FLASHBANG OR SOMETHING SIMILAR

Hi Guys. Why isnt there any kind of stun gun in the game. I mean that would be really great and would be really creative gameplays if they added that kind of bomb to the game. I dont know maybe new hero has a stun ability but bomb would be way better. I hope they add it 🙂

  • I don't think a flashbang would work that great, but a concussive/stun grenade could, maybe. Something that works like the Arc Star stun effect. Very short fuse (unable to be thrown further than maybe 15 meters before detonating), deals 5 damage (purely to see if you hit someone with it). I'd see it more as a long CD tactical ability for a legend rather than a new grenade though. Being able to spam hard to dodge stun effects would be really annoying to play against. I think it'd still be rather annoying to play against even if you could only use it once per fight.

    A stun gun ability could work better. Like... A limited range taser that does no damage but applies the electric stun/slow effect. Think, uhh... Ana's sleep dart from Overwatch. Press button, whips out taser and fires a projectile automatically, but with a hard limit on range of around 10-15m.

    I think I'd personally prefer not getting more AoE CC items though, and for AoE stun ability, technically Crypto already got that covered with his drone. Maybe buff him to make it easier to use EMP instead of adding new grenades?

  • Something similar that might be interesting would be a concussion mine that disorientates vision and slows down the target. Would work well as a tactical ability. Having a flash-bang to completely blind opponents might be a bit OP in a game like Apex.
