Guide to Combat

There are times when running away from a fight is not an option. The combat system is robust but functional and can feel weird at times. Sometimes your clicks are ignored. Sometimes you suddenly realise your melee weapon is no longer in your hand. Sometimes your ranged shots bounce off your target. Sometimes you even suddenly die without knowing why. Some people reduce it to "click spaceman until horizontal", but there is a lot more to it. This guide may only cover some basics, but its intention is to help you win fights (or successfully commit murder as antag), even against veteran players.

Basics to Combat

Some good to know basics about the combat system.

Health System

Get familiar with how health works. Some important bits are:

• You have 200 max HP.
• If you have over 40 total damage of any types you get slowed down until healed.
• After losing around 100 HP (depending on mood) you enter softcrit. All you can do in this state is slowly crawl, and whisper. If this happens you have probably lost. (You can also do the following emotes, *cry, *gasp, and *deathgasp.)
• After losing 150 HP you enter a hardcrit state. In this state you will be unconscious and slowly die. If you whisper you will say your last words and succumb to death.

Damage Zone

You can target specific damage zones by using the Numpad Keys. Each limb has its own pool of hitpoints but damaging them also counts towards the target's total HP. Hurting the head, legs or arms with enough brute damage can cut them off when using a sharp weapon. There are a few specific items that do certain things when aimed at certain zones. If you are unsure what to aim at, then targeting chest or head are the safest choices. Limbs are capped and will stop taking damage if hurt enough, sometimes making you waste damage by hitting them, although it is sometimes worth it to dismember limbs with bladed weapons. However, there's a chance whenever you try to hit a specific limb to instead hit something else.

The Click Cooldown

It is hard coded that you can not make more than 1 click per deci-second (0.1 seconds.) This however, is not the only limit. While things like examining or taking a pen out of a PDA are limited only by the hard-coded cooldown, other actions are also limited by another cooldown. These special cooldowns will lock you out of further click based action until the cooldown is finished. The following is a record of all defined cooldowns. All other actions default to the standard click cooldown of 0.1 seconds and are unaffected by this system.

• Melee attacks: 0.8 seconds
• Throwing: 0.8 seconds
• Ranged attacks : 0.4 seconds (Some guns have a separately defined cooldown)
• Rapid attacks: 0.2 seconds (Gloves of the north star, the bee sword)
• Abilities: 0.6 seconds (Action buttons, like a changelings fleshmend)
• Breakout: 10 seconds (Breaking out of restraints/locked machines)
• Handcuffed: 1 second (Currently unused)
• Resisting: 2 seconds (Triggered even if you had nothing to resist out of)
• Grabbing: 1 second
• Look up: 5 seconds

This is not a comprehensive list as some cooldowns are undefined or oddly defined. For example spraying with a spray bottle is defined as CLICK_CD_RANGE*2. Guns also have defines for custom click speeds, so some guns may fire faster or slower than the standard 0.4 seconds. The 'Double Tap' trait gained from root beer speeds up the cooldown of guns by x2.

Movement Speed

To keep an upper hand in a fight, speed is very helpful. Stop or slow your enemy down with damage, bola, slipping them, other tricks or many other methods and they will be easier to hit with both melee and ranged weapons. There are also ways to speed yourself up, such as Nuka Cola from drink vendors. Dragging prone bodies or lockers will slow you down. You can bypass this drag slowdown by buckling the body to an office chair or roller bed before pulling it.

Cuffing

If you are unsure if your target is valid or not, you should opt for a non-lethal takedown. Do this by somehow stunning or knocking out your target and then cuffing it. If you do not have access to handcuffs , you can easily craft cablecuffs Файл:Cablecuffs.png by activating cable coils in your hand. Cuff a person by holding cuffs in your active hand, and then clicking your target. Hold CTRL and left-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию.

Repeat after a short delay to upgrade grab to aggressive (lvl 2), neck (lvl 3) and strangling (lvl 4). your target by ctrl + clicking it (works even while cuffing). Turn off Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию. Щелчок левой кнопкой мыши по людям пустой рукой нанесет им вред если включён, или поможет если выключен. Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. so you can move around easier with the cuffed person. The target is now completely under your control as long as you don't stand still long enough for them to uncuff themselves, and as long as they don't get bumped out of your grab. Remove cuffs from yourself by resisting. Remove cuffs from someone else by click-dragging their sprite onto yours and then click the cuffs in the menu that pops up.

Stuns

The easiest way to win a fight is by stunning your enemy, leaving them vulnerable for you to cuff them, hurt them into a crit state, or worse. The downside of stuns is that the effect is only temporary; if you fail to deal with your target in time, they can get back up. Also note, when the wiki or players talk about "stuns", they are generally talking about 1 of 3 status effects: paralyze, knockdown, or stamina crit, all of which are types of disable effects. It can be confusing to know which disable effect is which, so it's helpful to read what each one does.

The most common stun used to end fights is stamina crit, which occurs when a target experiences over 100 stamina damage. The stunprod Файл:Stunprod.png is a craftable weapon that deals 55 stamina damage, enough to fully stun someone in two hits. It also has a delayed knockdown effect, even after only one hit. Stun times vary depending on item used, but are usually around 4-15 seconds. You can reduce stun times on yourself in several ways, such as with certain chemicals, including from smoking nicotine. Some stun weapons are conditional, such as the flash , which only works if the target has no sunglasses or similar protection. Keep in mind that some targets can be immune to stuns; you will have to damage them instead. Common mobs with stun immunity are simplemobs and hulks.

Melee Combat

You interact with a person in melee by being adjacent to them and clicking on their sprite (and not on the tile they are standing on/moving towards). You count as adjacent to moving targets when next to the tile their animation is gliding towards. When your interaction connects, something will happen depending on Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию. Щелчок левой кнопкой мыши по людям пустой рукой нанесет им вред если включён, или поможет если выключен. Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. status, mouse button used and which weapon you are wielding. Due to technical limitations, some clicks will not connect, so what you should do is spam-click that target while moving around and trying to avoid being clicked yourself. Every time you successfully attack (or hug) someone in melee there is a cooldown before you can do it again. The cooldown is usually less than a second.

Unarmed Combat

This guy just broke into your department and whipped out an energy sword and energy crossbow. You are unarmed. You are at a huge disadvantage. What can you do? Let's say he somehow kept missing the shots with the bow, due to you staying behind a machine or wall, and is now coming towards you with the e-sword. You have have a few options.

Shoving

First you should read about how shoving with Right-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию. Щелчок левой кнопкой мыши по людям пустой рукой нанесет им вред если включён, или поможет если выключен. Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. is on or off. works (hover over the mouse icon). You can try to lure your enemy into a spot where you can shove him against an object, which knocks him down and makes him drop both weapons. Then shove him one more time on the ground to paralyze him for 3 seconds. Then you must quickly left click his own dropped energy sword to pick it up. Kill him with it. To avoid being shoved yourself you should try to not stand next to obstacles.

Off-Balance

Shoving on its own has additional benefits, even if it doesn't result in a knockdown. After a successful shove, your enemy is off-balance for 3 seconds. This results in your opponent suffering a significant movement speed debuff, and opens them to additional interactions with other forms of unarmed attacks while they are off-balance. It is important to weave shoves into your combat where possible so that you can exploit this benefit. Any advantage, especially if you cannot find a decent angle to shove your enemy over, is worth taking where you can. Especially if only to make a break for it and escape while you can.

Firearm Disarm

One benefit of off-balance is the ability to remove a gun from an opponents hands just from a shove while they are suffering from the debuff, even if they are not knocked down. This isn't terribly reliable, however, and you're better off using some other combination instead. Your opponent needs to actually be using that gun to drop it, which means they will probably just shoot you with it before you can disarm them. Not ideal. A true desperation move, but hilarious when you pull it off, especially if you manage to snatch their energy crossbow and use it against them.

Grabbing

You can Hold CTRL and left-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию. Щелчок левой кнопкой мыши по людям пустой рукой нанесет им вред если включён, или поможет если выключен. Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. is on or off. Repeat after a short delay to upgrade grab to aggressive (lvl 2), neck (lvl 3) and strangling (lvl 4).. This is difficult to pull off unless you catch your opponent completely unaware, they're stunned, or you know CQC (which allows you to instantly 'aggressively' grab). First you ctrl + click your target once to passive grab. This can be broken out of almost instantly, so most enemies won't give you the chance to upgrade it into a different grab. Ctrl + click him one more time, and if he didn't move or "resist" to break out of your grab, you will grab them aggressively. This will make your target drop any held items and restrain them. Either pick up the dropped energy sword and kill him with it, or continue to tabling.

While your enemy is off-balance, and they have taken at least 30 stamina damage, then they need to attempt to break out of even a passive grab, just like they would an aggressive grab. If your opponent can resist, they have a 60% chance to escape (or half if they're prone). Failing deals takes 15-20 stamina damage every failed attempt. This allows you an opportunity to pull your opponent into a proper aggressive grab. Useful if you've already landed a few punches and need to close the fight. However, they can still use their hands until you upgrade the Hold CTRL and left-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию. Щелчок левой кнопкой мыши по людям пустой рукой нанесет им вред если включён, или поможет если выключен. Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. is on or off. Repeat after a short delay to upgrade grab to aggressive (lvl 2), neck (lvl 3) and strangling (lvl 4). into aggressive, so they might shove you to break the grab.

Neck Grab

If you're feeling bold, you can attempt to force your opponent into a neck Hold CTRL and left-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию. Щелчок левой кнопкой мыши по людям пустой рукой нанесет им вред если включён, или поможет если выключен. Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. is on or off. Repeat after a short delay to upgrade grab to aggressive (lvl 2), neck (lvl 3) and strangling (lvl 4).. This is basically a killing blow in of itself, as your opponent will likely be unable to resist out of this Hold CTRL and left-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию.

Repeat after a short delay to upgrade grab to aggressive (lvl 2), neck (lvl 3) and strangling (lvl 4)., and it also conveniently forces them prone. However, it takes several seconds to upgrade, and you must be standing still to do this. They'll have at least one chance to resist before this occurs, so you had better be feeling lucky. At this stage, you may as well have already won, so consider upgrading to strangling.

Strangling

If you already have them in a neck Hold CTRL and left-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию.

Repeat after a short delay to upgrade grab to aggressive (lvl 2), neck (lvl 3) and strangling (lvl 4)., you should makes you start strangling him, causing suffocation damage. This is a slow process, and the target can attempt to break free by spamming "resist" or trying to move away. The target has 20% chance to break out per try (down from ~60% on aggressive grab). Strangling is rarely used unless the target is already cuffed or in stamina critical. The target can attempt to resist once every 4 seconds, and can call for help while being strangled. But you can punch stamina critted players in a single limb repeatedly during strangling to keep them in-place, tape-gagging optional.

Tabling

When having an aggressive Hold CTRL and left-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию.

Repeat after a short delay to upgrade grab to aggressive (lvl 2), neck (lvl 3) and strangling (lvl 4). on him to aggressive again, and clicking the same table again, and then shoving him again. You can do this over and over until crit or stamcrit. If you are on the receiving end of this treatment you can yell for help and spam "resist", which will make you attempt to break out of the grab (with a 4 second cooldown). Resisting will not work the 3 seconds you are paralyzed, so your enemy must mess up the timing for you to escape.

If you know CQC or sleeping carp any table will be destroyed if you table someone on it. Tabling on a glass table will stun for a long duration, but will break the table.

A head slam does 30 brute damage to the head, 40 stamina damage and 3 seconds of knockdown. Performing two head slams on the same standard table will destroy the table.

Throwing Spacemen

If you have an aggressive grab, you can also activate "throw" mode with R. Then left click somewhere to throw the grabbed person in that direction. Unlike with tabling, you must throw the person away from you. Otherwise the thrown spaceman will hit yourself and paralyze you both. Throwing him on top of a glass table will paralyze him long enough to cuff him. Throwing a person or a monkey corpse at someone is a reliable method to paralyze someone for a moment. Throwing him at a wall Файл:Wall.png or reinforced wall Файл:R wall.png will paralyze him for a moment as well, and same against windows and some other objects but with reduced paralyze time. Throwing him at an airlock Файл:Airlock.gif will make it open, if he is wearing a valid ID.

Punching and kicking

Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. , а затем пустой рукой кликни левой кнопкой мыши . . Punching does a small and random amount of stamina and brute damage. What you're hoping for though, is the random chance for a punch to cause a short knockdown. Keep clicking your target with punches until this happens, then quickly Right-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию. Щелчок левой кнопкой мыши по людям пустой рукой нанесет им вред если включён, или поможет если выключен. Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. is on or off. shove the target on the ground to paralyze him for 3 seconds. Then quickly pick up the dropped energy sword and kill him with it (you know the drill). If the target has no weapon to pick up, you can keep clicking the prone target with fists to kick him instead.

Punching has a probability to miss, but if you're healthy, this chance is fairly low, roughly 10%. However, the more beat up you are, the more inaccurate you are with your punches. If you're about to fall unconscious, don't try punching. If you still want to try a punch, but don't want to miss, try Right-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию.

Your punch won't miss, and if they have 40 or more stamina and brute damage combined, they'll be guaranteed to be knocked prone.

Kicking never misses, but you can only kick prone targets. Your kicks also do more stamina and brute damage than punches, and bypass armor slightly. If you have your enemy in an aggressive Hold CTRL and left-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию.

For a human, punches do 5-10 brute damage and 7-15 stamina damage. Kicks do 7-15 brute damage and 10-20 stamina damage. Ethereals do burn damage instead of brute damage.

Melee Weapons

Fighting with melee weapons works similarly to fighting unarmed. You click the enemy while holding a melee weapon in your hand and you will deal damage to them with that weapon.

Throwing

This is a safer way to take down a target. Pick nearby items/objects up and throw them at the target. Most items deal the same damage when thrown as when used as a melee weapon. Some, such as spears Файл:Spear.png will deal even more damage. (Who knew that a thing designed to deal more damage would naturally deal more damage, funny how that works) First pick up a item/object, then activate "throw" with the [R] key. (Or hold down spacebar) Then click where you want to throw the item/object. You can pick up some chairs or even stools for throwing, by dragging their sprites onto yours. Throwing just like ranged combat, uses pixel perfect movement, which means you can throw it in any direction. You can also craft a bolas to throw at targets, which will slow them down until they resist out of it. Thrown objects do not count as ranged shots and as such can't reflected by sleeping carp users. You can counter having items thrown at you by activating "throw" yourself (with [R] or holding down [spacebar]). If your active hand is empty, you will then catch/capture the next object thrown at you, instead of getting hit by it.

Alternatively you could use Hold CTRL and left-click a person with your hand empty. It doesn't matter if Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию. Щелчок левой кнопкой мыши по людям пустой рукой нанесет им вред если включён, или поможет если выключен. Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. is on or off. Repeat after a short delay to upgrade grab to aggressive (lvl 2), neck (lvl 3) and strangling (lvl 4). until aggressive grab on a nearby dead or alive mob, and throw it at the target with your empty hand selected, for a short sweet stun that not only forces them horizontal but also disarms them with the added bonus of dealing 10 brute damage to a random body part of theirs, stay on top or away from the throwing arc to not get hit yourself, if the mob isn't in the right position click on a nearby turf/tile/floor to move it there for a better angled throw, toggle throw, and yeet.

Embedding

Some items, such as the spears Файл:Spear.png, has a chance to embed into a body part when they are thrown at someone. An embedded item deals additional brute damage and bleeding until the item is removed. Some embedded items can automatically fall out after a while. Else you remove an embedded item from yourself by examining your body, and then clicking the underlined string of text that appears in the chat window. You remove embedded items from others with surgery. Many items, such as glass shards and metal rods Файл:Rods.png can only embed from higher than normal throw speed, such as from explosions. Some more items that can embed from normal throws are: Energy sword Файл:ESword.png, combat knife and throwing star Файл:Tstar.png

Mostly useful for roleplay. It also deals 10 times more damage. If you select a different body part before firing, you will spare your target.

Weapons

What follows below is a table of some common or robust items that may help you win, separated by category. Uncommon weapons may not be listed and the ones that are could be outdated, so don't rely entirely on the table. If in doubt, examining the weapon and clicking the "bluespace tag" will tell you how many hits it takes to bring someone down.

Melee Weapons

Most station personnel lack access to proper firearms, thus if push comes to shove most people will have to rely on the old fashion method of melee combat to deal with a attacker.

Almost any object on the station can be used as a makeshift melee weapon, however some are better than others.

Icon	Item	Damage	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
Файл:Brokenbottle.png	Broken Bottle	15 Brute when breaking 9 Brute after broken	Get a bottle from the Booze-o-mat, smash it on someone.	Civilian	Has to be broken first, to break simply enable Combat Mode Включить на 4, выключить на 1 или переключение на F по умолчанию. Щелчок левой кнопкой мыши по людям пустой рукой нанесет им вред если включён, или поможет если выключен. Не позволяет вам переключаться местами или толкаться при столкновении с людьми.. then smash it against someone; by aiming for the head you will also knock them down if they are not wearing protective head gear. Smashing or throwing it spills its contents over the target so you could use it as a chemist to knock out your target, by filling it with chloral, and then beat them to death with it. Another reason why traitor Chemist is so great. If the bottle's contents are flammable (booze bottles, for instance) you can follow up by setting your target on fire. (toasty)
	Box Cutter	10 brute when extended	Print one from the autolathe	Civilian	A ghetto switchblade, is better at neck slashing than other melee weapons of its strength and is easily concealable.
	Butcher's Cleaver	15 Brute	Hack the Dinnerware vending machine.	Civilian: Kitchen Staff	Somewhat hard to get. Security will likely have their suspicions as the only reason to have this over the normal knife is its robusting power. Works as a ghetto circular saw in surgery. Can easily dismember with repeated strikes to the same limb, works extra-well against burn wounded limbs.
	Circular Saw	15 Brute	Operating Theatre Robotics Lab Autolathe	Civilian: Medical/Research	One of the most robust things you can find. Sadly they are rather uncommon and departments like to hang onto theirs, and security likes to take them; You can print one at the Cargo Bay's autolathe as well as Medbay's techfab, if it has metal to make it.
Файл:Deathnettle.png	Death Nettle	Up to 30 Burn. Damage depends on potency. Loses a random amount of damage after each hit.	Growing them at Hydroponics	Civilian: Botany	A red nettle that deals high damage and can paralyze. Requires gloves to wield, lasts for several hits (damage reduced with each hit) until they disintegrate (i.e. the evidence disappears). Experienced Botanists can make these. At low potency they are mostly a joke but at high potency they are as strong as energy swords.
	Fire Extinguisher	10 Brute	Emergency Fire closets and lockers, emergency storage rooms	Civilian	Found across the station so they aren't in any short supply. Unlikely to be taken away by security if they search you. They are also very useful if you get spaced, spray it in the opposite direction of where you want to head to, and you'll fly away. With a limit of 50 units, that's 10 squirts using 5 per spray.
	Air/Oxygen/Anaesthetic tank	10 Brute	Emergency lockers E.V.A. Ordnance Lab Atmospherics Operating Theatre (for anaesthetic tanks).	Civilian	Found across the station so they aren't in any short supply; Air and oxygen tanks are unlikely to be taken by security if they search you; You can use it for internals while having it in your hand (though it is recommended you don't use an anaesthetic tank, unless you don't plan to wake up anytime soon, or not at all if you aren't found in time).
	Push Broom	8 Brute unwielded 12 Brute wielded	Custodial Closet, Janitorial Cart	Janitor	Deals a surprising amount of damage when wielded. Beware the janitor's wrath when you make too much of a mess.
	Fire Axe	5 Brute unwielded 24 Brute wielded	Bridge and Atmospherics.	Civilian: Atmospherics/Command	Most robust thing you can get from the Station. Has to be held with two hands to be used properly. Security will likely take it away and it's a large object so best store this on your back. (or drag it around and risk it getting yoinked) They are also rare, one can be found in Atmos and the other is located at the Bridge (Good luck breaking in before it gets taken) Can be used as a crowbar (while wielded) on unpowered doors, and is strong enough to break powered up ones. A variant can be made from metallic hydrogen if you're skilled enough in Atmos.
	Hatchet	12 Brute 15 thrown	Hydroponics.	Civilian: Botany	Botanists use these to chop wood, they also are good at chopping limbs. Are easy to conceal, and if you're a Botanist, security probably won't care if you're carrying one around. Throwing it at someone deals 15 brute damage. Bonus points if you end up finishing off an fleeing target this way, Navajo-style. Works as a ghetto circular saw in surgery.
	Kitchen Knife	10 Brute	Kitchen Autolathe.	Civilian	Useful if you're the Chef/Cook, as Security are unlikely to give a single shit if they spot you with it. Works as a ghetto scalpel in surgery. Can be hidden in boots.
	Null Rod	18 Brute (base)	Chapel and on the Chaplain.	Civilian: Chaplain	Similar to the Circular Saw, but there's only one of them, and the Chaplain tends to keep it on them. It can also destroy runes and protect against some cult magics. Can be transformed into a variety of religious weapons, with different characteristics.
Файл:Pickaxe.png	Pickaxe	15 Brute	Mining Dock and Mining Station.	Civilian: Supply	Fairly robust, but it's very large, so it can only be stored on the back, belt or even on armor slot of miner armor & coats. Miners barely use these anymore in favor of the Kinetic Accelerator, so it's mostly seen on the Gulag. Mining drills and jackhammers all do the same amount of damage as a pickaxe. Also comes in Silver and Diamond variants that deal 17 and 19 brute respectively but you gotta work for it if you want those stronger picks.
Файл:Minipick.gif	Compact Pickaxe	10 Brute	Mining Dock and Mining Station, in miner's equipment closets.	Civilian	Does less damage, but can fit in a backpack.
Файл:Survivalknife.gif	Survival Knife	15 Brute	Miner's explorer backpacks, Miner's explorer boots	Civilian: Supply	Miners spawn with a very robust knife that can fit in their pockets or boots. Can also be bought from cargo or used as a bayonet on certain bolt-action firearms.
	Scalpel	10 Brute	Operating Theatre Autolathe.	Civilian: Medical/Research	Despite not being as good as the circular saw, this thing is still quite robust. Jabbing people in the eyes occasionally stuns them and eventually blinds them, limiting their ability to run. (do to bumping into entities that can't be seen nearby) The best part is you can store it in your pockets and if you have access to this (not counting autolathe produced scalpels) security wouldn't care, unless it's covered in blood, of course. But even then they might assume you're just a bad doctor. Is useful for making unarmored targets bleed out from many wounds. (death by a thousand cuts)
	Glass Shard	5 Brute 10 when thrown	Anywhere there's glass (read: everywhere).	Civilian	Extremely easy to obtain, just break a glass or a reinforced glass pane or climb a glass table. (ideal use a screwdriver on said glass table then activate it in hand shortcut:[Z] once you pick up the glass sheet and make it into a glass shard) Works also as a ghetto scalpel. ideally use gloves to avoid cutting yourself when hitting things, but you can still throw it; You can also make a shiv by applying cloth on it.
	Screwdriver	5 Brute	Most storage rooms and Engineering.	Civilian	Its robustness doesn't come from the damage dealt, but from its thin, pointed edge. With it, anyone with burned limbs can get punctured. Anyone not wearing glasses can have their eyes stabbed out causing them to lose sight and eventually go blind; Doesn't make them mute so expect cries for help. Seriously, don't underestimate this thing.
	Surgical Drill	15 Brute	Operating Theatre Autolathe.	Civilian: Medical/Research	Only found in Surgery; Only used for dental implants, so it'll barely be noticed if it goes missing; It's useful for leaving lasting wounds that will kill if untreated.
	Toolbox	12 Brute	Most storage rooms and Engineering.	Civilian	Rather common. Although it deals a moderate amount of damage, it's a bulky item, so you'll have to hold it. An Assistants love to fight in arenas with these.
	Welding tool	3 Brute when off 15 Burn when on	Most storage rooms and Engineering.	Civilian	When switched on, it deals a robust amount of burn damage, but consumes fuel on every successful hit. Can be filled with 1 unit of fuel and 19 units of liquid plasma to make an ingenious explosive. Welder (burn) wounds on limbs make said limb easier to wound and thus, easier to chop off with a bladed weapon.
	Syndicate Toolbox	15 brute 18 brute when thrown	Syndicate uplink and the Derelict.	Syndicate	Worth more for emergency tools than anything. Expect security to come cracking down unless they know you've taken a trip to the derelict.
Файл:Spear.png	Spear	10 brute when unwielded 18 brute when wielded 20 brute when thrown	Made by yourself	Civilian	A haphazardly-constructed yet still deadly weapon of ancient design. You can attach an explosive to it. If you attach one, Alt-clicking it will allow you to set a war cry when attacking with it. Spears can be made with plasma shards, titanium shards or even plastitanium shards to make them even more dangerous.
Файл:Chainsaw.gif	Chainsaw	24 Brute when on	Made by yourself	Civilian	You can surgically replace an arm with a chainsaw; Can break an airlock down easier; Faster when on, slower when off; High wound capability, aim for the legs and arms to put them under max bloodloss.
Файл:Baseball bat.png	Baseball bat	10 Brute	Made by yourself	Civilian	Knocks back targets on hit; Can also knock projectiles back with it by hitting a projectile before it hits you; Exception, bullet. (The Bat can't outsmart it)

Actual Melee Weapon

While makeshift weapons are more common, actual dedicated weapons are far more effective in harming, subduing or killing a target. However, these weapons are very noticeable and most station personnel can't get access to them.

Icon	Item	Damage	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	Cult Blade	30 Brute	Cult magic	Cultists	Those who aren't Cultists suffer from wielding this blade...MENTALLY. Aside from being very robust, it is Cult exclusive. Expect a wave of batons lasers when Security sees you holding this.
Файл:ESword.png	Energy Sword	3 Brute Off 30 Brute On	Through a Syndicate Uplink	Syndicate/Nanotrasen	Despite being very strong in melee combat, its activation is loud, very obvious to those around you, and a very big target for people looking for free gear. It also counts as a shield when active! Aim for the legs or arms. Use a multitool on one to turn on RAINBOW MODE (permanently). TURN IT ON BEFORE YOU USE IT
Файл:DoubleESword.png	Double-bladed Energy Sword	3 Brute Off 34 Brute On	Through a Syndicate Uplink	Syndicate/Nanotrasen	Has to be held with two hands while on. Four extra damage may not seem much, but it means one less hit to crit an unarmored target. When wielded it gives a 100% chance to deflect energy-based shots, like lasers. Like the energy sword, its activation is very loud. Use a multitool on one to turn on RAINBOW MODE (permanently). TURN IT ON BEFORE YOU USE IT For obvious balance reasons, hulks cannot use these.
	Stun Baton	10 Brute	Security Office and Security Officer's backpack.	Security	Very robust if you know how to use it properly. Only the security team/force can get these easily; Deploy liberally, but stow for transport.
	Katana	40 brute	Syndicate base	Nuclear Operatives	Real katanas are very robust, but rare. The Syndicate base contains one. Despite the high damage, the katana often goes unused due to its lack of deflection capabilities compared to the double esword.
	Cursed Katana	15 brute	Possible loot from necropolis chests in Lavaland.	Mining	Cursed weapon that retracts into an organ, and mauls your hand if you retract it without hitting a live target. Able to combo attacks.
	Telescopic Baton	10 Brute	Heads of Staff's backpacks.	Command	Like the stun baton but retractable, fits in your pockets and has a instant knock down with the added downside of a shorter stun time, Heads of Staff start their shift with one in their backpack. EXTEND IT BEFORE USING!
	Officer's Sabre	15 Brute	Captain's locker.	Captain	A sabre intended for ceremonial uses. Comes with its own sheath. Can block melee attacks and has good armor penetration. Surprisingly sharp for a fashion accessory. Deals slightly more damage to assistants if attacking them in combat mode.
	Combat Knife	20 Brute	Can be ordered through Cargo.	Security	Very robust for its size.
Файл:Survivalknife.gif	Survival Knife	15 Brute	Given to shaft miners.	Supply	The perfect tool for butchering the local wildlife and showing how they do it in Birmingham to a demigod.
	Big Slappy	30 Brute, 10 Brute recoil damage to the user	Can be crafted using a Big Slappy Parts Kit that can be ordered from cargo, 4 wrenches, 5 sheets of plasteel, 10 iron rods and one mining drill	Civilian	Knocks down whoever is hit with it in addition to its huge damage, but makes the wielder incredibly slow and deals brute damage to the user after every hit because of recoil. Can be folded or unfolded by using it in-hand. While unfolded, it can be used as an extremely fast wrench, and while folded it can be used as a shovel. Can only be held with two hands.

Ranged Weapons

Although often hard to get, these can put you at a huge advantage. Not just from being outside melee range, but also by shooting through windows and destroying walls. Guns rely on a stock of ammo, and those are hard to get, while energy guns use recharging units or just recharge by themselves.

Sidearms (Ballistic)

Ballistic weapons remain a popular weapon in the 26th century, typically however Nanotrasen prefer the usage of Energy weapons over Ballistic weapons, so don't expect to see many ballistic weapons on station.

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
Файл:Deagle.gif	Desert Eagle	Файл:Ammo 50.png .50	7 Rounds	60 Brute	Summon guns, can spawn in secure contraband lockers, and also from the MetaStation vault.	Nanotrasen	Comes in three tasteful variants. Normal, gold and camo gold. Hope for the gold gun. 7 Rounds of pure mlg; spare ammo available nowhere.
	Unica 6 auto-revolver	Файл:357 speedloader.png .357	7 Rounds	60 Brute	Syndicate Uplink and summon guns.	Nanotrasen	All in all the syndicate revolver, but for death squad and emergency response team officers. Can spawn in contraband lockers.
	Revolver	Файл:357 speedloader.png .357	7 Rounds	60 Brute	Syndicate Uplink and summon guns	Syndicate	Security (or generally anyone) will be quick to scream "TRAITOR!" if they see you with one; You can get more ammo from hacked autolathes. Serve with a side of grenade to finish your foe off for good.
	Revolver	Файл:Ammo 38.png .38	6 Rounds	25 Brute	Detective's locker or summon guns.	Security	Deals moderate damage. Can be modified to fire .357 by wrenching it, but each consecutive shot raises the chance of a misfire, usually ending with you shooting yourself with .357.
	Makarov Pistol	Файл:Ammo 9mm.png 9mm	8 rounds	30 Brute	Syndicate Uplink.	Syndicate	A robust sidearm accessible through a traitor uplink. Doesn't deal as much damage as the revolver, but costs less and can be reloaded more easily without purchasing additional magazines by printing ammo boxes from the Autolathe. Small enough to fit in pockets. One of the few guns that takes the universal silencer. Can be found in the contraband locker.
	Ansem Pistol	10mm	8 rounds	40 Brute	Nuclear Operatives and their uplinks.	Syndicate	Starting equipment of the Nuclear Operatives. Similar to the Makarov Pistol, but uses 10mm ammo and deals more damage. A silencer can be attached to it.
	Russian Revolver	Файл:357 speedloader.png .357	1 round. Can load up to 6.	60 Brute 300 Brute when used on self	MetaStation	Old Russia	A Russian made revolver. Uses .357 ammo. It has a single slot in its chamber for a bullet. A gun to play Russian Roulette! You can spin the chamber to randomize the position of the bullet. True men aim for the head.
	Nagant Revolver	7.62x38mmR	7 rounds	60 Brute	Summon guns, Russians	Old Russia	A Russian made revolver in 7.62x38mmR, functionally identical to a regular one except this can be suppressed.
	Chaplain's Revolver	.77	5 rounds	18 brute	Punished sect	Psykers	A chaplains revolver, can be reloaded via a prayer action.

Sidearms (Energy)

Energy weapons are among the most common kind of weapon you'll find on a Nanotrasen space station. Reliable but has issues with ammo.

Energy Based

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	Disabler	Energy	20 Disable	30 Stamina	Armory, disabler crates, summon guns, and the suit storage of that seccie you just killed.	Security	If you're trying to kill someone, stamina crit, then beat the living daylights out of them. Takes two shots to slow down, 5 to stamina crit.
	Disabler SMG	Energy	40 Disable	15 Stamina	Disabler SMG crates from cargo.	Security	An automatic version of the disabler, with weaker projectiles but better fire rate. It takes 7 shots to stamina crit a person. Cannot be dual-wielded.
Файл:Large ebow.png	Energy Crossbow	Energy (Self-Charging)	Infinite bolts (needs to cooldown after shooting)	10 Toxin + Stun	Craftable using a gun part kit from security protolathe, Proto-Kinetic Accelerator, 15u of Radium and 5 pieces of cable.	Security	Same as the Miniature Energy Crossbow, but large and can't fit in bags. Can be worn on armor.
Файл:Ebow.png	Miniature Energy Crossbow	Energy (Self-Charging)	Infinite Bolts (needs to cooldown after shooting)	10 Toxin + Stun	Syndicate Uplink.	Syndicate	The syndicate's energy crossbow, small, silent and deadly.
	Smoothbore Disabler	Energy (Hand-Cranked)	Infinite shots, but you need to crank it by using it in-hand and waiting 2 seconds after each shot to recharge	30 Stamina	Craftable.	Civilian	A makeshift disabler, its projectiles are weak against armor and you can fire only one shot before needing to crank it for 2 seconds. Has 22.5 degrees of spread. You can put several of these in your bag to take someone down without having to crank one.
	Elite Smoothbore Disabler	Energy (Hand-Cranked)	Infinite shots, but you need to crank it by using it in-hand and waiting 2 seconds after every 2 shots to recharge	35 Stamina	Militia ERT, craftable if you somehow find and read the recipe.	Nanotrasen	Elite version of the smoothbore disabler. Has no spread and can shoot 2 disabler shots before you need to crank it. Also deals slightly more stamina damage and is not weak against armor.
	Thermal Pistols	Energy	8 Shots per gun, 16 total.	20 brute for cryo, 20 burn for infernal. Shooting a hot person with cryo does 20 extra damage and knocks down, shooting a cold person with inferno causes an explosion.	Cargo Bay.	Cargo	They come in pairs from cargo, though they work fine independently. Each shot has 10 AP. Despite being an energy weapon, their bullets function much like ballistics. Shooting someone the OPPOSITE temperature as the gun you're using has bonus effects!
	Plasma Cutter	Файл:Plasmaore.png Plasma	40 plasma bursts	5 Burn	Cargo Bay, in the protolathe after research	Cargo	Bad for killing, decent for delimbing, 7 shots to the same limb can take it off. Dual-wielding recommended.

Файл:C20r.png	C-20r SMG	Файл:12mmMag.png .45	24 Rounds	30 Brute	Can only be found in Nuke Op rounds, or with Summon guns.	Syndicate	Powerful SMG that will crit unarmored targets in two 2-round bursts. Far from the strongest Nuke Op weapon but certainly one of the most cost efficient, and more than deadly enough.
	PP-95 (Surplus SMG)	9mm	50 Rounds	10.5 Brute	Nuke op uplinks	Syndicate	Shoots in 5-round low-damage bursts with an enormous spread, to the point where almost all of your bullets will fly diagonally. Costs only 2TC with 1TC for additional magazines, but REALLY not worth using unless you can't afford anything else.
Файл:Autorifle.png	WT550 Automatic Rifle	Файл:46x30ammo.png 4.6×30mm	20 Rounds	20 Brute	Security and Cargo.	Nanotrasen	A older rifle often used by paramilitary or high security forces.

Syndicate	Holds the most ammo of any gun, 50 shots dealing 45 brute damage each, firing in a fast 3-round burst that is moderately inaccurate. With AP ammo this thing will take down even heavily armored targets in one or two bursts.
	Uzi	Файл:Ammo 50.png 9mm	32 rounds	20 Brute	Summon guns, Gang Wars	Gangs	A lightweight, fast firing gun, for when you want someone dead. Uses 9mm rounds.

Civilian	A handcrafted pipegun made of scavenged materials. To load shells or bullets, simply use the full round on the pipegun. To attach a bayonet, open the bolt then apply a survival knife to it.
	Mosin	Файл:Surplus ammo.png 7.62 mm rifle cartridge Surplus 7.62 mm rifle cartridge	5 rounds (1 full stripper clip)	60 Brute	Formerly bought from nuke op uplink, now a random chance to get it in the russian surplus crate from cargo.	CARGONIA, security, centcom, pirates	An old, unreliable but popular and hard hitting bolt action rifle. Can be loaded one bullet by one, or up to 5 at once using a stripper clip. Mass produced so much, it somehow found it's way on a really bad space station. There are two variants of this gun - a "new" one (which is also used by some pirates and centcom assistants) and an old one (or "wet" as it is described in-game). The old ones have to be cleaned quite often or they will start jamming (have a chance to not do anything when using in hand to open the bolt). Can be cleaned using the cleaning kits that might or might not have come in the crates. Can be sawn down. Furthermore - There are also two variants of the ammo this gun uses and which can come with it in the crates - the normal and the surplus kind. They are identical in everything except that the surplus ammo has worse armor penetration, but can be printed in a hacked autolathe.

Stun and Incapacitation Weapons

Having the ability to stun at a moment's notice will protect you from getting robusted quite often (as long as you don't get stunned first).

Icon	Item	Type of Stun	How to Acquire	Notes
	Stun Baton	Stamina damage	Security	Not being security, and having this out, is likely to land you in the brig.
Файл:Stunprod.png	Stunprod	Stamina damage	Made by yourself	Having this is a quick way to get robusted by security. Doesn't fit in backpacks, but can be carried on your back.
	Telescopic Baton	Stamina damage	Be a Head of Staff	Not being a head of staff and having one of these is yet another way to incur security's ire.
	Disabler	Stamina damage	Spawns on officers, Armory. Disabler Crate from Cargo.	A non-lethal type of laser that deals Stamina Damage, which has the same slowing/debilitating effects of normal damage, without actually harming. Heals on its own over time.
	Flash	Stun Duration 8 Blinds cyborgs and scrambles their movement, stuns blinded cyborgs	Security, Bridge, Sec Checkpoint, Tech Storage	Cyborgs are vulnerable to this method of stunning. Eye protection, such as sunglasses or welding helmets prevents you from being stunned this way. Hardsuits and spacesuits will also block flashes, except for the CMO's.
	Chemicals	Depends on chemical	Chemistry	Typically used with a syringe gun, Hypospray, or Smoke Grenade. Some chemicals, like Chloral Hydrate, or Morphine, can hold targets still for some time, while others can be very harmful.
	Flashbang	Various effects. Duration varies with distance.	Security	Very good for stunning a whole room. Not wearing ear protection will make you deaf for awhile. Wearing both sunglasses and a bowman headset makes you immune to these.
Файл:Laser Pointer.png	Laser Pointer	Blinds humans Blinds cyborgs Duration 5-10	Lawyer, Curator, Research Director	Has a chance of blinding people and cyborgs, like a Flash; a fully upgraded laser pointer has a 100% chance.

Файл:Ed209.png	ED-209	Stamina damage	Made in robotics.	Attacks those set to arrest, and, depending on the mode, with weapons out without permission.

Defense

To be good at combat, you must be able to survive an encounter with anything; Rockets, E-swords, and bees can all come flying towards you at any moment. While some may say that the best defense is a robust offense (which can be true in some cases), knowing how to protect yourself is a vital skill needed to be robust.

Stun Defense

Some abilities and items can reduce or entirely block stuns.

Icon	Counter	Type of Stun	How to Acquire	Notes
Файл:Hulk.png	Hulk	Any	Genetics	Hulks don't get stunned and don't fall ever. Even space lube doesn't make them fall, though they do slip.
Файл:SGlasses.png	Eye protection	Flashes	Cargo and Engineering for welding helmets, Security for sunglasses.	Doesn't do anything with the stun itself; rather, it protects you from flashing

Damage Prevention

A few items, when used, can randomly completely block damage.

Icon	Item	How to acquire	Protection	Notes
Файл:RiotS.png	Riot Shield	Armory	Blocks melee attacks.	Note that attacks aimed at other parts of the body (commonly the head) may miss, and have a chance of hitting another part instead, usually your chest. Tanking too much damage with it can cause the shield to shatter, stunning you.
	Strobe Shield	Craft from a riot shield, a flash and a mounted flash frame	Blocks melee attacks.	Works just like the riot shield, but emits a non-targeted flash every time it blocks an attack, can be used in hand for non-targeted flash and directly flashes anyone you hit with it. The flash can burn out.
	Telescopic Shield	Head of Security's locker, Security protolathe	Blocks melee attacks.	Same as the riot shield, but can be collapsed for easy storage. Fits in pockets while collapsed but doesn't block attacks if not extended.
	Roman Shield	Skeletons summoned with a necromantic stone	Blocks melee attacks.	Same as the regular riot shield, but slightly less durable. A cosmetic version with no block chance can be bought from an AutoDrobe in dorms.
Файл:Buckler.png	Wooden Buckler	Can be crafted using 20 wooden planks	Blocks melee attacks with a relatively low chance.	Like a riot shield, but with a 30% block chance, has lower durability and is flammable. Easy to obtain.
	Adamantine Shield	Burning adamantine extract from Xenobiology	Blocks all attacks with a 75% chance	Needs two hands to use it and makes you slower, deals 15 brute damage on hit.
	Organic Shield	Buying the "Organic Shield" ability as a changeling	Blocks all attacks with a 50% chance.	Unlike some other shields that have durability, this shield counts the number of attacks blocked and breaks when it runs out of uses. The number of uses increases by 3 with each absorbed genome. Does not stun you or drop anything when it breaks.
Файл:Eshield.png	Energy Combat Shield	Nuke ops	Blocks most melee and ranged projectiles.	Works just like a riot shield, except with a 100% chance to deflect all lasers and energy shots, making it very robust. Can also be turned off to fit in your pocket.
	Bananium Energy Shield	Clown ops	Blocks most melee and ranged projectiles.	Same as a regular energy shield, but is also slippery, can be used as a boomerang and slips anyone it hits when thrown.
Файл:Reactivearmor.png	Reactive Teleport Armor	Research Director's Office	Teleports you randomly if you're hit.	It could end badly if you get spaced due to this, but it'll still improve your odds of surviving.
	Energy Sword	Syndicate Uplinks	Blocks projectiles and attacks with a 50% chance.	Needs to be turned on to work. Counts as a shield just like the riot shield.
	Double-Bladed Energy Sword	Syndicate Uplinks	Blocks attacks with a 75% chance, guaranteed to deflect energy projectiles and deflects ballistic projectiles with a 50% chance.	Improved blocking compared to a regular energy sword (75% chance while the regular energy sword has a 50% chance).

Armor

Armor is a great passive way to keep you from getting hurt too badly in a fight. Some jobs will have difficulty acquiring armor. Some armor, like hardsuits, will slow you, as well.

Armor will reduce all damage of a certain type, on parts of your body that are protected by the armor. You will see "Your armor softens the blow!" when your armor reduces damage. The defense values are indicated by an armor's percent protection from different damage types, for example basic Armor has a melee protection rate of 50, as such it will reduce all melee damage to the chest by 50%.

Armor only protects the region that it covers on your body. No armor protects your entire body.

Файл:Mining Hardsuit.png	Mining Hardsuit	Mining	Gives quite good protection from melee attacks and explosions. Can be upgraded with goliath hide plates to a maximum of 80 melee defense.

Gives slightly increased protection against all damage sources.	melee = 45 bullet = 25 laser = 30 energy = 10 bomb = 25 bio = 100 rad = 50 fire = 95 acid = 95	Offer more protection than the standard Security Hardsuit. Still not as good as the Captain's spacesuit.
Файл:Wizardsuit.png	Gem-encrusted hardsuit	Wizard or Summon magic	Offers good protection overall and counts as a robe for spellcasting. Protective against fire and totally acidproof to boot!	melee = 40 bullet = 40 laser = 40 energy = 20 bomb = 35 bio = 100 rad = 50 fire = 100 acid = 100	See here for information on the magical arts.
Файл:Ablative.png	Ablative Armor Vest	Armory	Gives excellent protection against Laser and Energy attacks and can even deflect them.	melee = 10 bullet = 10 laser = 60 energy = 60	It will sometimes deflect energy projectiles, which includes disabler shots!
Файл:Bulletproofvest.png	Bulletproof Vest	Armory	Makes the wearer very resilient to bullets at the cost of being poor defense against other weapons.	melee = 15 bullet = 60 laser = 10 energy = 10 bomb = 40	Very useful against gangsters and nuke ops. The helmet only provides half of the protection of the vest sadly.
	Body Armor	HoS, HoP, Security	Protects moderately against melee and lasers, which are common things to be harmed by.	melee = 35 bullet = 30 laser = 30 energy = 40 bomb = 25 fire = 50 acid = 50	The standard armor found on security mooks. Also sometimes found on Ian. Also comes in identical tactical (officer lockers) and Black Mesa (security vendor) versions.

Gives complete protection to the entire body.	melee = 50 bullet = 10 laser = 10 energy = 10	It's very resistant to melee attacks, BUT it's less protective against lasers than standard armor.
	Armored Coat	HoS	A good set of armour that covers the entire body, and the HoS starts with it. Not as powerful as it once was but it's still robust.	melee = 30 bullet = 30 laser = 30 energy = 10 bomb = 25	Wear this as your rightful trophy if you manage to outrobust him.
Файл:Deathsquad.png	Deathsquad Armor	Death Squad	Extremely robust armor found only on Deathsquad Officers.

Moderate slowdown.	melee = 80 bullet = 80 laser = 50 energy = 50 bomb = 100 bio = 100 rad = 100 fire = 100 acid = 100	If you see someone wearing this, it's a good idea to run.

Файл:Secjumpsuit.png	Security Officer's Jumpsuit	Security Offices	A security officer's jumpsuit provides a small amount of melee protection. All security-division jumpsuits have the same benefit, whether it be an officer's, the detective's, or the HoS's. Lawyers do not, however.	melee = 10	The kicker? It goes in your jumpsuit slot, and when worn underneath armor will stack their defenses additively. The riot suit's 80% melee reduction becomes an incredible 90%.
	Large Armor Vest	SecTech	Same stats as Body Armor, just cosmetically different.	melee = 35 bullet = 30 laser = 30 energy = 40 bomb = 25 fire = 50 acid = 50	Premium item from SecTech vendor.

Causes moderate slowdown	melee = 40 bullet = 30 laser = 30 energy = 30 bomb = 50 bio = 90 rad = 20 fire = 100 acid = 100	This suit, although costly, can provide a decent addition to security should they need extra defense against a multitude of threats.
Файл:Syndi hardsuit.png	Blood-red Hardsuit	From the Syndicate	A dual-mode advanced helmet designed for work in special operations. Has two modes: EVA and Combat.	melee = 40 bullet = 50 laser = 30 energy = 15 bomb = 35 bio = 100 rad = 50 fire = 50 acid = 90	Costs 8 telecrystals from the uplink.
