That’s pretty much it. Will this cause major balance concerns? who knows…

We should switch it up where xenoes can shake eachother up, but medics have to give someone an epi pen to unstun them.

Why not, this is pretty much useless outside SADAR AP stuns, any other stun on xenos is so short that you will barerly be able to think about switching to help intent, going up to the stunned xeno and clicking it.

I feel like it’d be nice to extend the length of stun and give them this ability.
It’d wash out IMO if they could shake each other up and we increased the stun base time

Instant nerf to all shotguns if they get a stun buff. Its going to become a musket shotgun at that point.

not really, unless they have a teammate. In which case, you’re probably screwed either way. Aso in which case, instead of fighting you the teammate would have to swap to help intent and choose to shake up a low health xeno that will retreat to heal instead, also leaving themselves exposed to a PB.
If two marines can stunlock a T2 the same way a scout can, by just existing, then you know thats BS. Not even xenoes, the “Elite” faction get an unstant stun that can be chained in a stunlock with another xeno present.
Which is why i mentioned the firerate on the shotgun would become attrocious because of the stunlock possibility (which also dosn’t cover the “PB into angled grip M41A” which would get a massive buff overall).
I think this could work if we also extended how long the stuns last.

ohh sorry I get what you mean now, I completely misunderstood the first time. But yes you’re right
Lengthening stuns wouldnt be ideal, and it would make backlining even more of a nightmare than it already is
I mostly just brought this up for like, the stupidly long stuns from slashing APCs, or from falling off buildings. Or AP rockets too I guess. If marines can counter the most powerful tool xenos have, a queen screech, by simply clicking on people with help intent, why can’t xenos have the same priveledge?

Some of the stuns are disgusting, but I got a beef with move speed and immediately laugh thinking about three runners shaking any stunned T3

Marines don’t have screen wide stuns that hit all xenos and keep them down for 10 seconds straight, either. There’s a huge asymmetry here that you’re just glossing over.

the slippery slope of letting xenos being able to pat other xenos
this is why we can never have anything nice
