The Stun Gun is a Light class gadget that can zap an opponent to impair their movement and disable their specializations temporarily.
Effects
The Stun Gun can be deployed by firing it from a short distance. If the electric pulse hits an opponent, they are stunned for a few seconds.
While stunned, the opponent's movement speed is greatly reduced, they cannot jump or crouch, and their reticle while aiming down sights becomes much more unstable, causing potentially lower accuracy. Additionally, specializations (especially movement-based specializations, such as the Evasive Dash and Charge 'N' Slam) are disabled, making it very difficult for the target to escape.
Usage
The Stun Gun can be selected as one of three gadgets of any Light build loadout.
The gadget can be held and fired like a weapon. The gadget has stable accuracy even while moving. Aiming down sights is possible but will not increase accuracy.
The trigger can be pulled to fire an electric pulse that will stun the first opponent it hits.
When a new charge of the Stun Gun is ready, it needs to be reloaded like a weapon, unlike most gadgets. The reloading animation is automatically started once a charge is ready and the gadget is held.

Strategy
Strengths
- The Stun Gun can lock down Light contestants that would normally be hard to catch, as their specialization will be disabled for the duration.
