PULL REQUEST DETAILS
About the PR
Taser burst has been removed completely from the taser, alongside all the related sprites and code.
Why's this needed?
I was initially conflicted on if this should nerf it or remove it. I think removing it would be the best. The burst mode makes the taser shotgun basically completely irrelevant. The burst ability of shotgun is only useful close up, unlike burst. While the taser shotgun is more energy efficent, you can just rely on pointblanks with the taser in order to get shots in completely efficently, or if youre good count on your aim. Even from a balance perspective, I dont think itd be possible to get burst to a good state. Increasing the energy cost wouldnt change much, insta-stunning someone is a much higher reward then running out of taser energy and having to use your baton. Making the burst mode no longer one shot stun I feel would just make the mode never be used.
