Lobstermen survive sometimes. Nothing more frustrating than seeing one of them standing in the middle of a pulverized area.

Very sad and true.

That's why you use the shok launcher and not the blaster thingie. You can drop half a dozen with one shot then grenade them.

Interesant aproach to the problem... u are sure about one right aimed stun shot = lobstermen get stunned?

[Cockroach]

They go down enmass. I always have a veteran trooper that uses one and gets mad firing accuracy from all the area effect hits from the thing.

True, stun weapons are very effective vs. Lobstermen. However, they sometimes do survive 1 shot and you'll have to carry a lot of grenades to make sure they stay down... Still, it's the only area effect weapon that's good against them. The PWT launcher usually doesn't kill them in 1 shot. The best solutions, though are MC and Close Combat Weapons.

On a side note, early in the game the Thermal Tazer can be quite effective against them.

Tanzer are the only weapon with u can try to attack lobstermen in early game but u need to attack with many people a single alien to succes

yes usually they get stunned, unless they are commanders. but nromal soldiers get stunned quite easilly. and in attack on alien base i too use stun launcher and then throw a greande (at least untill i research that heavy drill thingy). when you got the heavy drill, you can crack them open anytime...
