![]() Much can be said of the efficiency and precision of the “Metal Gear” series’ Tranquilizer Pistols, but there’s one weapon that manages to top it in terms of sheer fun factor. “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots” (2008) Setting aside the matter of this concept being in good taste or not, it’s a fascinating idea for a weapon and utterly audacious in its execution. This weapon blasts its targets with pheromone shots that cause quite the powerful emotional reaction – girls exposed to enough of the pheromone pass out due to overwhelming ecstasy. Killing said girls is out of the question, so the game requires a less bloody approach. In the “Gal*Gun” games, the male heroes tend to get hit with love arrows and chased by every female student within close proximity. Well, we’ve certainly never seen weaponized arousal before, so that’s something. The Gas Arrows’ status as the most expensive of arrow variants is intimidating, to be sure, yet they’re well worth the price paid or the effort made to find them during missions. Not only can these arrows immediately knock unconscious most humans and various creatures, they can also put out torches and be applied to non-combat situations. Standing out is the Gas Arrow variation, which can be quite the aid so long as supplies last. All things considered, it’s a fun way to battle foes and not worry about the troubling implications of mass slaughter.Īcross the original three “Thief” games, arrows prove a very helpful tool in dealing with adversaries and overcoming the maze-like levels. On top of that, the Ray doesn’t harm those enemies blasted, with mortal injury only occurring should Duke step on them. The Shrink Ray fires quickly and maintains its effectiveness on everything but bosses, thus making for a good means of crowd control. As the name implies, the weapon zaps any targeted enemy and reduces their size significantly. Over the course of his alien-slaying journey, Duke Nukem obtains a great many tools of the trade – including the unusual Shrink Ray. Whichever one you come across, though, it’s a good addition to your toolbelt. The PAX-22’s utility as a long-range, life-preserving weapon proved endearing enough for the tranquilizer rifle concept to appear again in “Mankind Divided”, in the form of the TRQ 203-C Longsword. The rifle is built to be aimed carefully and purposefully, since each dart’s sedative has a delay of several seconds unless fired at the head. One of the most notable firearms introduced in the 2011 game “Deus Ex: Human Revolution” was the PAX-22 Tranquilizer Rifle, loaded with non-fatal darts that fire one at a time. ![]() It doesn’t accrue the penalties that more traditional firearms would bring about, it works both as an effective means of combating individuals, and it balances police responsibility with a capable arsenal. ![]() What makes the Beanbag a good weapon is that, despite lacking the threat of lethal ammunition, it still disorients those targeted long enough to be properly captured. “SWAT 4” offers the Beanbag as a type of shotgun ammo, fitting in with the theme of subduing and detaining criminals above all. If you want to get the most out of a game simulating the life and times of SWAT officers, then pay close attention. It's so useful in fact that Japanese officers in the Kokubo Sosho level of “Chaos Theory” make use of the Sticky Shocker, posing a distinct threat to Sam. It also has the capability to bounce off surfaces or spread its charge across bodies of water, allowing for a number of unconventional strategies to be explored. When shot at a target, the Shocker proceeds to administer a powerful electric current which immediately knocks the individual out. right? Jokes aside, the Sticky Shocker attachment for the SC-2000 rifle really is a wonderful device in NSA operative Sam Fisher’s arsenal. What the world really needs is a shock to its system. Whether it relies on advanced portal technology or more familiar sleep-inducing drugs, these weapons always manage to avoid crossing that one line.
