Title: Shoot then Stun: Does it still work in 2.3
Post by: talon on June 02, 2010, 12:17:50 am

One of the tactics of the classic x-com was to shoot an alien with a low power weapons like the laser pistol and then use the stun rod

We have both the choke grendaes and latter then electro taser
 but in the beginning for Ufo:AI when you have the stun rod can you use the shoot stun method

Yes. There is always the risk of killing the alien with the shot, but if it's an ortnok, it's not going to give a damn about low damage weapons like the machine pistol unless you fire a full burst.
