SV-23 Dart Pistol

The SV-23 Dart Pistol is a weapon found in System Shock. It provides excellent control of laboratory animals, delivering an explosive bite or a paralyzing neurotoxin.

Overview
Despite firing with an unimpressive "whap" the Dart Pistol will do an admirable job of keeping Humanoid Mutants and lower-level Cyborgs at bay until you can obtain a stronger firearm such as a Minipistol.

Stick to the Needle Packs. Tranq Needles are near-useless as their paralyzing effect doesn't last very long on the mutated lifeforms aboard Citadel and does nothing against robotic threats. At most they will buy you a few seconds to either finish off the paralyzed target with a melee weapon or make an escape.

If you run out of Needle Packs early on you're generally better off switching to a SparqBeam.

Trivia

 * Most of the weapons' names in System Shock are derived from the initials of the game's makers. In this case, SV stands for Sara Verrilli.
