Description:

Sometimes, less lethal violence is the answer, however I wish we had some more options. I guess that’s how we ended up here.

I haven’t changed much since the existing content is in a good place so all it just needed a few tweaks and some new content.

The taser now has better range, the rubber pistol hits harder, and both got an accuracy buff.

For new content, we’ve got:
– A rubber shotgun for non-lethal close-quarters takedowns.
– A wall-mounted taser turret to handle prisoners and drop pod raids by stunning and eventually downing pawns.
– A tear gas launcher that applies a debuff to support the rest of your defense.

I highly recommend:
– Prisoners Should Fear Turrets – So your taser turret actually keeps prisoners from escaping. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2602436826
– Setting the death on down chance to 0% – So downed enemy pawns don’t have a chance to just die.
