No. It used to open doors to stashes in military bases.

I knew that, I was talking about them having a separate use.

Anyway, stopped being lazy and just debugged the stuff, apparently it most definitely doesn't fend them off, oh well.

 You know, it would be an awesome feature if turrets in bases and the like where linked, and that if you had enough comp skill (or the Old Guard loved you, or some hacking group) you could make a fake ID and upload it to a military/science computer, making the turrets in that locale friendly to you.

 Also, it would be cool if the turrets in those places where friendly to the zombies there. Afterall, most, if not all, of them have access rights to be there. Perhaps give them a chance to go hostile to them, since they are kinda deformed.

Definitely planned, just waiting on a slightly more complex system for inter-monster relations to be finished.

hm...zombie technicians can now pull metal weapons from your hands?

I think they're using the electromagnet CBM.

That's been their primary characteristic since they were added.  Guess you just got lucky before

[Greiger]

And iirc can't players do that to npcs as well if they have the cbm?

You might run into the issue of pulling the gun off of a tank drone...which both would be awesome and horrible at the same time. But I could see the player being able to pull guns away from pesky npcs trying to rob you.

Monsters don't wield weapons per se, they just have special attacks that might use stats from player weapons.

That would be hilarious.

'AHA, TANK DRONE, YOU DIDN'T EXPECT I HAD AN ELECTROM- OOOOH FUCK!'

Or it simply starts shooting you with it machine guns, as far as I'm aware the tank drone has 50 rounds of the 180mm cannon, 2000 rounds of the machine gun and I think infinite flame thrower ammo.

Since you are the magnetic source and are much lighter than the tank, wouldnt YOU be moving toward the tank if we follow the laws of physics? I mean the kinetic energy is the same and the smaller mass always move toward the large one when there is a force attracting both of them since the energy required to move you is much lower than the energy required to move the tank, and we all know the universe is lazy or always prefer the fastest route.

"Instead of pulling the Tank Drone's cannon away, you fly towards it!

Your head is stuck in the Tank Drone's cannon!

From the east you hear a 'KA-BOOM!'

Your ears ring!

Do you want to see the last moments of your life?"

What caliber is the tank drone's cannon? Seems more likely with a lot of calibers that you'd probably impale yourself on the gun instead of getting a body part stuck in it. Even a 152mm howitzer has much too small a barrel to fit a human head, and that's a 6-inch barrel. I'd wager the smallest caliber a person could reasonably shove their head down would be a 10-inch/250mm barrel.
