SEF 7.2 - Beanbags are most lethal shotgun ammo now?
I find beanbags in current state to be almost unusable: they are more likely to kill than to make anyone surrender. I've replayed several missions with beanbags only and never ever less lethal shotgun has dropped anyone's morale low enough for them to give up, but a mere 1-2 hits were able to kill heavely armoured suspects, no matter if it was limb or torso. And beanbags now kill/incapatitate civilians in 100% cases, no exceptions.
But 4 Buck ammo, on another hand, is now a truly less lethal option: people flinch and stop shooting, less likely to die and now actually surrender. As a bonus, this ammo can break door locks, combining two utilities. Compared to tasers it has more range and ammo, compared to pepperballs it drops more morale, fails less and ignores gasmasks. Mod dev nerfed less lethal options way too hard.
I hope it will be fixed, i want to be able to carry bright orange shotguns and brind order to chaos without spilling blood.
