Syphon Filter 2[]
In Syphon Filter 2, Lian Xing must use a tear gas launcher to incapacitate people without killing them on two separate occasions: in the Moscow Streets to get past police officers in pursuit of Gregorov, and during the Aljir Prison Escape, when two female prisoners refuse to let Lian and Gregorov leave.
Despite its low ammo count, the Tear Gas Launcher is a necessary weapon in the game, able to non-lethally take down many enemies at a time. It would be borderline overpowered if found elsewhere.
Trivia[]
The weapon's maximum capacity is 5 rounds but in reality it can contain 6, which means the user cannot even fully load it.
