* Grind up a sheet of [[Plasma|solid plasma]] in the grinder. It's used as a catalyst in making some chemicals, such as Dexalin, Cryoxadone and Clonexadone. You really only need one bar. Remember that because plasma is a catalyst, it doesn't get used up in the reaction, so you can extract it from the mixture and re-use it.

As a chemist, you are pretty much the only person with access to grenade materials. You can fit two beakers worth of ANY COMBINATION of lab-juice you have created, a staggering 100 units, into any one grenade assembly. You can take out the containers by clicking on the grenade in your hand, but the containers are expended (obviously) when the grenade is used. It is possible to use medicine, water, or more devious items into a grenade. The mix and matching of different chemical formulas may not always go as planned, but what's science without experimentation?

#Screwdriver shut, multitool if you need to tweak the trigger later
#Screwdriver shut, you can also use the screwdriver to tweak the timer.
#It won't go off until you arm the grenade, and then the trigger you put in goes off.
#Activate the grenade in your hand to prime it if wired, or use the other method


For reactions that go off when mixed, you want them separated into two bottles.  For more on chemical reactions, see the [[Guide to chemistry]].  See also [[grenade]]s.

===Pills===
===Pills and Patches===
Pills are a great way to give large amount of medicine at once, if you are going to make medicine that will be single serve, make it pill form. Each pill can hold 50 units of material at one time, and up to seven can be stored in a pill bottle! They are even small enough to store in your pockets.

Each pill can hold 50 units of material at one time, and up to seven can be stored in a pill bottle! They are even small enough to store in your pockets. Patches are similar to pills, but work in a touch-based way rather than ingestion. Things like synthflesh and styptic powder only work in patches and will only damage the user if put into pills.

* A mixture of Leporazine and Dexalin Plus will allow a person to survive in space without a suit.
* A mixture of leporazine and salbutamol will allow a person to survive longer in space without a suit
* Don't only make Tricordrazine, or people will hate you. While it heals all damage types, isn't very useful on its own. It can be helpful when mixed with other drugs, however.

* The effects of chloral don't work if you drink coffee beforehand. You'll still take damage if the dose was high enough but you don't get knocked out. Anti-toxin completely negates chloral, however.
* The effects of chloral don't work if you drink coffee beforehand. You'll still take damage if the dose was high enough but you don't get knocked out. Anti-toxin completely negates chloral, however.
* The effects of different chemicals stack, meaning if you inject someone with a 50/50 kelo/derma they'll heal almost twice as fast, add a bit of tricord to other chemicals and it’s no longer as useless.
* The effects of different chemicals stack, meaning if you slap someone with a 50% silver sulf 50% synthflesh patch they'll heal almost twice as fast, add a bit of omnizine to other chemicals and it’s no longer as useless.
* Stimulants will wake you up from an overdose of chloral.
* Foam and smoke carry reagents. Foam will continuously apply the reagent's touch effect, while smoke will cause repeated ingestion. One can release a synthflesh foam grenade to heal someone from critical to full health almost instantly, or use a fluorosulfuric smoke grenade to make everyone's stuff melt off and deal absolutely <i>insane</i> amounts of damage.
* The Science Goggles in chemistry act as beakers.
* Grenades are great for everything. Experiment!
* If you are planning to make a medicine that has tricord and doc's delight, if you use the DD made by the bartender, proportions will fuck up. If you drop 10 tricord and 10 DD you get 13 tricord and 7 DD. Instead, if you use the DD you get from grinding Syndicakes, proportion will remain. You drop 10 and 10, you get 10 and 10.
* You can load a spray bottle with synthflesh to have a portable damage healer wherever you go.
* Also, 1 pill with 10 Derma, 10 Tricord, 10 Bicard, 10 Dex+ and 10 DD will keep you alive in a raging fire or in space for a good amount of time (10 seconds completely unharmed).
* If you go to the chef at round start and grab a heated donk pocket, and then to the chaplain for some holy water (bring a beaker), you now have the stuff to make Strange Reagent, which can literally bring people back from the dead. Laugh at the geneticists as they space themselves after becoming effectively useless. Also, this strange reagent can be diluted with other reagents. It only requires 0.4u of strange reagent to revive someone.
* Ryetalyn-loaded syringe guns, use them to instantly shut down hulks.
* Strange Reagent can only revive someone with less than 100 brute and 100 burn damage. This does not stack; 99 brute and 99 burn means they can still be revived.
* Don't waste your Dexalin Plus, just do 1u of Dex Plus and whatever amount of Inaprov. It's the same effect as just Dexalin Plus.
* Touch-based medicines still work on the dead. Combine a synthflesh grenade with strange reagent injections to bring back a group of people killed by that faggot [[traitor]] that's rampaging with an esword.
* If you're going to be in chemistry and have five minutes, I find it's often easiest to just create a couple of 10/10/10/10/5/5 tri/dex+/bic/derm/antitox/hyperzine pills. Sure it's a bit more effort, but they'll work in nearly all situations, and are great at popping people out of crit, and getting them moving again. For a more combat based one, you can always scale down on the antitox and put in synaptizine too. If you can get DD, you can put that in 10 of that instead of the hyperzine and 5 of the dex+. Only issue is that they are a bit of effort to make and that people will never actually use them unless you falsely label them as tricordrazine pills or whatever.
* You don't need a grenade for foam. You can have fluorosurfactant in a beaker and a bottle of equal water. Combine the two to produce grenadeless foam.
* You can grind up the Dexalinpills for an easy thirty units to fix up more cryoxadone without using plasma. Just snag a blue first aid kit out of an oxygen closet.
* Medbay lobby looking like a chainsaw massacre? Let loose some space cleaner foam and watch as medical bay is <i>magically cleaned</i> and the [[janitor]] infuriated.
* Most people know that you can insert a beaker of chemicals into medical robots, but this doesn't seem to be used much. Try getting creative with it - dangerous chemical combinations, such as chloral hydrate, impedrezine and lexorin can turn a medical robot toggled back on at the right time into a somewhat subtle, hard-to-stop-without-access death dealer, whereas those of you with a heart may want to put in an improved mixture of healing chemicals, such as bicard-tricord-derma-antitox-dexalin plus.
 
* Make ryet/bicard/dermaline mix, load Medibot with mix, set to 5 damage inject threshold, 5 units. Geneticist finally gets hulk. Steps out to go on a rampage. "Hey you! You're injured" He loses hulk. Good against hulk but bad when you need to spacewalk and their kindness is going to remove this ability from you.
===Tips for Antagonizing===
* 1u pills of vaccines work. More than one virus released? Mix two vaccinations together and make the 1u pills. cure 30 people with one batch.
* Some chemicals are absolutely amazing in damage. If you fill a spray bottle with chlorine trifluoride, you will literally spray fire.
** You can stretch that even further by just dilluting the vaccines. Inject 5 units into an empty beaker and top it off with water, you now have 10 injections with 0.5 units of vaccine each that still cure perfectly well. Unfortunately, dilluting it again to achieve 0.05 unit injections is not enough to cure anymore, or at least it wasn't when I last tried.
* Shove fifty units of fluorosulfuric acid into a patch labelled Synthflesh. Doctors will accidentally incinerate patients.
** Similarly, you can dillute the virion cultures you have, and end up with 0.5 unit injections of infected blood that still guarantee infection. Injecting this into a glass of water causes it to remain a glass of water, only dangerous, which you can then feed to people to easily infect them after they slip for a second or so. Strangely enough the added dillution for this case doesn't seem to affect the infection chance.
* If you're a traitor, you can pray to trade your telecrystals for a chem sprayer. If the admins are <s>absolutely fucking insane</s>nice, they'll give you a tool which can hold 300 units of <i>any</i> chemical. You can start cackling now.
** In contrary to this: you can't dillute virus food / mutagen / plasma / synaptizine to stretch their usage. It's hardcoded to require 5 units for a reaction, so you gotta bug the chemist a bit more.
* Make a foam grenade with fluorosulfuric acid, chlorine trifluoride, space lube, and phlogiston. You now have a server-lagging, hull-breach causing, people-obliterating grenade full of liquid holocaust. Drop it behind you during a security chase and laugh as your pursuers fall into it and have their gear melted away before dying instantly from the acid.
*A quick way to make clonex and dex plus in one swoop is:
* Perfluorodecalin is a reagent that heals oxygen damage extremely quickly but also mutes people. Put it in a syringe gun with sedatives and they can't scream while they go down.
# Grind a dexalin pill, giving 30 dexalin
* Some of the Bartender's drinks are very powerful. If you combine the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster with morphine, it will give you Neurotoxin, which will stunlock anyone hit with it. Not to be confused with the toxin-damage inducing neurotoxin of the same name.
# Add 10 carbon and iron, 20 water and oxygen
* If you emag a service borg, they can produce infinite amounts of "beer" that will instantly put someone to sleep when they ingest it.
# Make dex plus bottle and one cryoxadone bottle, keep 30 cryoxadone in the beaker
* If you can somehow get lethal syringes from Security, they hold fifty units and fit in syringe guns. You can have much more powerful deathmixes if you use one of these, but try not to miss as they cannot be replaced!
# Add 30 sodium
* Do not underestimate the power of foam. Even with no reagents, it can provide a barrier and prevent people from getting by without slipping.
# Put the beaker into the grinder, add plasma, and grind
* "Accidentally" leave some fluorosulfuric acid in the cryo tubes. Unattentive doctors will just flick it on and walk away as the patient dies screaming. Expect to be lynched, however.
# Results in: a bottle of dex plus and cryoxadone, 2 bottles of clonexadone.
* You can make drugs like methamphetamine to move very fast and have stun reduction in combat, but only take small amounts.
# Takes about a minute and I always found it a hassle to mix clonex (put plasma in, plasma out, plasma in, plasma out...)
* Aranesp, a narcotic, is one of the most insanely lethal things in the game. It does crazy oxygen damage and can kill people in seconds. Does not combine with perfluorodecalin, obviously, but it usually kills too fast anyway.
* Medbay sabotaged? Need to save those patients but no cryo tubes? Inject them with cryox/cloneox and stick them under a wrenched shower. It will actually cool them off enough for the meds to work.
* Traitors can buy a special kit for six telecrystals. This box contains ten bottles of horrible poisons that are also very effective in killing people.
* Also, 10u mixtures of cryox/cloneox/bicarid/derma/DD is robust as fuck in the tubes.
* You can put pretty much any deadly chemical into patches. Put some chlorine trifluoride and phlogiston into a patch and anyone who uses it will be lit on fire instantly with no way of putting themselves out without an extinguisher or space.
* Desperate for precious plasma? Miners absent, slimes dead, chemistry being stingy? Take apart an r-wall and grind it! Not like the gateway room is using those things, anyway. Two sheets of plasteel are worth forty liquid units.
* Spessmen process reagents (like drugs) 0.4 units per tick, with different chems being processed in parallel.
** The chemical reagent cap is 1000. Tricordizine 500 and synaptizine 500 in your system at start of round (TRICORD FIRST) and you’re a walking ling. Take them in pills, in 5 minutes you can get both of them if you use both chem dispensers. By default, chemicals will be consumed at 0.4 units EACH per tick. So the above example of synaptizine + tricord is 500 / 0.4 * 1.8, giving 2,250 seconds, or 37.5 minutes.
* ChemMasters, and the chef's condiment thing, work on Star-Kist and other drinks. Also glasses and bottles.
* Chemists have what may be the easiest access to space in the game: Make large amounts of Lepo-razine - Copper, Silicon and a 5u plasma catalyst. Then make a bunch of doctor's delight (it's easy to get ingredients from the bartender, they're usually more than happy to trade for some tricord). You can find the red spacesuit pretty quickly on the derelict or mining station too.
* You can navigate space without a suit or internals. Just pack a ton of dexalin+, leporazine, and DD in several pills.
* Pill bottles work like mining satchels and plant bags. So you can just click a pile of pills and they will all go in. ADDED: More pill bottle stuff: you can insert it directly into the chem dispenser to use it from there.
* You can inject cigarettes/cigars with 15u of chemicals to provide a steady dose while it's lit. A cigar will hold more, 30u IIRC. A cigar full of Synaptizine and Bicard or tricord makes for a pretty robust dude.
* You can inject 15 units of welder fuel into a cigarette (or dip the cig in it) and it will explode once you light it, playing the explosion sound and everything (it doesn't hurt you or anything). Hilarious when you start blowing up a whole packet and people can't understand what the hell is going. Lighting a cigarette with only 5 or 10 units in it will only produce sparks.
* Inject your cigarette with space drugs. Smoke the reefer.
* Chemist labcoats can hold large beakers.
* A bluespace beaker water-potassium grenade will hit bombcap, detonates instantly instead of waiting for atmospherics processing, can't be disarmed, and is incredibly easy to hide.
* Note that as a result of human reagent cap being 1000, drinking tons and tons of water, say from a botany water backpack, will make you immune to parapets and syringe guns. You have to constantly keep drinking to be "immune" from them, though. And gotta chug at least 15 units of water every single minute to stay hydrated.
# Be Chemist
# Make a SHIT ton of dexalin. Eat a SHIT ton of your pills. Make more pills.
# Now suicide.
# Your a walking zombie. If the dexalin runs out, you start to die FAST.
# My favorite thing to do, is to become a dexalin zombie and then lie down somewhere in the hallway and when people try to loot you, jump and yell "BOO".


===Tips for Traitoring===
*A mixture that's four times as lethal as Cyanide:
:Five units of the following in one pill (damage of each roughly):
:* Plasma (~40 toxin damage)
:* Sulphuric acid (~13 toxin damage, ~5 brute damage)
:* Polytrinic acid (~26 toxin damage, ~10 brute damage)
:* Chlorine (~15 brute damage)
:* Thermite (~15 burn damage)
:* Lexorin (~40 oxygen damage, 5~ brute damage)
:* Plant-B-Gone (~15 toxin damage)
:* Welding fuel (~15 toxin damage)
:* Toxin (~19 toxin damage)
:* Arithrazine (~3 brute damage)
* Beepsky Smash inside of a Hypospray or syringe gun is very powerful. Beepsky Smash paralyzes when you hit someone. You can get bar access pretty easily as chemist/CMO by telling the HoP you want doctors delight ingredients. Beepsky Smash knocks the victim down again if someone tries to shake them back up. 5 units in an eyedropper lasts about as long as the ole parasting did, and it's even better in a syringe gun where one shot means they can't move. A 50 unit pill of Beepsky Smash is something to be terrified of.
* A polyacid/sulphuric acid mix shot from a spray bottle does not do any more damage than just straight polyacid. Likewise, a 5 unit spritz hurts just as much as a 10 unit spritz.
* If you inject chemicals into someone and gib them, their meat will inherit a portion of that chemical. Parapen someone, grind them into meat, grind that meat with your grinder, make a condiment bottle of zombie powder, squirt that into people's eyes with an eyedropper..... Always remember to recycle, folks.
* 15u of Plasma is a lethal dose. Meaning a single syringe gunshot and the target will die without anti-tox treatment. You'll be dead within 30 seconds with 15u of plasma.
* If you buddy up with a botanist and make them tons of mutagen, they can get you koibeans, which contain carpotoxin. this lets you make zombie powder, which is literally parapen juice.
* Mix a grenade using one bottle with 20 Polytrinic Acid and 10 Potassium and the other bottle with 10 Phosphorous and 10 Sugar to make a polyacid smoke grenade which makes acid melt anyone nearby. Staying in the smoke the entire time knocks anyone inside to critical.
*Poly Acid will melt shit down. Remove all evidence.
* You're able to fill eggs with chemicals and throw it at people and apply the chemicals effect to them. It is much more effective then a syringe since you can fill an egg with 48u, you don't carry a weapon that could warn your enemy and it looks so harmless and innocent.
* Plasma smoke reactions are stupidly robust.
** Even 5 units are enough to flood a much larger area than what you get when you release a plasma canister in the hallways. Better yet, the plasma is so damn cold that it will keep expanding by cooling down the air nearby. Even internals won't protect you as it's so cold that you'll die from it.
** It's so good, releasing a single grenade in the huge metastation escape shuttle is enough to kill everyone inside without a firesuit. Actually, sometimes you even die with a firesuit if you put enough plasma in the grenade. And that is without even igniting it, purely from the freezing cold gas.
* Sprayed poly acid melts bullets.

MEDICAL STAFF

Chemist
Access: Medbay, Chemistry Lab, Mineral Storage
Additional Access: Morgue, Operating Theatre, Virology, Genetics
Difficulty: Easy
Supervisors: Chief Medical Officer
Duties: Supply science with chemicals, make medicine and less likable substances in the comfort of a fully reinforced room
Guides: Guide to chemistry

You start in Medbay. You mess with all sorts of chemicals. That's it. Some of the time you can do what ever you feel like for most of the round or make stuff to deal with the security officers or syndicate fucking with shit in your lab. Be sure to keep the scientists stocked with acid, and keep your nose out of those space drugs!

Medbay
The chemical research lab is located in Medbay. It provides enough work space for two people


Getting Things Done

Chemists are naturally suspicious individuals. They've got all the tools in the world to break in wherever they desire and/or kill people in all sorts of horrifying and inhumane ways. An easy way to allay this suspicion - whether you plan on doing something suspicious or not - is to make yourself useful to the station at the game's beginning. Any accidents are likely to be blamed on your coworker, then, if you have one.

Tools of the trade

  • The Chem Dispenser turns electrical energy into a variety of basic chemicals, through magic science. It's one of the few things on the station that's truly irreplaceable, so guard it with your life.
  • The ChemMaster 3000 can magically separate chemicals, and has the ability to produce an limitless supply of 50 unit pills/patches and 30 unit bottles.
  • The Reagent Grinder is identical to the grinder the Chef has. It can be used to extract chemical reagents from things the Shaft Miners, Chef, and Botanists produce.
  • The Chem Heater is important for making many recipes that require high temperatures to mix.
  • Inside the locker to the north you will find boxes of pill bottles. On the table to the south is a hand labeller. These combined will allow you to store and distribute pills more effectively.

Being helpful

Roundstart

If someone comes and requests something from you, make sure you fulfill them first. No one likes a chemist doing his own thing as they have to stand there waiting. If you are in the middle of something, inform them that you will be right with them.

  • For Robotics and R&D:
    • Fill the large beaker with 100 units of sulfuric acid, put them in bottles and repeat again.
  • For the whole crew and especially doctors:
    • Make styptic powder, silver sulfadiazine, synthflesh, and charcoal patches. Drugs like salbutmol and epinephrine are also useful but not needed.
    • Put these on the front desk, or in the chemical storage at the bottom of your lab.
  • Pills/patches for the injured:
      • Styptic Powder (Aluminum, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulfuric Acid - heals brute)
      • Silver Sulfadiazine (Ammonia, Silver, Sulfur, Oxygen, Chlorine - heals burn)
      • Synthflesh (Styptic Powder, Carbon, Blood - heals both brute and burn)
      • Charcoal (Ash and Table Salt - heals toxins)
      • Salbutamol (Salicylic Acid, Lithium, Bromine, Ammonia, Aluminum - heals oxy)
  • For atmos techs and station engineers as they can use these to plug hull breaches quickly, don't hand these to everyone:
    • Make about 30 units of foaming agent (not fluorosulfactant!) and fluorosulfuric acid, place 10 units of each into 3 separate beakers
    • Make 90 units of Iron, place 30 units of each into 3 other seperate beakers
    • Add one beaker of Acid + Foaming Agent and one beaker of Iron to a grenade, this is a metal foam grenade, if you use the correct amounts you should have made 3 of them

If You Want to be Especially Awesome

  • The Botanists will benefit from unstable mutagen to mutate plants. They can also use diethylamine as a fertilizer, fluorosulfuric acid to efficiently kill plants, a dropper for precise mutations and space cleaner to clean up dissolved plant goo.
  • The Virologist will want unstable mutagen and synaptizine to make new and exciting diseases.
  • Geneticists can benefit from a supply of potassium iodide or charcoal pills to treat high radiation levels in themselves and their subjects, plus extra anti-toxin to heal radiation damage.
  • The Janitor might want you to refill his space cleaner bottle, especially if the virologist has infected the entire station and there's vomit everywhere.
  • You can help the Chef as well: sulfuric acid is used to make soy sauce.
  • The Bartender might request various chemicals to make cocktails with, though bear in mind that a bartender who wants anything particularly toxic is probably up to no good.
  • The Warden might request various chemicals to use in implants for prisoners, to ensure they don't re-offend.
  • Grind up snacks to make nutriment pills and taunt the Chef about his inefficient creations.
  • In the event of a rogue Hulk from genetics rampaging about, a syringe gun loaded with a syringe containing 1 unit mutadone and 14 units chloral hydrate will make them very sad.
  • In the case of a rogue AI or an alien hive, various people will want thermite in order to break through reinforced or resin walls.
  • Enable the reagent scanner on your PDA and test the food and drinks at the bar and kitchen for tampering. This can also be used on people to find out what they've been poisoned with.
  • You aren't far from either the waiting room or the sleepers and cryogenics, so if there are no Medical Doctors around, feel free to grab a health analyzer and start treating patients.
  • If you have nothing else to do, whip up various medical pills and patches and leave them on the Medbay counter.
  • The Clown will often request space lube. Be helpful by laughing in his face. Itching powder can also be used as a prankworthy substitute without making a lynch mob savagely beat and space you.

Arming thyself

  • Grab the syringe gun on the table west of the Medbay doors before the Medical Doctors get it. They really can't do jack with it, while it's a valuable weapon in your hands when filled with chloral hydrate or worse. If you fail, you can try and hang out by Medical Storage to slip in and grab the second one.
  • Later in the round, if you've been nice to R&D, and R&D are competent, they might give you a rapid syringe gun which can hold six syringes if you ask them for it.
  • A space cleaner spray bottle can be used as a ghetto flamethrower with chlorine trifluoride.
  • You have all the tools you need to make grenades. See below.

CHEM 101

See the Guide to chemistry for a list of some of the possible mixtures.

Grenades

As a chemist, you are pretty much the only person with access to grenade materials. You can fit two beakers worth of ANY COMBINATION of lab-juice you have created, a staggering 100 units, into any one grenade assembly. You can take out the containers by clicking on the grenade in your hand, but the containers are expended (obviously) when the grenade is used. It is possible to use medicine, water, or more devious items into a grenade. The mix and matching of different chemical formulas may not always go as planned, but what's science without experimentation?

Keep in mind, making grenades that harm others will get you robusted in the least, and possibly jobbanned if you are not an antagonist.

Building Grenades 101

  1. Grab a cable coil from the desk, or make an assembly from stock parts
  2. Wire the grenade casing by hitting it with the triggering mechanism
  3. Stuff the unsecured grenade full of chemistry containers (bottles/beakers). It holds up to two of them.
  4. Screwdriver shut, you can also use the screwdriver to tweak the timer.
  5. Activate the grenade in your hand to prime it if wired, or use the other method

For reactions that go off when mixed, you want them separated into two bottles. For more on chemical reactions, see the Guide to chemistry. See also grenades.

Pills and Patches

Pills are a great way to give large amount of medicine at once, if you are going to make medicine that will be single serve, make it pill form. Each pill can hold 50 units of material at one time, and up to seven can be stored in a pill bottle! They are even small enough to store in your pockets. Patches are similar to pills, but work in a touch-based way rather than ingestion. Things like synthflesh and styptic powder only work in patches and will only damage the user if put into pills.

Chemicals to put into pills

  • Epinephrine for stabilizing the critically injured
  • Charcoal to treat toxin damage
  • Syptic Powder to treat brute damage
  • Silver Sulfadiazine to treat burn damage
  • Mannitol treats brain damage
  • Oculine treats physical eye damage
  • Synaptizine lowers the duration of stuns, but causes toxin damage.
  • A mixture of leporazine and salbutamol will allow a person to survive longer in space without a suit
  • Don't only make synthflesh, or people will hate you. While it heals all damage types, isn't very useful on its own. It can be helpful when mixed with other drugs, however.
  • 1 unit pills of mutadone remove all genetic defects and superpowers like a clean SE injector, useful for the recently cloned, or if high levels of radiation occur near the station
  • If the cure for a disease spreading around the station is something you can produce, then make pills of it! If the virologist comes through with vaccine, 0.4u pills of it are enough to cure and immunize people.

Bottles

Bottles should contain material that is not medicine, such as acids, or medicines that should not be used all at once, like cryoxadone. Each bottle can hold only 30 units, and can be splashed onto things. They can be produced infinitely from your ChemMaster, so feel free to go nuts.

  • Thermite
  • Acids
  • Cryoxadone
  • Space cleaner
  • Touch-based medicines

Tips

  • The effects of chloral don't work if you drink coffee beforehand. You'll still take damage if the dose was high enough but you don't get knocked out. Anti-toxin completely negates chloral, however.
  • The effects of different chemicals stack, meaning if you slap someone with a 50% silver sulf 50% synthflesh patch they'll heal almost twice as fast, add a bit of omnizine to other chemicals and it’s no longer as useless.
  • Foam and smoke carry reagents. Foam will continuously apply the reagent's touch effect, while smoke will cause repeated ingestion. One can release a synthflesh foam grenade to heal someone from critical to full health almost instantly, or use a fluorosulfuric smoke grenade to make everyone's stuff melt off and deal absolutely insane amounts of damage.
  • Grenades are great for everything. Experiment!
  • You can load a spray bottle with synthflesh to have a portable damage healer wherever you go.
  • If you go to the chef at round start and grab a heated donk pocket, and then to the chaplain for some holy water (bring a beaker), you now have the stuff to make Strange Reagent, which can literally bring people back from the dead. Laugh at the geneticists as they space themselves after becoming effectively useless. Also, this strange reagent can be diluted with other reagents. It only requires 0.4u of strange reagent to revive someone.
  • Strange Reagent can only revive someone with less than 100 brute and 100 burn damage. This does not stack; 99 brute and 99 burn means they can still be revived.
  • Touch-based medicines still work on the dead. Combine a synthflesh grenade with strange reagent injections to bring back a group of people killed by that faggot traitor that's rampaging with an esword.
  • You don't need a grenade for foam. You can have fluorosurfactant in a beaker and a bottle of equal water. Combine the two to produce grenadeless foam.
  • Medbay lobby looking like a chainsaw massacre? Let loose some space cleaner foam and watch as medical bay is magically cleaned and the janitor infuriated.

Tips for Antagonizing

  • Some chemicals are absolutely amazing in damage. If you fill a spray bottle with chlorine trifluoride, you will literally spray fire.
  • Shove fifty units of fluorosulfuric acid into a patch labelled Synthflesh. Doctors will accidentally incinerate patients.
  • If you're a traitor, you can pray to trade your telecrystals for a chem sprayer. If the admins are absolutely fucking insanenice, they'll give you a tool which can hold 300 units of any chemical. You can start cackling now.
  • Make a foam grenade with fluorosulfuric acid, chlorine trifluoride, space lube, and phlogiston. You now have a server-lagging, hull-breach causing, people-obliterating grenade full of liquid holocaust. Drop it behind you during a security chase and laugh as your pursuers fall into it and have their gear melted away before dying instantly from the acid.
  • Perfluorodecalin is a reagent that heals oxygen damage extremely quickly but also mutes people. Put it in a syringe gun with sedatives and they can't scream while they go down.
  • Some of the Bartender's drinks are very powerful. If you combine the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster with morphine, it will give you Neurotoxin, which will stunlock anyone hit with it. Not to be confused with the toxin-damage inducing neurotoxin of the same name.
  • If you emag a service borg, they can produce infinite amounts of "beer" that will instantly put someone to sleep when they ingest it.
  • If you can somehow get lethal syringes from Security, they hold fifty units and fit in syringe guns. You can have much more powerful deathmixes if you use one of these, but try not to miss as they cannot be replaced!
  • Do not underestimate the power of foam. Even with no reagents, it can provide a barrier and prevent people from getting by without slipping.
  • "Accidentally" leave some fluorosulfuric acid in the cryo tubes. Unattentive doctors will just flick it on and walk away as the patient dies screaming. Expect to be lynched, however.
  • You can make drugs like methamphetamine to move very fast and have stun reduction in combat, but only take small amounts.
  • Aranesp, a narcotic, is one of the most insanely lethal things in the game. It does crazy oxygen damage and can kill people in seconds. Does not combine with perfluorodecalin, obviously, but it usually kills too fast anyway.
  • Traitors can buy a special kit for six telecrystals. This box contains ten bottles of horrible poisons that are also very effective in killing people.
  • You can put pretty much any deadly chemical into patches. Put some chlorine trifluoride and phlogiston into a patch and anyone who uses it will be lit on fire instantly with no way of putting themselves out without an extinguisher or space.


Chemical-X

Chemistry is one of the most dangerous jobs on the med-sci staff, and it's easy to be a good Traitor as such. A LOT of the chemicals you have access to will kill when injected. Access to grenades is a plus. If you can find a room with a light switch, you can inject the light bulbs with liquid plasma while they're off, then enjoy the show as someone flips the lights on.

If you're the paranoid type you could potentially acid your own face to screw up your identity, which now lists you as Unknown. The only problems are that Unknowns are naturally suspicious types and people are often quite suspicious of the chemist running around anywhere other than the chemlab. It will probably end up in a shitcurity interrogation.
