The Stun Gun Cartridge is a type of special ammo used for the Stun Gun featured in Dead Island: Riptide. Unlike ammo for conventional firearms (pistols, rifles, etc), you can't look at your inventory or weapon wheel to find out quickly how much you have. Like ammo for the Nail Gun or Harpoon, stun gun cartridges are located in a separate part of your inventory, the same as throwables, meaning you need to manually find it yourself to find how much you have. Like regular ammo, however, there is a maximum to how much you can carry. Each stun gun cartridge holds 5 shots for the stun gun, the second highest special ammo capacity after the nail gun, which holds 10 shots. These cartridges are not reusable, though, like flare gun ammo, once it is fired it's gone.
Locations[]
Stun gun cartridges do not spawn anywhere naturally in the world, however they are considerably easier to get due to one simple factor, which is that they are a reward for an actually quite easy continuous quest given by Dr. Kessler.
- Dr. Kessler will give out one stun gun cartridge for every 5 electronic scrap you bring him as a part of his continuous quest A New Machine.
- Pierre in the Flooded jungle can sell stun gun cartridges after completing his side quest Fire Sale.
- Both Alex and Nora in Henderson have a slot to sell stun gun cartridges.
Trivia[]
- Originally, in Dead Island, there was no ammunition for the Stun Gun in Ryder White's Campaign. There was also no degradation, providing unlimited use.
- Stun gun cartridges are the only special ammo type to not have a spawning location in the world. They are only obtainable via merchants or the continuous quest.
