Taser at melee range
The tactical taser stuns the Locust for 5 seconds. Use it inside melee range as a panic button, not as a proactive poke.
Camera at medium range
The camera item paralyzes the Locust for 10 seconds at medium range. Use it when you can see the Locust but cannot reach melee yet.
Stacking the two
If both items are available, use the camera first to cover the rotation, then the taser to cover the vent entry.
Consistency caveats
Pre-alpha: some item interactions fail to activate, including failed taser usage and unresponsive Key collection. Re-pickup if the animation does not play.
