How to Get and Use the Taser

The Taser is a community-reported defensive item in current MM2 of The Locust gameplay. Confirm how your server grants it, select it before a chase becomes critical, use it from a clear lane, and move immediately if the effect lands. Acquisition, charges, range, one-use behavior, and a claimed five-second stun remain unverified.

Use sequence

Turn the Taser into a route, not a stationary test

  1. 01

    Confirm the item

    Check that the Taser name or unmistakable icon appears in the current inventory or HUD. Do not rely on an exploit overlay or a different game's item.

  2. 02

    Select it early

    Make the ready state visible before the Locust reaches you. A late selection can look like an input failure.

  3. 03

    Create a clear lane

    Avoid teammates, corners, and props that can hide the target or absorb the attempt. Keep a second route behind you.

  4. 04

    Use the current action

    Press the visible item control once and watch the actual target reaction, charge, cooldown, or inventory change.

  5. 05

    Move immediately

    If the Locust is interrupted, use that window to turn a corner, change level, regroup, or finish nearby progress. Do not stop to time the effect.

FAQ

Common How to Get and Use the Taser questions

Where do you get the Taser?

A stable acquisition method is not verified here. Use the current shop, pickup, loadout, or role UI and record exactly where the item becomes available.

Does the Taser stun for five seconds?

Five seconds is a community-reported value, not an official constant. Treat the visible reaction in your current server as authoritative.

Is the Taser one use?

Not confirmed. Check the current charge, cooldown, and inventory state after using it once.
