Hostages...please Do Something With That Toy...

[Sinbolt]

What is the purpose of the Hostages have weapons, if they do not use them?

Is a gun man...shoot agains for those who kidnapped you...

Naked Nick doesn't know how to shoot a gun.

Say that weak, flimsy body could safely fire a gun without hurting itself due to the force of the shot.  If they did fire the gun, they'd easily be overwhelmed by all the surrounding heavily-armored soldiers/robots and engineers/zombies. The gun seems to be a basic, semi-auto, single-shot gun similar to the Lato. The wielder wouldn't be able to handle a shipful of enemies with just that gun.

 

TL;DR: It's just one gun that probably feels like a Lato. It'd be loud enough to get the entire ship on the Hostage, and the Hostage wouldn't be able to fight the soldiers back.

Its a placeholder model. It will hopefully be changed in a near future.

And I really hope they improve their AI overall.

That "basic" gun is the Tekna 10mm. It's your default handgun in Darksector and yes, if you can't aim, you'll die quick. However, if you take cover and go for headshots, entire armies will fall before you. Of course, you don't expect hostages to do that, so fair enough. It also seems to be an Easter Egg.

But what about after you free time? They still don't use it to help you on your way out.
