You can research the Stun Baton for this.  There's already talk of developing other methods too.

I for one would be grateful for methods other than using a stun rod. I can remember the first time I tried to use one in the original xcom -It was my first mission against the snakemen, lol. I switched to the stun grenade launcher afterwards and never looked back.

I think ranged stun weapons are more practical. Aside from the stun baton or giving the grenade launcher stun grenades, non-lethal bullets used in riot control would be a good inspiration. The effectiveness of them against armored targets might drop a bit but you could also go for piercing dart guns.

While ranged stun weapons would be welcome (an electrolaser is apparently being developed to fill this niche) between flashbangs and smoke grenades it is easily possible to capture aliens with melee variants.

Idea:  It might also make the game more interesting if some stun weapons only worked on some types of aliens (Or only some types of ammo for a ranged stun weapon.)

This could also mean that some aliens might not be possible to capture alive until later in the course of the game.  (Not sure if this was brought up already, I actually didn't read the whole plot as I didn't want to spoil the entire experience.)

I have to disagree. It wouldn't make the game more fun, it would only make the game more tedious.
