Make stun batons stun someone when you throw it at him - bigfatbananacyclops - 05-01-2016
Allow the stun batons to stun someone when you throw it at someone, activated, it would be cool,if it annoys, thats why SMES human and Stimpacks exist, i really think it would be cool.

This is why stun baton pies exist

Just gotta turn a stun baton on, bake it into a pie, fling it at someone.
Don't throw it with harm intent on or you'll stun yourself from across the room.

The stunbaton itself is not meant to be a ranged implement - you have tasers for a reason.
Stun pies are fine if you go out of your way to make/procure it.

but it'd add more tension! just imagine how exciting it'd be if you manage to arrest a guy by winging your baton at him in a last ditch effort to subdue him

Agreed. Stun weapons in general are already really powerful so much so that they are border line OP IMO. It took them forever to balence confused movement and item dropping two things i still feel never needed to be in the game but its no where near as bad as when these two "features" were first added. (I made two threads on that subject where i went into great detail about it) Making them anymore powerful would be a terrible idea. You want to throw a baton? Make a stun baton pie what you wanted is already in the game

I think if bows ever become craftable, having a dedicated stun arrow could be a fun way of revisiting throwing stun batons, without actually adding thrown stun batons.

I can't wait to add the Teal Arrow to the list of knock-off station superheros.

Bows with custom arrows would be amazing
