General Information
The Thermal Tazer is similar in function to a shock baton except that it works by freezing its target into a severe state of hypothermia.
The tazer is a very reliable device for incapacitating enemy targets, however it must be used in close quarters. Until you obtain a Thermal Shok Launcher, the tazer is one of the few starting weapons that can be used to easily disable a Lobsterman.
