Tranquilizer mines utilize the enemies' rather low intelligence by making them walk into a very obvious laser beam, then taking them out. Due to the beam, this weapon generally doesn't pose a great danger to the player.
Obtaining it
These items aren't very common anymore around Forum City. The earliest available one would be in Phasmatis' Apartment in the security room (only on item difficulties 1 and 2).
Description
These devices used to be in widespread usage around Forum City to deter people from entering restricted areas without killing them. When triggered, the mine will discharge a shaped pulse of energy that causes a neurological disruption in any biological creature unfortunate enough to be hit by it. In most cases, these disruptions will quickly subdue the target. Each mine is only charged with enough energy for a limited amount of pulses against detected targets - when the charge is spent, the device powers down and becomes harmless.
Unfortunately, the battery has a tendency to explode in a lethal manner when the device is left too long without maintenance or damaged; most of them were recalled, though some still remain around the city.
Usage
Attach them on the wall but - unlike most other grenades - watch the height you place them at! After a small duration, a beam will come out of it. Anyone who touches this beam will soon be unconscious. After three uses, the tranquilizer mine's power will be depleted. Unlike most grenades, the only way to take these back off the wall is by using NVShacker's Screwdriver, and that can only be done with mines who have not been depleted yet.
They are not often used against the player character, but when they are, you can usually crouch under them or jump over them. If you have NVShacker's Screwdriver, you can dismantle them. And if all that fails, shoot them from a safe distance.
This mine can be used lethally by placing it, then shooting it when an enemy passes by. Since the explosion radius is fairly small, this is a decent way to blow up doors as a safer alternative to LAMs and such.
