Нуждается в пересмотре!Причина: "The 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 If you are reading it much later some things may be outdated.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 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.
- 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 (Including guns): 0.4 seconds
- Rapid attacks: (Gloves of the north star, the bee sword): 0.2 seconds
- Abilities: 0.6 seconds (Action buttons, like a changelings fleshmend)
- Breakout (Escaping handcuffs): 10 seconds (This means that once you initiated a breakout you will be unable to click on anything for 10 whole seconds! Freedom implants and disintegrate have cooldowns of 0.2 seconds instead)
- Handcuffed: 1 second (Currently bugged/deprecated, supposedly was the cooldown for attacking while cuffed)
- Resisting: 2 seconds (Notable that you are locked out of attacking for two whole seconds after resisting, even if you have nothing to resist out of.)
- Grabbing: 1 second
- Look up: 5 seconds (Cooldown after pressing the look up verb, very odd that this even exists)
Also, 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.
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 
by activating cable coils 
in your hand. Cuff a person by holding cuffs in your active hand, and then clicking your target.

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 typically mean both the paralyze and the stun, both 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 is stamina crit, which occurs when a target experiences over 100 stamina damage. The stunprod 
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 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 Боевой режим Включается при помощи клавиши 4, выключается при помощи клавиши 1 или может быть переключен при помощи клавиши F при стандартной раскладке.

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

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.
Grabbing

Повторите действие после небольшой задержки чтобы усилить хватку до агрессивной (уровень 2), шеи (уровень 3) и удушающей (уровень 4).. For this to work you must know 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 "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 energy sword and kill him with it, or continue to tabling.
Tabling

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.
Table Head Slamming
If you somehow manage to upgrade your Удерживайте Ctrl и нажмите левый клик по человеку пустой рукой.

Повторите действие после небольшой задержки чтобы усилить хватку до агрессивной (уровень 2), шеи (уровень 3) и удушающей (уровень 4). 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 stamina damage and 3 seconds of 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 Удерживайте Ctrl и нажмите левый клик по человеку пустой рукой. Неважно включен Боевой режим Включается при помощи клавиши 4, выключается при помощи клавиши 1 или может быть переключен при помощи клавиши F при стандартной раскладке.

Повторите действие после небольшой задержки чтобы усилить хватку до агрессивной (уровень 2), шеи (уровень 3) и удушающей (уровень 4).. The level 3 grab makes you grab his neck (deals no damage). Level 4 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) and takes 15-20 stamina damage every failed attempt. 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.
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 
or reinforced wall 
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 
will make it open, if he is wearing a valid ID.

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, which simply deals 1.5-15 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 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.

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.

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 spears 
, 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 chairs 
or stools 
for throwing, by dragging their sprites onto yours. Throwing, like ranged combat, uses pixel perfect movement, which means you can throw in any direction. You can also craft a bolas to throw at enemies, which will slow them down until they resist out of it. Thrown objects do not count as ranged shots and can not be reflected by 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 spears , 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 
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 
, combat knife 
and throwing star 
.

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
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 Bolas 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 Cutters
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.

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 Боевой режим Включается при помощи клавиши 4, выключается при помощи клавиши 1 или может быть переключен при помощи клавиши F при стандартной раскладке. Нажатие левой кнопки на людей пустой рукой с включённым боевым режимом приведёт к удару или приведёт к помощи если он отключен. Также позволяет вам не меняться местами с человеком или толкнуть вас если вы столкнулись. 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.

|
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 it's 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 attacks 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, 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. Ordnance 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. 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. 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, belt or 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. |
|
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. 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 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. |
|
|
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. You can also make a shiv with it by applying cloth to 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. Is useful for leaving lasting wounds that will kill if not treated. |
|
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. |
|
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. 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. |
|
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. Spears can be made with plasma shards, titanium shards or even plastitanium shards to make them even more dangerous. |
|
Chainsaw | 24 Brute when on | Made by yourself | Civilian | You can 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. |
|
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. However, this doesn't work against bullets. |
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.

|
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 |
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 opponent. 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 force can get these easily. Deploy liberally, but stow for transport. |
|
Katana | 40 brute | Possible loot from the ninja bundle. | Traitors | Real katanas are very robust, but only traitors have a reasonable chance of finding them. |
|
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 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. |
|
|
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. |
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.
| Icon | Item | Ammo | Capacity | Damage & Effects | How to Acquire | Faction Usage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Desert Eagle |  .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. |
|
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. Can spawn in contraband lockers. |
|
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 | 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 |  9mm |
8 rounds | 30 Brute | Syndicate Uplink. | Syndicate | The nuke op's weapon last resort; spend telecrystals on something better (unless you weren't good enough to be promoted to an op). Small enough to fit in pockets. One of the few guns that takes the universal silencer. Can be found in the contraband locker. |
|
|
Russian Revolver | .357 |
1 round. Can load up to 6. | 60 Brute 300 Brute when used on self |

C-20r SMG |  .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. |
|
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. Has some boutique ammo that can be researched and printed at the Security Techfab to expand its' usefulness. Practically just a brute, harder to reload in most cases laser gun. |
|
L6 SAW |  7.12x82mm |
50 Rounds | 45 Brute | Nuke ops and summon guns only. | 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 | 9mm |

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 |
7 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. It can also be sawed off with a circular saw or chainsaw to fit in your backpack. |
|
Combat Shotgun | 12 Gauge Shells |
7 Shells | Depends on shell | Armory contraband locker, 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. Unlike the riot shotgun, it cannot be sawed off and can only be carried on your back. |

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).

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. | |||||

Laser Pointer | Blinds humans Stuns 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. | |||||

ED-209 | Stamina damage | 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 randomly 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. Tanking too much damage with it can cause the shield to shatter, stunning you. |
|
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
Notice| Icon | Item | How to acquire | Protection | Defense values % | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Captain's SWAT Suit | 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 | Brig, or in the case of BoxStation in 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 | Head of Security's Office, or in the case of BoxStation in 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 = 60 |
It will sometimes deflect energy projectiles, which includes disabler shots! |
|
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 bio = 0rad = 0fire = 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. |
|
Durathread Vest | Botany | A vest made of durathread with strips of leather acting as trauma plates. | melee = 20 bullet = 10 laser = 30 energy = 40 bomb = 15 fire = 40 |
Something |
|
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 revived. | 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%. |
|
Large Armor Vest | SecTech | Same stats as Body Armor, just cosmetically different. | melee = 35 bullet = 30 laser = 30 energy = 40 bomb = 25 bio = 0rad = 0fire = 50 acid = 50 |
Premium item from SecTech vendor. |
|
Durathread Jumpsuit | Botany | A jumpsuit made from durathread, its resilient fibres provide some protection to the wearer. | melee" = 10 laser = 10 fire = 40 acid = 10 bomb" = 5 |
Something |
|
MK.I SWAT Suit | Order it from Cargo | An all rounded suit available through the Cargo Supply Console for 6000 points. 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. |
|
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. EVA is space proof while Combat is not, but increases your speed, fits in backpacks. Property of Gorlex Marauders. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Helmet | Security Office | Standard head gear for security mooks. Keeps your head safe. | melee = 35 bullet = 30 laser = 30 energy = 10 bomb = 25 |

|
Swat Helmet | Derelict or order it from Cargo | A rare and extremely powerful helmet that protects against all kinds of damage. Spaceworthy. | melee = 40 bullet = 30 laser = 25 energy = 25 bomb = 50 bio = 10 |

|
Riot Helmet | Armory | Provides excellent melee protection, but lacks in other areas. | melee = 45 bullet = 15 laser = 5 energy = 5 bomb = 5 bio = 2 |
Useful during revolutions, and other situations where you might be swarmed with melee weapons. |
|
Head of Security Hat | HoS | Provides robust head protection in all damage types. The HoS starts with this. | melee = 40 bullet = 30 laser = 25 energy = 10 bomb = 25 bio = 10 |
Powerful and stylish, also for showing who is in charge around here. The dermal armor in the HoS's locker offers the same protection as this. |
|
Durathread Beanie | Botany | A beanie made from durathread, its resilient fibres provide some protection to the wearer. | melee = 15 bullet = 5 laser = 15 energy = 25 bomb = 10 bio = 0 fire = 30 |

Cheap Tricks
There many tricks to winning a fight. These are only a select few of them:
- Aim for eyes
and stab multiple times with a screwdriver to make the target blind. Only works if target has no eyewear. - Alt-click a Fire Extinguisher
while holding it to subtly empty its water on the floor below you. People chasing you may slip. - Carry a bottle or beaker of water. Простой правый клик. Не имеет значения включен или выключен Боевой режим Включается при помощи клавиши 4, выключается при помощи клавиши 1 или может быть переключен при помощи клавиши F при стандартной раскладке. Нажатие левой кнопки на людей пустой рукой с включённым боевым режимом приведёт к удару или приведёт к помощи если он отключен. Также позволяет вам не меняться местами с человеком или толкнуть вас если вы столкнулись.. the ground with it to splash the water on the ground, making people slip.
- Drag a soap
behind you to 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
behind you. People accidentally clicking the crate will put their weapon in it. - Smashing a bottle upon someone's head or throwing one with the correct chemicals at them makes for a quick knockdown.
- If you know what you're doing (or are an antag), learn how to make and utilize 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.
There is much more to learn than this. Some things must come from experience, or from 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.
