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:
Melee weapons
Icon | Item | Damage | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Broken Bottle | 15 Brute | 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. | |
Butcher's Knife | 15 Brute | Somewhat hard to get. You have to hack the Dinnerware vending machine. Security will likely have their suspicions as the only reason to have this over the normal knife is its robusting power. | |
Circular Saw | 15 Brute | 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. | |
Cult Blade | 30 Brute | Those who aren't Cultist suffer from wielding this blade...MENTALLY. Aside from being very robust, it is really Cult exclusive. Expect a wave of batons when Security sees you holding this. | |
Energy Sword | 3 Brute Off 30 Brute On |
Despite being very strong in melee combat, its activation is loud, very obvious to those around you, and not viable unless you are a traitor. However, it can sometimes deflect laser and stun shots back the way they came! TURN IT ON BEFORE YOU USE IT | |
Fire Extinguisher | 10 Brute | 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. | |
Fire Axe | 5 Onehand 18 Twohand |
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. | |
Hatchet | 12 Brute | 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. | |
Kitchen Knife | 10 Brute | Useful if you're the Chef, as Security are unlikely to give a single shit if they see you with it. There's still a better knife, but this one is easier to get to. | |
Null Rod | 15 Brute | Similar to the Circular Saw, but there's only of them, and the Chaplain tends to keep it on him. It also has Cultist deprogramming abilities and who knows what else it can do! NOTE - No one knows what else it does, the Chaplain threw away the instruction booklet and was drunk at the time anyway. | |
Pickaxe | 15 Brute | Again, very robust, but it's very big, yet your jumpsuit's belt can hold it. Miners will likely trade this for other things, such as a tool belt, or insulated gloves. Since it is seen mostly on miners, security will be quick to blame them when they find a bloody pickaxe next to what was the HoP. | |
Scalpel | 10 Brute | 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. | |
Stun Baton | 10 Brute | Very robust if you know how to use it properly. Only heads of staff and the security force can get these easily. | |
Screwdriver | 5 Brute | 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 | Only found in Surgery. Unfortunately, debate is ongoing whether it can be used to stick cyborg limbs onto people or not. You can probably think of a few other uses for it, though. | |
Tool box | 10 Brute | Rather common. Althought it deals a moderate amount of damage, it's a bulky item, so you'll have to hold it. |
Guns and Lasers
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.
Icon | Item | Ammo | Capacity | Damage & Effects | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Advanced Energy Gun | Energy | 10 (recharges over time) | 20 Burn/Stun target | Using advanced | |
Antique Laser gun | Energy | 10 (recharges over time) | 20 Burn | The prized weapon of the Captain, and the target of many enemy forces. Similar to the laser gun except it's recharged all by itself. They just don't make guns like they used to. | |
C20r SMG | 12mm | 20 Rounds | 20 Brute + Knockdown | Can only be found in Nuke rounds, or with Summon guns. It knocks the target down, similar to the detective's revolver, except chances are if you go down, you're not getting back up. | |
Combat Shotgun | 12 Gauge Shells | 8 Shells | 60 Brute with slugs 10 Brute + Knockdown with beanbag Nothing with blank Stuns target with stun 5 Toxin with dart |
The highest ammo capacity of any shotgun. Best of all, you can load shells in a sequence, for example - Beanbag, Slug, Beanbag, Slug etc., for more effective combat. Found in ballistic crates and from Summon guns. | |
Desert Eagle | .50 | 7 Rounds | 60 Brute | Comes in three tasteful variants. Normal, gold and camo gold. Used to be possessed by Nuclear Agents, but is now Summon guns exclusive. Hope for the gold gun. | |
Double Barrelled Shotgun | 12 Gauge shells | 2 Shells | 60 Brute with slugs 10 Brute + Knockdown with beanbag Nothing with blank Stuns target with stun 5 Toxin with dart |
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. A sawn-off shotgun will fit in your backpack. | |
Energy Crossbow | Energy | 6 Bolts (recharges by itself) | 10 Toxin + stun | The syndicate's energy crossbow, small, silent and deadly. Cannot be used in recharging units. It's worth noting that the stun is shorter than the standard taser gun. | |
Файл:Egun.png | Energy Gun | Energy | 10 Lasers/Electrodes | 20 Burn Stun |
Perhaps the second best energy-based gun. Best thing is to taze once then either handcuff (for arresting) or spam the other 9 shots at them on kill mode (for murder). Found in the armory, from energy weapon crates and from Summon guns. |
Gyrojet Pistol | .75 | 8 Rounds | 74 Brute from direct hit 24 from a tile away 3x3 gib range on dead people explosion (-1, 0, 2) |
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. Sadly it is Summon guns exclusive. | |
Ion Rifle | Energy | 10 Ion Pulses | 20 Brute to silicon mobs nothing to any others 3x3 EMP |
Large and unwieldly, not really that great. Its greatest use is dicking around with the electrics around the station. Cyborgs are weak to it: flashing cyborgs totally immobilises them and it leaves you free to robust them to your heart's content. Found on the Nuclear Agent's shuttle. | |
L6 SAW | .762 | 50 Rounds | 60 Brute | Holds the most ammo of any gun, 50 shots dealing 60 brute damage each, two good shots on someone and they're down. Shame it's found by Summon guns only. | |
Laser Cannon | Energy | 10 Lasers | 40 Burn | Must be researched first. This is the Laser Gun's bigger brother, fear him, he will fuck you over. | |
Laser Gun | Energy | 10 Lasers | 20 Burn | Found in the armory, weapons crates and from summon guns. No real reason to use it over the energy gun as it is lethal ONLY. | |
Mateba | .357 | 7 Rounds | 60 Brute | All in all the syndicate revolver, but for death squad officers. Also from Summon guns. | |
Revolver | .357 | 7 Rounds | 60 Brute | Available to all Syndicate agents, or from Summon guns. Security (or generally anyone) will be quick to scream 'TRAITOR!' if they see you with one. | |
Revolver | .38 | 6 Rounds | 10 Brute + Knockdown | Starts in the Detective's locker or from Summon guns. Knocks down targets, causing some minor damage. Can be modified to fire .357, but may break with the modification. | |
Rapid Syringe Gun | Syringes | 4 Syringes | Depends on contents of syringe | See the syringe gun, but take into account it holds four syringes. Can be made through researching them, and only costs metal to make. This gun gives you the power to fuck over four people at once! | |
Retro Laser | Energy | 10 Lasers | 20 Burn | Found on the white ship, this old beast is like the laser gun; anyone with a space suit and a little know-how can reach it. | |
Sub-Machine Gun | 9mm | 18 Shells | 25 Brute | An expensive gun to make, but one of the few actual guns used by Nanotrasen that aren't shotguns. Researched from R&D. | |
Shotgun | 12 Gauge shells | 4 Shells | 60 Brute with slugs 10 Brute + Knockdown with beanbag Nothing with blank Stuns target with stun 5 Toxin with dart |
A rare shotgun, also somewhat worse than the double barrelled, as it needs pumping every time and only holds 2 extra shells. | |
Syringe Gun | Syringes | 1 Syringe | Depends on contents of syringe | In fact, this is very robust. Think of it as a ranged hypospray. Two are found in Medbay. | |
Taser | Energy | 5 Electrodes | Stun target | Found in security and in weapon crates. If you're trying to kill someone, stun, then beat the living daylights out of them. Also found from summon guns. | |
Temperature Gun | Energy | 5 Freeze Beams | Heats/Cools target dependant upon the setting. | Another researched gun, if you can make this (more importantly, open that damn lockbox), chances are you can construct something better (read:laser cannon). | |
X-Ray Gun | Energy | 20 Lasers | 15 Burn + 30 Irradiate | 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. |
