Stunned (damage type)

Stunned is a damage type in Deus Ex that is caused exclusively by the riot prod. "Stunned" is an internal name that only appears in the game files.

Special properties
"Stunned" damage has the dual functions of inflicting non-lethal damage, as well as placing targets in a "stunned" state.


 * Targets that are stunned cannot attack and will receive 4x damage for further attacks, but are not subject to the stealth-attack damage multiplier.
 * As a non-lethal damage type, non-player characters whose last bit of health is taken by "stunned" damage type will fall unconscious.
 * "Stunned" damage is not eligible for the headshot damage multiplier. As such, headshots inflict less damage than torso hits. This property is shared with the "KnockedOut" damage type.

Resistance

 * Robots have 50% damage resistance to this damage type and cannot be placed in the stunned state.
 * Animals do not take any actual damage from this damage type, and cannot be placed in the stunned state.
 * Transgenic animals are entirely unaffected by this damage type.
 * Non-transgenic animals will flee when attacked, even though they do not take any damage.
