Taser

Instantly incapacitates a hostile entity (e.g. a Shapeshifter) when used on it; consumed on use, 180-second cooldown to regenerate a new one after consumption. Higher-use variants exist. Can also be used to tase teammates.

Taser is a combat tool in Animal Hospital (Anomaly) that instantly incapacitates a hostile entity like a Shapeshifter when used on it — it's consumed on use with a 180-second cooldown before a new one becomes available, and higher-use variants exist for purchase. It comes free as a starter item for the Security class, or can be bought for $150 in the Supplies Shop ($250 for a multi-use variant). One documented detail is genuinely unresolved: the Taser's own wiki page states the free pickup near the shop becomes available at Shift 4, while the Items overview page states Shift 3 for that same free pickup — this page records both instead of picking one, since the source data itself disagrees.

Source note. Two Fandom pages disagree on part of this item's availability details (see below) — this page presents both instead of picking one.

Effect & Details

Instantly incapacitates a hostile entity (e.g. a Shapeshifter) when used on it; consumed on use, 180-second cooldown to regenerate a new one after consumption. Higher-use variants exist. Can also be used to tase teammates.

Price: Free starting Shift 4 (collectible near the shop) or $150 in the Supplies Shop; multi-use variants cost $250. Free as a starter item for the Security class.

Source note: Two separate wiki pages give slightly different availability shifts for the free pickup: the Taser page itself says Shift 4, while the Items overview page says Shift 3 for the same free pickup. Recorded per the Taser page (more specific source); flagged for cross-check.

Tips & Strategy

  • Use it to instantly incapacitate anomalies you can safely approach — it's one of the fastest documented counters to threats like the Mimic/Shapeshifter.
  • It's consumed on use, with a 180-second cooldown before you get a new one, so don't burn it on low-priority targets.
  • Security class players start with 5 uses for free, which regenerate at Level 3 — a strong reason to lean on Taser specifically on that class.
  • Because of the Shift 3 vs Shift 4 discrepancy for the free pickup, don't be surprised if you find (or don't find) it slightly earlier or later than expected near the shop.
