They better with pepperball or shotgun?
Just trying full-arrest runs.

Pepperballs/OC can daze you as the officer, shotgun is kinetic so I find that to be less annoying. Also if you beanbag a perp in the head they get KO'd, so you can zip 'em up before they gain consciousness

Yeah I have everyone in gas masks for non lethal just because I actually prefer the pepperball gun

They changed it at some point to kill the targets if you do a beanshot headshot. Did they change it back? I'd use the bean shotgun more if that is the case.

yeah i'm fucking lethal with it

Just LaBelle'ing tf out of suspects.

Absolutely don't give them the flash bang grenade launcher.
Ignoring the fact that it doesn't reload, the AI will treat the weapon like any other weapon and rapid fire headshots. A canister to the head is kills the target unfortunately. Same with beanshotguns. I would stick with pepper guns for AI tbh.

The only map where this is viable and appropriate is the Voll Health House.

Well, idc if I kill everyone there tbh.

Yes, and the best way to do so is with the flashbang launcher

The AI team? Honestly... neither because right now they aren't able to handle it properly. For the Pepperball they aren't rapid-firing it enough to get the optimal effect on a suspect (i.e. rapid 3-5 rounds then yell) and for the Beanbag its fire rate isn't enough for the team to suppress the enemy once misses/friendly fire is factored in. Also they'll pull really dumb moves like yelling at suspects through glass (which less-lethal can't penetrate) only to get themselves gunned down.
But if you have to pick one go for the Beanbag Shotgun. The AI doesn't spam the Pepperball properly. For S ranking purposes I normally get the AI team to incapacitate suspects with AP rounds from either the 5.56 or .300 Blackout rifles or the MP7/P90. There's always the risk of restarting because the AI landed a head/neck shot or they hit the thigh/upper arm and caused a bleed, but it's much less frustrating than watching the AI try to use less-lethal.

It's really funny actually, the pepperball gun can shoot through wooden doors and some wood walls. Makes no sense at all.

I prefer the pepperball gun but I have the squad alternate. One pepper and one bean per team. Pepperball gun can just dump ammo in tight spots so its very useful.

Right now? I would say Shotgun, although if you have enough mates, having one with pepper adding constant additional suppression is great.
