Руководство по боевой системе
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.
The practical part this guide was last updated March, 2020. If you are reading it much later some things may be outdated.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.
Основы
Some good to know basics about the combat system.
Система здоровья
Основы того, как работает здоровье:
- Изначально у вас 200 здоровья.
- Получения урона свыше 40(вне зависимости от типа) начнет замедлять вас.
- После потери ~100 здоровья (скалируется от настроения) вы войдете в состояние софткрита. В таком состоянии вы не сможете взаимодействовать с предметами и сможете передвигаться лишь ползком, а говорить лишь Шепотом. Если это случилось то вероятно вы скоро умрете.
- Если вы потеряли 150 здоровья - вы войдете в состояние крита. В этом состоянии вы потеряете сознание и начнете умирать. Если вы прошепчите что-либо то автоматически примите смерть, а то что вы прошептали станет вашими последними словами.
Прицеливание
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.
Скорость передвижения
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.
Оглушения
A fight is typically won by either stunning your enemy, which lets you cuff them, or by hurting them to a crit state or worse. Learn what the different types of stuns do. An accessible stunning weapon can be made by crafting a stunprod 
(requires 2 hits). Also note, when the wiki or players talk about "stuns", they typically mean both the paralyze and the stun status effects. 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 stuns are conditional, such as the paralyze from the flash 
, which only works if the target has no sunglasses or similar protection. If your target is immune to stuns you will usually have to damage them instead.
Связывание
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.
your target by ctrl+clicking it (works even while cuffing). Turn off
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 themself, 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 clickdragging their sprite onto yours and then click the cuffs in the menu that pops up.
Ближний бой
On /tg/station, 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
status, mouse button used and which weapon you are wielding. Due to technical limitations, some clicks will not connect, so what you should do is spamclick 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.
Бой без оружия
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.
Толкание
First you should read about how shoving with
works. 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.
Захваты
You can
. 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+spamclicking 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.
Кидание на стол
When having an aggressive
on the enemy, you can quickly "table" him. Do this by enabling
and then clicking any table 
within your melee range. This will instantly transport him to the top of the table, and knock him down for 3 seconds, which deals 10 brute and 40 stamina damage. Quickly follow up with a
shove to paralyze him for 3 seconds. If you time it just right, you can permanently keep him stunned by waiting a moment and then spam
on him to aggressive again, and clicking the same table again, and then shoving him again. You can do this over and over until crit or stamcrit. If you are on the receiving end of this treatment you can yell for help and spam "resist", which will make you attempt to break out of the grab (with a 4 second cooldown). Resisting will not work the 3 seconds you are paralyzed, so your enemy must mess up the timing for you to escape.
If you know CQC or sleeping carp any table will be destroyed if you table someone on it. Tabling on a glass table 
will stun for a long duration, but will break the table.
Удар об стол
If you somehow manage to upgrade your
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.
Сопротивление захвату
If having an aggressive grab, you can reinforce your grab two more times by repeating
. 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. The target can attempt to resist once every 4 seconds, and can call for help while being strangled.
Кидание
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.
Удары
You enable
to be able to punch with
. Punching does a small and random amount of stamina and brute damage. What you're hoping for though, is the random chance for a punch to cause a short knockdown. Keep clicking your target with punches until this happens, then quickly
shove the target on the ground to paralyze him for 3 seconds. Then quickly pick up the dropped energy sword and kill him with it (you know the drill). If the target has no weapon to pick up, you can keep clicking the prone target with fists to kick him instead, which simply deals 1.5-15 brute damage.
Вооруженный ближний бой
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. The differences to unarmed fighting is that there is usually no randomness to damage dealt, and
usually doesn't matter. Some weapons have alternate attacks though. Stun batons 
and stunprods will only deal damage with
. With
they will only 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 stun, so there is risk involved unless you manage to fully stun your target before you start whacking.
Перирезание горла
You can slice someone's throat. While holding a sharp weapon,
until aggro (level 2) grab, and then click them while aiming for head. This takes a some time but will cause heavy bleeding.
Дальний бой
Ranged projectiles in this game use pixel perfect movement. Shoot by having a ranged weapon in your hand, and
or
clicking a target tile. The projectile will hit the first object in its path, but will pass over people who are paralyzed, sleeping or dead unless you click directly on their sprites. Shots should not pass over people simply laying down, but due to a commonly reoccurring issue they might do so anyway. You can shoot directly at things like windows even with lasers by clicking on them. Try to keep your mouse still the moment you click to reduce the risk of your input being ignored. If you drag your mouse even slightly before releasing then the click might be ignored.
Основные клавиши
Guns have some special controls depending on
or mouse button used:
- Lets you fire at a target point blank with most guns by clicking directly on them.
Turn off and then left-click. - Makes you perform a melee strike with your gun, unless you aim behind your target.
Turn on and then left-click. - Rightclick 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.
Нажатие правой кнопки мыши. Эффект не зависит от того, включён режим боя или нет.- 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.
- orTurn on and then left-click.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.
Turn on and then right-click.
Кидание
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.
Застревание
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 
.
Быстрое убийство
If you target mouth 
and
with
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 before firing, you will spare your target.
Грязные приемы
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. the ground with it to splash the water on the ground, making people slip.Нажатие правой кнопки мыши. Эффект не зависит от того, включён режим боя или нет.
- Drag a soap
behind you to slip people. - Drag an open crate
behind you. People accidentally clicking the crate will put their weapon in it. - If you know what you're doing (or are an antag), learn how to make and utilize bombs.
- You can knock people down a couple of seconds by aiming at their head on , and hitting them with a bottle of booze.
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.
Оружие
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.
Нападение
Ближний бой
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.
Make Shift Weapon
Almost any object on the station can be used as a makeshift melee weapon, however some are better than others.
| Icon | Название | Урон | Способ получения | Кем используется | Заметки |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
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 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. 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. |
|
|
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 | 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. |
|
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 | 24 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. |
Настоящее оружие
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. |
Дальний бой
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.

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 |
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, but a compact version is given to the Warden. |

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).
| Icon | Item | Type of Stun | How to Acquire | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Stun Baton | Stamina damage | Security | Not being security, and having this out, is likely to land you in the brig. |
|
|
Stunprod | Stamina damage | Made by yourself | Having this is a quick way to get robusted by security. Doesn't fit in backpacks, but can be carried on your back. |
|
|
Telescopic Baton | Stamina damage | Be a Head of Staff | Not being a head of staff and having one of these is yet another way to incur security's ire. |
|
|
Disabler | Stamina damage | Spawns on officers, Armory. Disabler Crate from Cargo. |
A non-lethal type of laser that deals Stamina Damage, which has the same slowing/debilitating effects of normal damage, without actually harming. Heals on its own over time. |
|
|
Flash | Stun Duration 8 stuns cyborgs |
Security, Bridge, Sec Checkpoint, Tech Storage | Cyborgs are vulnerable to this method of stunning. Eye protection, such as sunglasses or welding helmets prevents you from being stunned this way. Hardsuits and spacesuits will also block flashes, except for the CMO's. |
|
Chemicals | Depends on chemical | Chemistry | Typically used with a syringe gun, Hypospray, or Smoke Grenade. Some chemicals, like Chloral Hydrate, or Morphine, can hold targets still for some time, while others can be very harmful. |
|
Flashbang | Various effects. Duration varies with distance. |
Security | Very good for stunning a whole room. Not wearing ear protection will make you deaf for awhile. Wearing both sunglasses and a bowman headset makes you immune to these. |
|
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. |
| Resonant Shriek | Duration 5-10 | Being a changeling | Humans become deaf and confused. | |
|
Cult Stun | Stun Duration 15 + 15 duration silence |
Being a cultist and making one. | Works on cyborgs. Blocked by null rod. |

| 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. |
|
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 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. |
Helmets

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Helmet | Security Office | Standard head gear for security mooks. Keeps your head safe. | melee = 35 bullet = 30 laser = 30 energy = 10 bomb = 25 |
Brave officers may opt to wear the security beret or hat instead. The warden's hat offers the same protection as this. |
|
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 |
If you get this, be proud that you are wearing the best protective headgear in the game. |
|
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. |
