    Strategic Dismemberment

    Concept »

    Strategic dismemberment allows players to separate an enemy's limbs from its body without killing it, disabling limb-specific functions.

    Is there really a purpose for this?

    I mean they call it "strategic" dismemberment.It's just like regular dismemberment does it really deserve it's own page?I mean what the hell is the point of "strategic" dismemberment? I could just pump bullets into it and it will go down either way don't need to get fancy.

    cos if thers a monstor with huge arms trying to kill you it would be strategic to chop its arms off because it makes it much less dangerous as quickly as possible.

    Well apparently it appears in 25 games, so I guess it's worth differentiating.

    The name really only applies to a handful of games. I made a page called "limb targeting" years ago that got deleted in leu of this page, even though limb targeting is a more accurate description of what happens in these 52 games.
