{{Needs revision | reason = The [[#Basics to Combat|practical part]] this guide was last updated August 2022. If you are reading it much later some things may be outdated. The guide to ranged weaponry also needs updating as it does not feature most of the guns available offstation.}}

There are times when running away from a fight is not an option. The combat system is [[Terminology#Robust.2FRobusting|robust]] but functional and can feel weird at times. Sometimes your clicks are ignored. Sometimes you suddenly realise your [[#Melee_Weapons|melee weapon]] is [[#Cheap_Tricks|no longer in your hand]]. Sometimes your ranged shots [[Syndicate_Items#Martial_Arts_Scroll|bounce off]] your target. Sometimes you even [[Guide_to_chemistry#Amanitin|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 [[Terminology#Antag|antag]]), even against veteran players. <br><br>

=Basics to Combat=
Some good to know basics about the combat system. 
==[[Health]] System==
Get familiar with how [[Health|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|mood]]) you enter [[Health#Critical_Status|softcrit]]. All you can do in this state is slowly crawl, and [[Radio_channels#Other_Communication_Codes|whisper]]. If this happens you have probably lost.
* After losing 150 HP you enter a [[Health#Critical_Status|hardcrit]] state. In this state you will be [[Status_Effects#Unconscious|unconscious]] and slowly die. If you [[Radio_channels#Other_Communication_Codes|whisper]] you will say your last words and succumb to death.

==Damage Zone==
[[File:Hud-target.gif]] 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 [[Health#Brute|brute damage]] can cut them off when using a sharp weapon. There are a few [[#Cheap_Tricks|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 (Look up is currently a useless verb)

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 [[Guide_to_drinks#Root_beer|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 [[Health#Damage_Types|damage]], [[Makeshift_weapons#Bola|bola]], [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|slipping them]], [[#Cheap_Tricks|other tricks]] or many other methods and they will be easier to hit with both [[#Melee_Weapons|melee]] and [[#Ranged_Weapons|ranged weapons]]. There are also ways to speed yourself up, such as [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Nuka_Cola|Nuka Cola]] from [[Vendor#Food_and_Drink_Machines|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 [[Terminology#Valid.2FValidhunting|valid]] or not, you should opt for a non-lethal takedown. Do this by somehow [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|stunning]] or [[Unconscious|knocking out]] your target and then [[Makeshift_weapons#Cablecuffs|cuffing]] it. If you do not have access to [[Security_items#Handcuffs|handcuffs]] [[File:Handcuffs.png]], you can easily craft [[Makeshift_weapons#Cablecuffs|cablecuffs]] [[File:Cablecuffs.png]] by activating [[Engineering_items#Cable_Coil|cable coils]] [[File:CableCoils.png]] in your hand. Cuff a person by holding cuffs in your active hand, and then clicking your target. {{Grab}} your target by ctrl + clicking it (works even while cuffing). Turn off {{Combat_Mode}} 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 [[Keyboard_Shortcuts#Hotkey-mode_Enabled|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 [[#Cuffing|cuff]] them, hurt them into a [[Health#Critical_Status|crit]] state, or [[Health#Death|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 typically mean both the [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] and the [[Status_Effects#Stun|stun]], both are types of [[Status_Effects#Disables|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 is [[Status Effects#Paralyze|stamina crit]], which occurs when a target experiences over 100 stamina damage. The [[Makeshift_weapons#Stunprod|stunprod]] [[File:Stunprod.png|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:Stunprod.png]] is a craftable weapon that deals 55 stamina damage, enough to stun someone in two hits. 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 [[Guide_to_chemistry#Narcotics|chemicals]], including from smoking [[Guide_to_chemistry#Nicotine|nicotine]]. Some stun weapons are conditional, such as the [[Security_items#Flash|flash]] [[File:Flash.gif]], which only works if the target has no [[Clothing_and_Accessories#Sunglasses|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 [[Mobs#Living Mobs|simplemobs]] and [[Guide_to_genetics#Mutations_and_Their_Consequences|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}} status, mouse button used and which [[#Melee Weapons|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 [[File:Traitor.png|64px]] just broke into your department and whipped out an [[Syndicate_items#Energy_Sword|energy sword]] and [[Syndicate_items#Mini_Energy_Crossbow|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 [[Syndicate_items#Energy_Sword|e-sword]]. You have have a few options. 

===Shoving===
First you should read about how shoving with {{Disarm}} 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 [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knocks him down]] and makes him drop both weapons. Then shove him one more time on the ground to [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] him for 3 seconds. Then you must quickly left click his own dropped [[Syndicate_items#Energy_Sword|energy sword]] to pick it up. Kill him with it. To avoid being shoved yourself you should try to not stand next to obstacles.  

===Grabbing===
You can {{Grab}}. For this to work you must know [[Syndicate_Items#CQC_Manual|CQC]] (because they make you aggressive grab instantly) or your enemy must either be temporarily stunned or standing still and not paying attention. First you ctrl + click your target once to passive grab. Keep ctrl + spam-clicking him and if he doesn't move or "[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|resist]]" to break out of your grab, you will grab him aggressively. This will make your target drop any held items. Either pick up the dropped [[Syndicate_items#Energy_Sword|energy sword]] and kill him with it, or continue to [[#Tabling|tabling]]. 

====Tabling====
When having an aggressive {{Grab}} on the enemy, you can quickly "table" him. Do this by enabling {{Combat_Mode}} and then clicking any [[Guide_to_construction#Tables.2FReinforced_Table|table]] [[File:table.png]] within your melee range. This will instantly transport him to the top of the table, and [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knock him down]] for 3 seconds, which deals 10 brute and 40 [[Health#Stamina|stamina]] damage. Quickly follow up with a {{Disarm}} shove to [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] him for 3 seconds. If you time it just right, you can permanently keep him stunned by waiting a moment and then spam {{Grab}} on him to aggressive again, and clicking the same table again, and then shoving him again. You can do this over and over until [[Health#Critical_Status|crit]] or [[Health#Stamina|stamcrit]]. If you are on the receiving end of this treatment you can yell for help and spam "[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|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 [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyzed]], so your enemy must mess up the timing for you to escape. <br>

If you know [[Syndicate_Items#CQC_Manual|CQC]] or [[Syndicate_Items#Martial Arts Scroll|sleeping carp]] any table will be destroyed if you table someone on it. Tabling on a [[Guide_to_construction#Tables.2FReinforced_Table|glass table]] [[File:Glass_table.png]] will stun for a long duration, but will break the table.

=====Table Head Slamming=====
If you somehow manage to upgrade your {{Grab}} to level 3, tabling someone will make you slam their head on the table. A head slam does 30 brute damage to the head, 40 [[Health#Stamina|stamina]] damage and 3 seconds of [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knockdown]]. Performing two head slams on the same standard table will destroy the table.

====Strangling====
If having an aggressive grab, you can reinforce your grab two more times by repeating {{Grab}}. The level 3 grab makes you grab his neck (deals no damage). Level 4 makes you start strangling him, causing [[Health#Oxygen|suffocation damage]]. This is a slow process, and the target can attempt to break free by spamming "[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|resist]]" or trying to move away. The target has 20% chance to break out per try (down from ~60% on aggressive grab) and takes 15-20 [[Health#Stamina|stamina]] damage every failed attempt. Strangling is rarely used unless the target is already [[#Cuffing|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.

====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|tabling]], you must throw the person away from you. Otherwise the thrown spaceman will hit yourself and [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] you both. Throwing him on top of a [[Guide_to_construction#Tables.2FReinforced_Table|glass table]] [[File:Glass_table.png]] will [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] him long enough to [[#Cuffing|cuff]] him. Throwing a person or a monkey corpse at someone is a reliable method to [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] someone for a moment. Throwing him at a [[Guide_to_construction#Walls|wall]] [[File:Wall.png]] or [[Guide_to_construction#Reinforced_Wall|reinforced wall]] [[File:R_wall.png]] will [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] him for a moment as well, and same against windows and some other objects but with reduced [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] time. Throwing him at an [[Guide_to_construction#Airlock|airlock]] [[File:Airlock.gif]] will make it open, if he is wearing a valid ID.

===Punching and kicking===
You enable {{Combat_Mode}} to be able to punch with {{Harm}}. Punching does a small and random amount of [[Health#Stamina|stamina]] and [[Health#Brute|brute]] damage. What you're hoping for though, is the random chance for a punch to cause a short [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knockdown]]. Keep clicking your target with punches until this happens, then quickly {{Disarm}} [[#Shoving|shove]] the target on the ground to [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] him for 3 seconds. Then quickly pick up the dropped [[Syndicate_items#Energy_Sword|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, which simply deals 1.5-15 [[Health#Brute|brute]] damage. Punches and kicks deal minimal amounts of stamina damage. Surgically replacing one of your arms with an Ethereal arm can prove to be useful, as you'll be able to give a burn wound or husk people without the need for a welding tool.

==Melee Weapons==
Fighting with [[#Melee Weapons|melee weapons]] works similarly to fighting [[#Unarmed_Combat|unarmed]]. You click the enemy while holding a melee weapon in your hand and you will deal damage to them with that weapon. The differences to [[#Unarmed_Combat|unarmed]] fighting is that there is usually no randomness to damage dealt, and {{Combat_Mode}} usually doesn't matter. Some weapons have alternate attacks though. [[Security_items#Stun_Baton|Stun batons]] [[File:StunBaton.gif]] and [[Makeshift_weapons#Stunprod|stunprods]] [[File:Stunprod.png]] will only deal damage with {{Leftclick}}. With {{Rightclick}} they will only [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|stun]] harmlessly. To defeat someone by only using a melee weapon, you should generally use as strong weapon as possible to give the target as little time as possible to counter you. Most melee weapons can't [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|stun]], so there is risk involved unless you manage to fully [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|stun]] your target before you start whacking.

===Throat Slicing===
You can slice someone's throat. While holding a sharp weapon, {{Grab}} until aggro (level 2) grab, and then {{Rightclick}} them while aiming for head. This takes a some time but will cause a heavily bleeding wound. Certain bladed weapons can slice throats faster, a good example being the butcher's cleaver. Another thing you can do after slicing someone's throat is by following up with a few blunt weapon strikes to cause a Tier 3 Blunt wound to your opponent's head.

===Pillow Smothering===
With this, you can cause a oxygen damage over time effect that stacks. While holding a Pillow, {{Rightclick}} them while aiming for head or mouth. This takes a some time but will ensure they pass out if you keep them still for long enough. The opponent needs to not have a mask on for this to work.

=Ranged Combat=
Ranged projectiles in this game use pixel perfect movement. Shoot by having a ranged weapon in your hand, and {{Leftclick}} or {{Rightclick}} clicking a target tile. The projectile will hit the first object in its path that can block it, but it will pass over some people/entities that are either resting/laying-down/crawling, [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyzed]], knocked-out ,[[Status_Effects#Sleep|sleeping]], [[Health#Critical_Status|softcrit]] or [[Health#Critical_Status|hardcrit]], or even [[Health#Death|dead]], so unless you click directly on that sprite/entity in question the projectile will pass over them. (and yes that means you can even blast windows with pew pew lasers.) Try to keep your mouse still the moment you click to fire/blast/throw to reduce the chance of your input being (ignored) interpreted/seen as a drag action, If you drag your mouse even slightly before releasing the click, your ranged attempt might be mistaken for a drag action. 

==Ranged Combat Controls==
Guns have some special controls depending on {{Combat_Mode}} or mouse button used:

* {{LeftclickCmodeoff}} Lets you fire at a target point blank with most guns by clicking directly on them. 
* {{LeftclickCmode}} Makes you perform a melee strike with your gun, unless you aim behind your target. 
* {{Rightclick}} Right-click someone point blank to take aim at them, making you hold them up. You will then fire at them with a reaction shot if they move. 
** Shooter can move freely within 2 tiles of the target without breaking the stickup.
** For the first 2.5 seconds after the hold-up, any triggered reaction shot will deal normal damage.
** Between 2.5-10 seconds after, any triggered reaction shot will deal double damage.
** After 10 seconds the reaction shot will deal 2.5x damage.
** If the shooter is attacked and takes damage from anything, they have a chance to flinch and fire the reaction shot. This is a 50% chance, unless they're hit in the arm holding the gun, in which case it's an 80% chance.
* {{LeftclickCmode}} or {{RightclickCmode}} With combat mode on, any mouse button lets you fire two guns at the same time. However you will also have a random spread to your accuracy unless you drop a gun.

==Throwing==
This is a safe way to take down a target. Pick nearby items up and throw them at the enemy. Most items deal the same damage when thrown as when used as a melee weapon. Some, such as [[Makeshift_weapons#Spear|spears]] [[File:Spear.png]], will deal even more. First pick an item up, then activate "throw" with the '''R''' key. Then click where you want to throw the object. You can pick up some [[Guide_to_construction#Chairs|chairs]] [[File:Chair.png]] or [[Guide_to_construction#Chairs|stools]] [[File:Stool.png]] for throwing, by dragging their sprites onto yours. Throwing, like [[#Ranged_Combat|ranged combat]], uses pixel perfect movement, which means you can throw in any direction. You can also craft a [[Makeshift_weapons#Bola|bolas]] to throw at enemies, which will slow them down until they [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|resist]] out of it. Thrown objects do not count as ranged shots and can not be reflected by [[Syndicate_items#Martial_Arts_Scroll|sleeping carp]] users. You can counter having items thrown at you by activating "throw" yourself (with '''R'''). If your active hand is empty, you will then capture the next object thrown at you, instead of getting hit by it.

===Embedding===
Some items, such as the [[Makeshift_weapons#Spear|spears]] [[File: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 [[Starter_guide#Controls|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#Removal_of_Embedded_Objects|surgery]]. Many items, such as [[#Glass Shard|glass shards]] [[File:Shard.png]] and [[Guide_to_construction#Rods|metal rods]] [[File:Rods.png]] can only embed from higher than normal throw speed, such as from explosions. Some more items that can embed from normal [[#Throwing|throws]] are: [[Syndicate_Items#Energy_Sword|Energy sword]] [[File:ESword.png]], [[#Combat_Knife|combat knife]] [[File:Buckknife.png]] and [[Syndicate_Items#Box_of_Throwing_Weapons|throwing star]] [[File:Tstar.png]].

==Execution With Guns==
If you target mouth [[File:Hud_target_mouth.gif]] and {{Leftclick}} with {{Combat_Mode}} off, you will aim at the target's head with a slow progress bar, and fire once it finishes (if the target is still in melee range). Mostly useful for roleplay. It also deals 10 times more damage. If you select a different body part [[File:Hud-target.gif]] before firing, you will spare your target.

=Weapons=
This is not a list of how much damage each item does, just some of the best items and short notes on how to best use them. If you feel something should be added, please go ahead and do so, if it's robust enough.  This is in alphabetical order. While most items in the game can be used as a makeshift weapon, actual dedicated weapons are far more effective in harming, subduing or killing a target.

=Offense=
Having good offense and good footwork may help you overcome enemies that are stronger than you. Here's some tips:

* Use [[Bola]]<nowiki/>s to slow down your opponent, then run circles around them in a way that they can barely know where you're gonna go or how they're gonna hit you.
* Try to put your opponent under pressure, quite a lot of player don't do well under pressure.
* Use anything you can that will boost your speed. (examples: [[Ephedrine]])
* Use weapons that will make you have a chance at blocking an attack (example: a wooden buckler)
* Utilize banana cream pies or use a combination of weapons in a row to quickly delimb a player, once they lose a leg or both arms, you have a significant advantage.
* Piercing and/or Slashing multiple limbs in a row can lead to fainting from blood-loss faster than a simple throat slice.
* Blasting both of someone's arms off or their leg off with [[Plasma Cutter]]<nowiki/>s

==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.

|Civilian
|Has to be broken first, to break simply enable {{Combat_Mode}} 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 opponent, 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 opponent on fire.

|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.
|-

![[File:Scalpel.png|64px]]
!{{anchor|Scalpel}}[[Scalpel]]
|10 Brute
|[[Operating Theatre]] [[Autolathe]].
|Civilian: Medical/Research
|Despite being not as good at the saw, this is still quite robust.  Jabbing people in the eyes occasionally stuns them and eventually blinds them, limiting their ability to run. Best part is you can have it your pocket 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.
|-

![[File:Shard.png|64px]]
!{{anchor|Glass Shard}}[[Glass Shard]]
|5 Brute<br>10 thrown
|Anywhere there's [[glass]] (read: everywhere).
|Civilian
|Extremely easy to obtain, just break a glass/reinforced glass pane or climb a glass table. Works also as a ghetto scalpel. You need gloves to hit stuff with it without cutting yourself, but you can still throw it. You can also make a shiv with it by applying cloth to it.
|-

![[File:Screwdriver_tool.png|64px]]
!{{anchor|Screwdriver}}[[Screwdriver]]
|5 Brute
|Most storage rooms and [[Engineering]].
|Civilian
|Its robustness doesn't come from the damage, but from its thin, pointed edge. Anyone not wearing glasses can have their eyes stabbed out causing them lose sight. Doesn't make them mute so they'll still scream, or might even fight back before you have a chance to blind them enough.
|-

!{{anchor|Surgical Drill}}[[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. Is useful for leaving lasting wounds that will kill if not treated.
|-

![[File:BlueToolbox.png|64px]]
!{{anchor|Toolbox}}[[Toolbox]]
|12 Brute
|Most storage rooms and [[Engineering]].
|Civilian
|Rather common. Althought it deals a moderate amount of damage, it's a bulky item, so you'll have to hold it. An [[Assistant]] loves to fight in arenas with these.
|-

![[File:Welder.png|64px]]
!{{anchor|Welding tool}}[[Welding tool]]
|3 Brute when off <br> 15 Burn when on
|Most storage rooms and [[Engineering]].
|Civilian
|When switched on, it deals a robust amount of burn damage, but consumes fuel after every hit. Can be filled with 1 unit of fuel and 19 units of liquid plasma to make an ingenious explosive. Welder wounds on limbs make said limb easier to wound and thus, easier to lop off with a bladed weapon.

|[[Makeshift weapons|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.
|-

|You can [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgically replace an arm]] with a chainsaw. Can break an airlock down. Faster when on, slower when off. High wound capability, aim for the legs and arms to put them under max bloodloss.

===Actual Melee Weapon===
Unlike makeshift melee weapons, these melee weapons are usually more reliable and robust, however most station personnel can't get access to them, as well as these weapons being very noticeable.

==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. (THIS ARTICLE IS HEAVILY OUTDATED AS IT LACKS A LOT OF RANGED WEAPONRY THAT CAN BE FOUND, READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION)

==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.

=Defense=
To be good at combat, you must be able to survive an encounter with anything; Nuclear Operatives, Wizards, Assistants and such.  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]].

== Stuns and Incapacitation ==

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).

==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.

=Cheap Tricks=
There many tricks to winning a fight. These are only a select few of them:
* Aim for eyes [[File:Hud_target_eyes.gif]] and stab multiple times with a screwdriver to make the target blind. Only works if target has no [[Clothing_and_Accessories#Eyewear|eyewear]]. 
* Alt-click a [[Fire Extinguisher]] [[File:Fire_extinguisher.gif]] while holding it to subtly empty its water on the floor below you. People chasing you may [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|slip]].
* Carry a bottle or beaker of water. {{Rightclick}} the ground with it to splash the water on the ground, making people [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|slip]].
* Drag a [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] behind you to [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|slip]] people. 
* You can hide remote bombs, [[Grenades]] or other explosives in toilets. Prepare some traps beforehand, get their attention, make a tactical retreat so you have them right where you want them. Once they are, press the [[Remote Signaling Device]] button by disarm-clicking with it in your active hand.
* Drag an open crate [[File:GrayCrate.png]] behind you. People accidentally clicking the crate will put their weapon in it.
* Smashing a [[Guide_to_Combat#Broken_Bottle|bottle]] upon someone's head or throwing one with the correct chemicals at them makes for a quick [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knockdown]].
* If you know what you're doing (or are an [[Terminology#Antag|antag]]), learn how to make and utilize [[Guide_to_chemistry#Explosion|bombs]]. 
* Build with the Rapid Pipe Dispenser and launch yourself out of a 1-way chute disposal at your opponent while having a stun-reduction reagent in your bloodstream to immediately get a chance to turn the tides.<br>

There is much more to learn than this. Some things must come from experience, or from [[Ghost|observing]] others. Good luck out there, and don't hate yourself if you fail. Just try again another round. What follows below is a table of some common, or just robust, items that may help you win. Much of it is outdated, so don't rely on the numbers.
