R.E.P.O. Tool
Boltzap
The Boltzap is a cheap rechargeable crossbow that trades damage for reliability. It is the scout weapon of R.E.P.O.: almost no killing power, but it stuns nearly anything and it never runs dry for long.

Effect
Fires electric bolt, stuns enemies
What it does
Twenty bolts per charge, 8 damage each, and a short stun on hit. Its damage is technically a quirk — the bolt is designed to deal 4, but its projectile carries a very small blast radius that doubles the figure in practice. The stun is short, measured in a couple of seconds rather than the Tranq Gun's eighteen.
How to use it
This is a disruptor, not a killer. Use it to interrupt an enraged Elsa, Bella or Apex Predator so you can break away; to spoil a Huntsman shot before it fires; or to stun-lock a monster while a teammate lands the real hits. It forcibly dismisses the Shadow Child, which teleports out as soon as it recovers from any stun. Four bolts will kill a Peeper outright — the Peeper is immune to the stun but not to the damage — and quick shooting can finish it before it starts draining you. The one failure case is a monster stunned next to a pit: the stun is too short to holster the Boltzap and push, so have someone else do the pushing.
REPODLE hints
Eight damage is shared with exactly one other tool, the Prodzap, and the two split cleanly on every other column: Ranged against Melee, $14,000 against $22,000. Both are rechargeable Weapons with a Stun effect type, so do not waste a guess on those. Stun is a seven-item effect group — Boltzap, Inflatable Hammer, Prodzap, Rubber Duck, Stun Grenade, Tranq and Trapzap Mine.
