Stun gun

The Buzzkill TND (Threat Negation Device) is a weapon in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Characteristics
The Buzzkill TND instantaneously knocks individual targets unconscious at close range. Also useful on bots and electronic devices to confuse them temporarily, the stun gun is made by Mustang Arms Ad-Tech Ltd. As both are ranged, non-lethal firearms which can only load one shot at a time, both the stun gun and its cousin the PAX-22 fill a similar niche, albeit at different ranges. The small stun gun is only useful at short-shorter medium ranges, but can affect non-human targets. With its scope, the PAX-22 is best used at sufficient range for the scope to not interfere with aim.

The Stun Gun is the only weapon that can instantly take out any enemy in the game, human, augmented or robot and even boss enemies. Additionally no aiming is required: just flat at the torso is enough. Alerting the enemy, then awaiting them behind an obstacle will make them come one by one to be taken out.

After stunning them, the player has to watch the bodies to be either not found by other enemies or not revived, which can be done quickly.

Enemies that will awake by themselves (machines, bosses) need to be taken care of during their sleep (carried away into corner, obstruct view, passed by or, with bosses: heavy fire while they are down).

It should be noted that, unlike the PAX-22, the Stun Gun is NOT silent.

In-game Description
The Buzzkill Threat Negation Device (TND) is a single-shot, non-lethal firearm that uses an intense electroshock discharge to render targets unconscious. While easy to conceal, the weapon has a short range, slow firing cycle, and lengthy reload time. It is primarily for use against organic targets, but is also effective in temporarily disabling security camera, turrets and bots.

The stun gun is best reserved for situations where patrolling enemies must be incapacitated quickly, but the player is too far away for a takedown. As takedowns freeze time and render the player temporarily invulnerable, a one-two punch of a takedown on one target, then a quick shot with an already equipped stun gun on another target is a quick and easy tactic for incapacitating two enemies at once, useful for when pairs of enemies are standing within close range, a common occurrence.
