Руководство по боёвке

This is a table of some common, or just robust, things. This is not a list of how much damage each item does, just the best items and short notes on how to use them best. If you feel something should be added, please go ahead and do so, if it's robust enough. This is in alphabetical order:

Weapons

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

Melee Weapons

Most station personal 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.

Make Shift Weapon

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
	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 change intent to harm 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 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.
	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.
	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, if it has metal to make it.
	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're aren't in short supply. Unlikely to be taken by security if they search you. They are also very useful if you get spaced, spray in opposite direction of where you want to go, 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. Toxins lab Atmospherics Operating Theatre (for anaesthetic tanks).	Civilian	Found across the station so they're aren't in 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).
	Fire Axe	5 Onehand 24 Twohand	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 and it's a large object. Best to store this on your back. They are also rare, one is in Atmos and the other is in 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 ones.
	Hatchet	12 Brute 15 thrown	Hydroponics.	Civilian: Botany	Botanists use these to chop wood, they also are good at chopping limbs. Easy to conceal, and if you're a Botanist, security probably won't care if you're carrying one. Throwing it at someone deals 15 damage. Bonus points for finishing off an escaping enemy 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, as Security are unlikely to give a single shit if they see 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 him. It can destroy runes and protect against some cult magics. Can be transformed into a variety of religious weapons, with different characteristics.
	Pickaxe	15 Brute	Mining Dock and Mining Station.	Civilian: Supply	Fairly robust, but it's very big, so it can only be stored on the back or belt slot. 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.
	Compact Pickaxe	10 Brute	Mining Dock and Mining Station, in miner's equipment closets.	Civilian	Does less damage, but can fit in a backpack.
	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.
	Scalpel	10 Brute	Operating Theatre Autolathe.	Civilian: Medical/Research	Despite being not as good at the saw, this is still quite robust. 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.
	Glass Shard	5 Brute 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.
	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.
	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.
	Toolbox	10 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.
	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 after every hit.
	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.
	Spear	10 brute in Onehand 18 brute when wielded/Twohand 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.
	Chainsaw	13 Brute when off 21 Brute when on	Made by yourself	Civilian	You can surgically replace an arm with a chainsaw. Can break an airlock down.
	Baseball bat	10 Brute	Made by yourself	Civilian	Knocks back targets on hit.

Actual Melee Weapon

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

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.
	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
	Double-bladed Energy Sword	3 Brute Off 34 Brute On	Combine two Energy Swords	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 opponent. When wielded it gives a 100% chance to deflect energy-based shots, like tasers and lasers. Like the energy sword, its activation is very loud. To create this, you must combine two Energy Swords together of any color (hold one in each hand and click the other sword) or receive it in a Syndicate Bundle. You cannot put two holodeck swords together. 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 force can get these easily. Deploy liberally, but stow for transport.
	Katana	40 brute	Possible loot from necropolis chests in Lavaland and in the ninja bundle.	Mining and Traitors	Real katanas are very robust, but only miners or traitors have a reasonable chance of finding them.
	Telescopic Baton	10 Brute	Heads of Staff's backpacks.	Command	Like the stunbaton but retractable, with a shorter stun time, but the same capability for bludgeoning. Heads of Staff start their shift with one in their backpack. Be sure to 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.
	Combat Knife	20 Brute	Can be ordered through Cargo.	Security	Very robust for its size.

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
	Desert Eagle	.50	7 Rounds	60 Brute	Summon guns, can spawn in the secure contraband locker on metastation.	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.
	Mateba	.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.
	Revolver	.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	.38	6 Rounds	15 Brute + Knockdown	Detective's locker or summon guns.	Security	Knocks down targets, causing some minor damage. Can be modified to fire .357, but may break with the modification.
	Stetchkin Pistol	10mm	8 rounds	30 Brute	Syndicate Uplink.	Syndicate	The nuke op's weapon last resort; spend telecrystals on something better. Small enough to fit in pockets. One of the few guns that takes the universal silencer.
	Russian Revolver	.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.

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
	Taser	Energy	5 Electrodes	Stun target	Armory, taser crates and summon guns.	Security	If you're trying to kill someone, stun, then beat the living daylights out of them.
	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. It's worth noting that the stun is shorter than the standard taser gun.

Pulse Based

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	Pulse Pistol	Energy	5 Pulse, 10 Laser, 10 Stun	50 Burn	Emergency Response Team	Nanotrasen	A sidearm based on the Pulse Rifle. Is capable of fitting inside pockets and other small places but has a very limited ammo capacity. Issued to all Elite Emergency Response Team personal.

Longarm (Ballistic)

Automatic

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	C20r SMG	12mm	20 Rounds	20 Brute + Knockdown	Can only be found in Nuke rounds, or with Summon guns.	Syndicate	It knocks the target down, similar to the detective's revolver, except chances are if you go down, you're not getting back up.
	WT550 Automatic Rifle	4.6×30mm	20 Rounds	20 Brute	Security and Cargo.	Nanotrasen	A older rifle often used by paramilitary or high security forces.
	L6 SAW	.762	50 Rounds	60 Brute	Nuke ops and summon guns only.	Syndicate	Holds the most ammo of any gun, 50 shots dealing 60 brute damage each, two good shots on someone and they're down.
	Uzi	9mm	32 rounds	20 Brute	Summon guns, Gang Wars	Gangs	A lightweight, fast firing gun, for when you want someone dead. Uses 9mm rounds.

Shotgun

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	Improvised Shotgun	12 Gauge shells	1 Shell	Depends on shell	Crafted	Civilian	A handcrafted shotgun made of scavenged materials. To load shells, simply use the full shell on the shotgun; when you shoot a shell, you need to eject it manually by using the shotgun in your hand before shooting another.
	Double-Barrelled Shotgun	12 Gauge shells	2 Shells	Depends on shell	Bar.	Civilian	Easiest shotgun to get, yet the rarest. Only one starts on the station and the Bartender likes to keep it in case of bar fights. Can be sawn off with a circular saw (make sure it's not loaded). A sawn-off shotgun will fit in your backpack. To load shells, simply use the full shell on the shotgun. Use it in hand to eject the shells.
	Riot Shotgun	12 Gauge shells	6 Shells	Depends on shell	The Armoury and summon spells.	Security	A uncommon shotgun, typically only used in emergencies by Security or when facing someone with ranged energy protection. Is the only main shotgun on the station at round start sans the bartender's double barrel. To load shells, simply use the full shell on the shotgun; when you shoot a shell, you need to eject it manually by using the shotgun in your hand before shooting another.
	Combat Shotgun	12 Gauge Shells	8 Shells	Depends on shell	Ordered in Cargo and from Summon guns.	Nanotrasen	The highest ammo capacity of any shotgun. Best of all, you don't need to manually eject shells after shooting.
	Bulldog	12 Gauge shells	8 Shells	Depends on drum	Uplink	Syndicate	A powerful semi-automatic, drum fed, shotgun employed by syndicate nuclear operative teams.
	Compact Combat Shotgun	12 Gauge shells	4 Shells	Depends on shell	Wardens Locker	Security	Unique weapon held by the Warden. A compact version of the combat shotgun with a four shell capacity. Can fit in armor slots.

Shotgun Shells

• Buckshot: Shoots 6 pellets dealing 12.5 brute damage each, for a maximum of 75. Extremely lethal at close range.
• Rubber Shot: Shoots 6 pellets dealing 3 brute and 25 stamina damage each. More effective at stopping a target, but stamina damage fades with time.
• Beanbag: Shoots one single beanbag, dealing 5 brute and 80 stamina damage. The bartender uses these by default.
• Stun Shell: Shoots an electrode that stuns on hit, much like a taser.
• Incendiary Slug: Shoots a single projectile that leaves a fire trail and ignites the target, on top of 20 brute damage.
• Shotgun Dart: A single dart that can contain up to 30 units of chemicals that'll be injected on hit.
• Technological Shells: Unloaded technological shells can be made in a Protolathe. See here for the recipes.
  • Meteorshot Shell: A single powerful projectile, deals 30 brute damage and stuns for 8 seconds. Pushes back machinery on hit.
  • Pulse Slug: Works like one of the deathsquad's pulse rifle shots, dealing 50 burn damage and damaging or destroying walls and machinery.
  • Dragonsbreath Shell: Like the incendiary slug, but shoots a spread of 4 burning pellets. Deals less direct damage.
  • FRAG-12 Slug: An explosive shell that knocks down targets and causes an explosion where it hits, on top of dealing 25 brute damage.
  • Ion Scatter Shell: Shoots a spread of 4 ion bolts, each of which ions a single target instead of the 3x3 area hit by normal ion rifles.
  • Laser Slug: Shoots a laser similar to a normal laser gun shot, dealing 20 burn damage.

Longarm (Energy)

Laser Based

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	Laser Gun	Energy	10 Lasers	20 Burn	Armory, weapons crates and summon guns.	Security	No real reason to use this over the energy gun as it is lethal ONLY.
	Laser Cannon	Energy	10 Lasers	40 Burn	R&D Lab once researched first.	Nanotrasen	Must be researched first. This is the Laser Gun's bigger brother, fear him, he will fuck you over.
	Energy Gun	Energy	10 Lasers, 20 Disable	20 Burn Stun	Armory, Energy Weapons Crate or Summon guns.	Security	A versatile energy weapon. Best thing is to disable a target and then either handcuff (for arresting) or spam the other remaining shots at them on kill mode (for murder).
	Advanced Energy Gun	Energy	10 (recharges over time)	20 Burn/Stun target	R&D Lab once researched first.	Nanotrasen	Using advanced wizardry SCIENCE, a mini nuclear generator has been fitted into this gun to provide unlimited shots! Researched from R&D. Cannot be used in recharging units. Unreliable models may emit radiation, take caution.
	Antique Laser Gun	Energy	12 (recharges over time)	20 Burn	Captain's Quarters.	Nanotrasen	The prized weapon of the Captain, and the target of many enemy horses. Similar to the laser gun except it's recharged all by itself. They just don't make guns like they used to.
	X-01 Multiphase Energy Gun	Energy	5 Stun, 10 Laser, 20 Disable	20 Burn	Head of Security.	Nanotrasen	The first attempt by Nanotrasen to remake the Captain's Antique Laser. Has more firing modes on offer but lacks the ability to recharge.
	Ion Rifle	Energy	10 Ion Pulses	20 Brute to silicon mobs Up to 90 damage to mechs 3x3 EMP	Armory and on the Nuclear Operative shuttle.	Security	Large and unwieldy, great for dealing with mechs. Cyborgs are weak to it: flashing cyborgs totally immobilizes them and it leaves you free to robust them to your heart's content.
	Retro Laser	Energy	12 Lasers	20 Burn	White Ship.	Unknown	Found on the white ship, this old beast is like the laser gun; anyone with a spaaaaaace suit and a little know-how can reach it.
	Temperature Gun	Energy	40 Freeze/heat Beams	Heats/Cools target dependent upon the setting.	R&D Lab once researched first.	Nanotrasen	Another researched gun, if you can make this (more importantly, open that damn lockbox), chances are you can construct something better (read: laser cannon). Generally useless, except perhaps for killing slimes if you really don't want to get close.
	X-Ray Gun	Energy	20 Lasers	15 Burn + 30 Irradiate	R&D Lab once researched first.	Nanotrasen	This beams from this gun will pass through everything but a wall. While it does do less burn damage, the radiation it inflicts causes toxin damage and can make someone mutate. Great for shooting up crowded hallways. Kills blobs dead. Current range of the gun is 15 tiles and drops further with every obstacle passed by the beam.

Pulse Based

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	Pulse Rifle	Energy	200 Pulse	50 Burn	Deathsquad	Nanotrasen	The most powerful energy weapon in existence. Bruteforces energy weapon's ammo problems by having a very large power source. Its pulse setting is capable of doing massive damage to a target as well as destroying cover and walls.
	Pulse Carbine	Energy	10 Pulse, 20 Laser, 10 Stun	50 Burn	Emergency Response Team	Nanotrasen	A scaled down version of the Pulse Rifle, holds significantly less power than the Pulse Rifle but is capable of being placed inside bags. Issued to Elite Emergency Response Team Security personal.

Misc Weapons

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	Chem Sprayer	Chemicals	600 units total 150 units of Spore Toxin (Causes blindness) 150 units of Cryptobiolin 150 units of Unstable Mutagen 150 units of Chloral Hydrate	Confusion, blindness, dizziness, knockout, and random mutations with the standard reagents.	Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 10 telecrystals, only available to Nuclear Agents.	Syndicate	Think of it as a spray bottle. Except each spray is three tiles wide and can travel the entire screen. Generally kept away from players due to the potential of the lubepocalypse.
	Flamethrower	Gas of your choice	Depends on tank pressure	Depends on the gas	Made by yourself or with a hacked Autolathe	Civilian	You are a firestarter! Allows for creative gas mixes if you know your atmos. An area denial tool, generally useful for making small areas uninhabitable for people, not so useful when trying to kill someone, as it's easy to run away.
	Syringe Gun	Syringes	1 Syringe	6 Brute + 15u chemicals	Medbay Storage.	Civilian	In fact, this is very robust. Think of it as a ranged hypospray.
	Rapid Syringe Gun	Syringes	6 Syringes	6 Brute + 15u chemicals	R&D Lab once researched first.	Nanotrasen	See the syringe gun, but take into account it holds six syringes. Can be made through researching them, and only costs metal and glass to make. This gun gives you the power to fuck over six people at once!

Admin Only Weapons

These weapons are currently restricted to admin spawn only, some may also appear in 'summon gun' events during a Wizard round however.

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	Silenced Pistol	.45	12 rounds	20 Brute + Knockdown	Away missions. Admins.	Admin	A small, quiet, easily concealable gun. Uses .45 rounds.
	Tommy Gun	9mm	50 rounds	20 Brute + Knockdown	Admins	Admin	A genuine Chicago Typewriter.
	Gyrojet Pistol	.75	8 Rounds	74 Brute from direct hit 24 from a tile away explosion (-1, 0, 2)	Summon guns exclusive.	Admin	Delivers an explosion with every shot, plus you can afford to be less accurate with it, as the explosion hits 3x3, so it's great against groups.

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).

Three kinds of stuns

Humans can get stunned in three different ways. The most common one is 'Weaken'. It causes you to fall and makes you unable to do anything except talking. 'Stun' is all the same, except you don't fall down. Paralysis knocks you out completely, you can't even talk or hear what's happening.

You can also be sleeping, which is the same as paralysis, but caused and treated by different things.

Icon	Item	Type of Stun	How to Acquire	Notes
	Stun Baton	Weaken + Stun Duration 7	Security	Not being security, and having this out, is likely to land you in the brig.
	Stunprod	Weaken + Stun Duration 5	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	Weaken Duration 3	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.
	Flash	Stun Duration 5	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.
	Taser	Weaken + Stun Duration 5	Security	A ranged stun, which sets Sec apart from everyone else. Has five charges. Can be switched to disabler mode.
	Disarm Intent	Weaken Duration 2	Have arms	You have a chance to disarm (make someone drop their weapon) or push someone down when attacking with the disarm intent. Someone pushed down will also drop their weapon. Very brief.
	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	Weaken + Stun Duration varies with distance. Max 10	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.
	Laser Pointer	Blinds humans Weaken on cyborgs Duration 5-10	Lawyer, Librarian, Research Director	Has a chance of blinding people and cyborgs, like a Flash; a fully upgraded laser pointer has a 100% chance.
	Disabler	Stamina damage	Switch the Hybrid Taser mode. 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. Consumes less energy and can travel further than taser electrodes.
	Resonant Shriek	Weaken Duration 5-10	Being a changeling	Only weakens cyborgs. Humans become deaf and confused.
	Stun Talisman	Weaken + Stun Duration 10 + 15 duration silence	Being a cultist and making one.	Works on cyborgs. Blocked by null rod.
	Beepsky	Weaken + Stun Duration 5	Made in robotics.	Attacks those set to arrest, and, depending on the mode, with weapons out without permission.
	ED-209	Weaken + Stun Duration 5	Made in robotics.	Attacks those set to arrest, and, depending on the mode, with weapons out without permission.

Icon	Counter	Type of Stun	How to Acquire	Notes
	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.
	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 completely block damage.

Icon	Item	How to acquire	Protection	Notes
	Riot Shield	Armory	Blocks melee and projectile attacks to the chest.	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.
	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.
	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 most projectiles	Needs to be turned on to work. Counts as a shield just like the riot shield.

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.

Body Armor

Icon	Item	How to acquire	Protection	Defense values %	Notes
	Captain's Armor	Captain's Quarters	Offers moderate protection from most sources.	melee = 40 bullet = 50 laser = 50 energy = 25 bomb = 50 bio = 100 rad = 50 fire = 100 acid = 100	The Captain will sometimes wear this. It's also space-worthy, but it will slow you down. Wearing this while not the Captain is a good way to get robusted.
	Captain's Carapace	Captain's Quarters	Offers moderate protection from most sources.	melee = 50 bullet = 40 laser = 50 energy = 10 bomb = 25	A special armor vest unique to the Captain. Offers far greater protection than most armor, and also displays your authority to the crew.
	Engineering Hardsuit	Engineering	Gives low protection from melee attacks and explosions.	melee = 30 bullet = 5 laser = 10 energy = 5 bomb = 10 bio = 100 rad = 75 fire = 100 acid = 75	See here for information on the different styles.
	Atmospherics Hardsuit	Atmospherics	Identical to normal RIG however it is one of the only items that grants complete protection from Fire at the cost of no Radiation protection.	melee = 30 bullet = 5 laser = 10 energy = 5 bomb = 10 bio = 100 fire = 100 acid = 75	See here for information on the different styles.
	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. Essentially becoming a spaceworthy riot suit. The helmet must be upgraded independently of the suit.	melee = 30 - 70 bullet = 5 laser = 10 energy = 5 bomb = 50 bio = 100 rad = 50 fire = 50 acid = 75	See here for information on the different styles.
	CE Hardsuit	Chief Engineer	Gives good protection from melee attacks, near complete Radiation protection and complete protection against Fire.	melee = 40 bullet = 5 laser = 10 energy = 5 bomb = 50 bio = 100 rad = 90 fire = 100 acid = 90	See here for information on the different styles.
	CMO Hardsuit	Chief Medical Officer	Provides little physical protection and does not block intense light based weapons, such as flashbangs or flashes. But is a easy to access Hardsuit for the CMO.	melee = 30 bullet = 5 laser = 10 energy = 5 bomb = 10 bio = 100 rad = 50 fire = 75 acid = 75	See here for information on the different styles.
	RD Hardsuit	Research Director	More accurately described as a space proof bomb suit. One of the only Hardsuits to provide 100% bomb protection, the helmet also has a diagnostic HUD built in.	melee = 30 bullet = 5 laser = 10 energy = 5 bomb = 100 bio = 100 rad = 60 fire = 60 acid = 80	See here for information on the different styles.
	Security Hardsuit	E.V.A.	Gives slightly increased protection against all damage sources.	melee = 30 bullet = 15 laser = 30 energy = 10 bomb = 10 bio = 100 rad = 50 fire = 75 acid = 75	See here for information on the different styles.
	HoS Hardsuit	E.V.A.	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.
	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.
	Ablative Armor Vest	Armory	Gives excellent protection against Laser and Energy attacks and can even deflect them.	melee = 10 bullet = 10 laser = 60 energy = 50	It will sometimes deflect energy projectiles, which includes Taser shots! It's also a traitor objective. Expect to receive a harsh sentence from security if caught with this.
	Bulletproof Vest	Armory	Makes the wearer very resilient to bullets at the cost of being poor defense against other weapons.	melee = 15 bullet = 80 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 = 25 bullet = 15 laser = 25 energy = 10 bomb = 25	The standard armor found on security mooks. Also sometimes found on Ian.
	Riot Suit	Armory	This, combined with the riot shield, will make you be the nightmare of fire extinguisher -wielding assistants everywhere. 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.
	Deathsquad Armor	Death Squad	Extremely robust armor found only on Deathsquad Officers. Offers strong protection against all damage sources to the entire body, in addition to being spaceworthy. 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.
	Bomb Suit	Toxins Lab, Armory	Protects you from bombs. Even if a bomb manages to kill you, your body will not be gibbed and you can be cloned.	melee = 40 laser = 20 energy = 10 bomb = 100	A suit designed for safety when handling explosives.
	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%.

The dermal armor in the HoS's locker offers the same protection as this.
