Riot prod

"Stick with the prod, prod with the prod."

The riot prod is an electrically-charged prod that can knock a target unconscious. Used by security forces around the world, the riot prod is an effective tool for keeping what peace remains in the world.

Certain civilian employees within United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition (e.g. Secretaries) are also issued riot prods.

Tactics
The biggest advantage the prod has over the baton is that it does so much more damage that you don't need to hit the enemy in the back anymore to knock him out - you can just aim for the legs. As long as you're touching him and he's unaware of you, he will go down silently in one hit. If you do aim for the back instead, you can knock out even the MJ-12 Commandos when Untrained in Low-Tech weapons. Bump your skill up to Advanced and you can one-shot the Men in Black. This is very useful as knocked out MIBs don't explode so you can loot their bodies.

Sadly, the prod requires charges to work, which are relatively rare and can almost never be bought. If you're planning on using the prod against MIBs later in the game, don't waste the charges at common soldiers - use the baton instead.

As with all stun weapons, do not aim for the head - you will be doing less damage than normal.

In-game Description
The riot prod has been extensively used by security forces who wish to keep what remains of the crumbling peace and have found the prod to be an valuable tool. Its short range tetanizing effect is most effective when applied to the torso or when the subject is taken by surprise.
