Tag pistol and armors

[Shirsh]

Hello, without piercing scanner augments tag pistol can tag only lower tier guards, is it intended behaviour?

Well, it doesn't say that it should pierce armor, so I think it is intended. But I think that it would make sense if it did, because the drone would just stick onto the armor.

Yep, maybe it could look unnatural with FTM's barrier guards, but for all other enemies that were shown it'd be natural. And  if speak not about lore, but gameplay, we can tag everyone by wisp, why should there be restriction for single-tagger?

According to description there is no reason why some guards can not be tagged. Plus, your logic also makes sense.

 

However, according to the tag rules: guards that are immune (???) and armored guards can not be tagged. Though, I still don't think this is intended. Maybe for specific Elite guards, but not for all. (I just did a quick look, so I can't really tell for sure).

I think they should allow you to tag anybody with it, if for no other reason than the tag gun is pretty crap right now anyway and any buff they can give it can only help.
