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.

The player will begin the game with a riot prod.

Certain civilian employees within UNATCO (e.g. Secretaries) are issued with Riot Prods.

Tactics
In a pacifist game, the Riot Prod is an extremely useful weapon. If aimed at the head and/or back, it can knock out MJ-12 troopers out with ease. Even the mighty MJ-12 Commandos can be downed if you hit them from surprise. Getting good with this weapon is key to avoiding dangerous situations when you're sneaking around and have to get near enemies.

In a non-pacifist game, one special use is to disable MIBs and WIB who explode when they die. Rendering them unconscious prevents their bodies from exploding. This lets you take their weapons. WIB, in particular, have a dragon tooth sword which you can steal if you didn't get one.

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.
