Not sure if I'm being dumb (spoilers) - Croniss90 - 09-23-2015

I've gotten to Delta and I've just picked up the stun baton. I know I'm meant to use it on the robot that's talking to itself, but how on Earth do I equip the stun baton to use it? The only time I saw it in my hands was when I picked it up, I then talked to Cath and I've never had it in my hands since.

When you approach one, you'll pull it out automatically, just like any other item :3

I thought that'd be the case, although I had ran up to it and hit every button I could whilst following it Tongue

I'll try again now. Thanks very much for the quick reply

Huh still not working. I'm pressing my face right up against this floating talking robot and I'm not pulling anything out Undecided

Forgot to put my username on those last two posts, sorry. I'm not sure if I've encountered a bug here, but I definitely cannot find how to progress. Even if I approach the talking robot very closely, I don't equip the stun baton.

If you press Tab, are you actually holding the Stun Gun?


RE: Not sure if I'm being dumb (spoilers) - Croniss90 - 09-23-2015

If the stun gun is the one with this inventory icon (if the attachment worked) then yes, else, it's not in the box anymore Sad

The inventory image is that it looks like a fat pregnancy test, only way I can think to describe it

Yep. Definitely a bug. I reverted back to a prior save, got the stun baton again and now it is being equipped when I approach a robot.

I'll try to replicate the bug again and will update.

Tried a couple times now and haven't managed to replicate it. I have a screen shot still that proves there's an issue here, I'm just unsure of how to replicate it, so I'll leave it to Frictional whether they want to investigate.

Sorry for this one, the bug was found yesterday and as far as I know have been fixed and is part of a patch coming soon.

Thanks Jens. Bugs happen, if a fix is being released, then there's nothing to apologise for.

I'm having this issue right now. My stun baton doesn't get equiped.

Hi, jens,
could you leave stun baton in inventory for additional usage to stun other creatures?
After it's used, it gets automatically unequipped.
And to replenished it at WAU healing points.

The only way to fix this is to reload from an older save earlier in the same map. (should be one after you exit the shuttle)

So you need to play through a bit, but shouldn't be too hard when you know the solution.

Very sorry about this.

The beta patch has fix for this (but you still need to reload patch):
