not need to be wielded and so the firearm can.
