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=
There are times when running away from a fight is not an option. The combat system is [[Terminology#Robust.2FRobusting|robust]] but functional, and can feel weird at times. Sometimes your clicks are ignored. Sometimes you suddenly realise your [[#Melee_Weapons|melee weapon]] is [[#Cheap_Tricks|no longer in your hand]]. Sometimes your ranged shots [[Syndicate_items#Martial_Arts_Scroll|bounce off]] your target. Sometimes you even [[Guide_to_chemistry#Amanitin|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 [[Terminology#Antag|antag]]), even against veteran players. <br><br>
<s>The [[#Basics to Combat|practical part]] this guide was written april 2019. If you are reading it much later, some things may be outdated.</s> this has been ''slightly'' updated to July 2021 standards yet its still very outdated
=Basics to Combat=
Some good to know basics about the combat system.
==[[Health]] System==
Get familiar with how [[Health|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|mood]] 120 if very happy) you enter [[Health#Critical_Status|softcrit]]. All you can do in this state is slowly crawl, and [[Radio_channels#Other_Communication_Codes|whisper]]. If this happens you have probably lost.
* After losing 150 hp you enter a [[Health#Critical_Status|hardcrit]] state. In this state you will be [[Status_Effects#Unconscious|unconscious]] and slowly die. If you [[Radio_channels#Other_Communication_Codes|whisper]] you will say your last words and succumb to death.
==Damage Zone==
[[File:Hud-target.gif]] You can target specific damage zones by using the Numpad Keys. Each limb has its own pool of hitpoints. Hurting the head, legs or arms with 100 damage (350 for head) [[Health#Brute|brute damage]] can cut them off when using a sharp weapon and will transfer half the damage to the body. There are a few [[#Cheap_Tricks|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.
==Movement Speed==
To keep an upper hand in a fight, speed is very helpful. Stop or slow your enemy down with [[Health#Damage_Types|damage]], [[Makeshift_weapons#Bola|bola]], [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|slipping them]], [[#Cheap_Tricks|other tricks]] or many other methods and they will be easier to hit with both [[#Melee_Weapons|melee]] and [[#Ranged_Weapons|ranged weapons]]. There are also ways to speed yourself up, such as [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Nuka_Cola|Nuka Cola]] from [[Vendor#Food_and_Drink_Machines|drink vendors]].
==Stuns==
A fight is typically won by either stunning your enemy, which lets you [[#Cuffing|cuff]] them, or by hurting them to a [[Health#Critical_Status|crit]] state or [[Health#Death|worse]]. Learn what the different types of [[Status_Effects#Disables|stuns]] do. Also note, when the wiki or players talk about "stuns", they typically mean both the [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] and the [[Status_Effects#Stun|stun]] [[Status_Effects|status effects]]. Stun times varies depending on item used, but are usually around 1-5 seconds. You can reduce stun times on yourself in several ways, such as with certain [[Guide_to_chemistry#Narcotics|chemicals]], including from smoking [[Guide_to_chemistry#Nicotine|nicotine]]. Some stuns are conditional, such as the [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] from the [[Security_items#Flash|flash]] [[File:Flash.gif]], which only works if the target has no [[Clothing_and_Accessories#Sunglasses|sunglasses]] or similar protection. If your target is [[Guide_to_genetics#Mutations_and_Their_Consequences|immune to stuns]], you will usually have to damage them instead.
==Cuffing==
If you are unsure if your target is [[Terminology#Valid.2FValidhunting|valid]] or not, you should opt for a non-lethal takedown. Do this by somehow [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|stunning]] or [[Unconscious|knocking out]] your target and then [[Makeshift_weapons#Cablecuffs|cuffing]] it. If you do not have access to [[Security_items#Handcuffs|handcuffs]] [[File:Handcuffs.png]], you can easily craft [[Makeshift_weapons#Cablecuffs|cablecuffs]] [[File:Cablecuffs.png]] by activating [[Engineering_items#Cable_Coil|cable coils]] [[File:CableCoils.png]] in your hand. Cuff a person by holding cuffs in your active hand, and then clicking your target. Grab your target by ctrl+clicking it (works even while cuffing). Switch to [[Starter_guide#Help_Intent|help intent]] [[File:Intent_Help.png]] 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 [[Keyboard_Shortcuts#Hotkey-mode_Enabled|resisting]]. Remove cuffs from someone else by clickdragging their sprite onto yours and then click the cuffs in the menu that pops up, you can also instantly remove cablecuffs from someone by using wirecutters on them.
=Melee Combat=
On Beestation, you interact with a person in melee by being next to them and clicking '''on their sprite''' (and not on the tile they are standing on/moving towards). When your interaction connects, something will happen depending on what your [[Starter_guide#Intents|intent]] is and which [[#Melee Weapons|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 [[Starter_guide#Harm_Intent|attack]] (or [[Starter_guide#Help_Intent|hug]]) someone in melee there is a cooldown before you can do it again. The cooldown is usually less than a second (about 0.8 seconds).
==Blocking==
The requirements to block is to hold an item which is able to block and be on any intent except help intent. All shields can obviously block, all shields(except adamantine shield, it uses non-shield blocking mechanics) have an integrity which gets lowered every time they block an attack and once their integrity reaches 0 they will break, some non-shield items can also block(mop, skateboard, chair, katana, energy sword etc.), when you block with a non-shield item the arm holding the item that blocked will take stamina damage until it gets stamina critted and it forces you to drop the item which was blocking, if the item you are blocking with is stuck to your arm(glue, changeling blade) once it gets stamina critted it will stop blocking until the stamina damage gets healed.
There are three important variables when it comes to blocking those being:
*Block Level - Determines the range at which the blocking item can actually block projectiles or melee hits from, there are four blocking levels, the images below this show blocking levels and the areas they block from, blocking is directional so the tiles you block will move according to the direction you are facing.
[[File:Block level1.png|frameless]] [[File:Block level2.png|frameless]] [[File:Block level3.png|frameless]] [[File:Block level4.png|frameless]]
*Block Power - This is esentially block armor and it reduces the amount of damage your arm or shield takes after blocking.
*Block Upgrade Walk - This adds more blocking levels to the blocking item when your speed is set to walk, on almost all items it's raised by 1.
Mirror shield and energy shield can block projectiles. Non-shields cannot block projectiles with the exception of a few items such as the Double-Bladed Energy Sword or the Katana.
Trying to touch someone holding a sharp blocking item by hugging, grabbing, disarming or punching with your empty hand while being in their blocking range will result in them automatically hitting you back with their blocking item.
All non-shield items must be held in your active hand(the one that is highlighted) to block, switching your active hand off the blocking item will result in you not being able to block, shields however can block regardless of what hand is active.
==Unarmed Combat==
This guy [[File:Traitor.png|64px]] just broke into your department and whipped out an [[Syndicate_items#Energy_Sword|energy sword]] and [[Syndicate_items#Mini_Energy_Crossbow|energy crossbow]]. You are unarmed. You are at a huge disadvantage. What can you do? Let's say he somehow missed a shot with the bow, due to you dodging behind a machine or wall, and is now coming towards you with the [[Syndicate_items#Energy_Sword|e-sword]]. You have have a few options.
===Shoving===
You enable [[Starter_guide#Disarm_Intent|disarm intent]] [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]] and read [[Starter_guide#Disarm_Intent|here]] about how shoving works. You can try to lure your enemy into a spot where you can shove him against an object, making him drop both weapons. Then shove him one more time on the ground to [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] him for 4 seconds. Then you must quickly left click his own dropped [[Syndicate_items#Energy_Sword|energy sword]] to pick it up. Kill him with it.
===Grabbing===
You enable [[Starter_guide#Grab_Intent|grab intent]] [[File:Intent_Grab.png]]. For this to work your enemy must either be temporarily stunned or standing still and not paying attention. First you click your target once to passive grab. Keep spamclicking him, and if he doesn't move or "[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|resist]]" to break out of your grab, you will grab him aggressively. This will make you [[Stun|stun]] the target for a very short moment, making him drop any held items. Either pick up the dropped [[Syndicate_items#Energy_Sword|energy sword]] and kill him with it, or continue to [[#Tabling|tabling]].
====Tabling====
When having an aggressive grab on the enemy, you can quickly "table" him. Do this by clicking any [[Guide_to_construction#Tables.2FReinforced_Table|table]] [[File:table.png]] within your melee range, while still on [[Starter_guide#Grab_Intent|grab intent]]. This will instantly transport him to the top of the table, and [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] him for a second. If you are very fast you can attempt to permanently keep him stunned by spamclicking him with [[Starter_guide#Grab_Intent|grab]] to aggressive again, and clicking the same table again. Over and over. If you are on the receiving end of this treatment, all you can do is yell for help and spam "[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|resist]]", which will make you attempt to break out of the grab (with a 2 second cooldown or so). Resisting will not work the 4 seconds you are [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyzed]], so your enemy must mess up the timing for you to escape. Tabling on a [[Guide_to_construction#Tables.2FReinforced_Table|glass table]] [[File:Glass_table.png]] will stun for a longer duration, but will break the table.
====Strangling====
If having an aggressive grab, you can reinforce your grab two more times by clicking the target on [[Starter_guide#Grab_Intent|grab intent]] [[File:Intent_Grab.png]]. The level 3 grab makes you grab his neck (deals no damage). Level 4 makes you start strangling him, causing [[Health#Oxygen|suffocation damage]]. This is a VERY slow process, and the target can attempt to break free by spamming "[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|resist]]" or trying to move away. The target has 5% chance to break out per try (down from ~30% on aggressive grab) and takes 8-15 [[Health#Stamina|stamina]] damage every failed attempt. Strangling is rarely used unless the target is already [[#Cuffing|cuffed]]. The target can call for help while being strangled.
====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|tabling]], you must throw the person away from you. Otherwise the thrown spaceman will hit yourself and [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] you both. Throwing him on top of a [[Guide_to_construction#Tables.2FReinforced_Table|glass table]] [[File:Glass_table.png]] will [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] him long enough to [[#Cuffing|cuff]] him. Throwing a person or a monkey corpse at someone is a reliable method to [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] someone for a moment. Throwing him at a [[Guide_to_construction#Walls|wall]] [[File:Wall.png]] or [[Guide_to_construction#Reinforced_Wall|reinforced wall]] [[File:R_wall.png]] will [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] him for a moment as well. Throwing him at an [[Guide_to_construction#Airlock|airlock]] [[File:Airlock.gif]] will make it open, if he is wearing a valid ID.
===Punching and kicking===
You enable [[Starter_guide#Harm_Intent|harm intent]] [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]. Punching does a small and random amount of [[Health#Stamina|stamina]] and [[Health#Brute|brute]] damage. What you're hoping for though, is the random chance for a punch to cause a short [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knockdown]]. Keep clicking your target with punches until this happens, then quickly enable [[Starter_guide#Disarm_Intent|disarm intent]] [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]] and [[#Shoving|shove]] the target on the ground to [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] him for 4 seconds. Then quickly pick up the dropped [[Syndicate_items#Energy_Sword|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 7[[Health#Brute|brute]] damage.
===Curbstomping===
To perform a curbstomp you need to meet several criteria for both yourself and the target. The criteria are as follows, the first being that you need to target the head, The second being that you must be on [[Starter_guide#Harm_Intent|harm intent]] [[File:Intent_Harm.png]], The third is that your target must be lying down and the fourth is that you must be on the same tile as them. once all of the criteria are met then click and drag your sprite onto theirs, this will then cause you to wait for several seconds before finally performing the curbstomp. This is an effective finisher for enemies already in a [[Health#Critical_Status|crit state]] as it does 36 [[Health#Brute|brute]] damage to the head.
===Groinkicking===
The groinkick is very similar to the curbstomp but has a conditional damage set which causes characters which are male to take 25 damage as opposed to 15 for their female counterparts. This is performed by following the same process described above with the curbstomp. The steps are the same but however requires you to target the groin [[File:Hud_target_crotch.gif]] as opposed to the head. so the steps will be as follows, Harm intent [[File:Intent_Harm.png]], Target groin [[File:Hud_target_crotch.gif]], target must be lying down and you must be on the same tile as your target. Once these are met, click and drag your sprite to theirs wait for a few seconds and you will kick them in the groin.
==Using Melee Weapons==
Fighting with [[#Melee Weapons|melee weapons]] works similarly to fighting [[#Unarmed_Combat|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_Combat|unarmed]] fighting is that [[Starter_guide#Intents|intent]] usually doesn't matter. There are exceptions though. [[Security_items#Stun_Baton|Stun batons]] [[File:StunBaton.gif]] and [[Makeshift_weapons#Stunprod|stunprods]] [[File:Stunprod.png]] will only deal brute damage when on [[Starter_guide#Harm_Intent|harm intent]] [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]. Otherwise they will deal stamina damage. 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 [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|stun]], so there is risk involved unless you [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|stun]] your target before you start whacking.
=Ranged Combat=
Ranged projectiles in this game use pixel perfect movement. Shoot by having a ranged weapon in your hand, and clicking a target tile. The projectile will hit the first object in its path, but will pass over people who are [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyzed]], [[Status_Effects#Sleep|sleeping]] or [[Health#Death|dead]] unless you click directly on their sprites. Sometimes when you're running your weapon will randomly not fire when clicking. This can be due to how the game engine works, so just keep spamclicking until you fire.
==Ranged Intents==
There are some differences to firing guns between different [[Starter_guide#Intents|intents]]:
* On [[Starter_guide#Help_Intent|help]] [[File:Intent_Help.png]], [[Starter_guide#Disarm_Intent|disarm]] [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]] and [[Starter_guide#Grab_Intent|grab]] [[File:Intent_Grab.png]] intents you can fire at a target point blank by clicking directly on them. On [[Starter_guide#Harm_Intent|harm intent]] [[File:Intent_Harm.png]] you will instead do a melee strike with your gun, unless you aim behind your target.
* On [[Starter_guide#Harm_Intent|harm intent]] [[File:Intent_Harm.png]] you can fire two guns at the same time. However, you will also have a random spread to your accuracy.
==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 [[Makeshift_weapons#Spear|spears]] [[File:Spear.png]], 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 [[Guide_to_construction#Chairs|chairs]] [[File:Chair.png]] or [[Guide_to_construction#Chairs|stools]] [[File:Stool.png]] for throwing, by dragging their sprites onto yours. Throwing, like [[#Ranged_Combat|ranged combat]], uses pixel perfect movement, which means you can throw in any direction. You can also craft a [[Makeshift_weapons#Bola|bolas]] to throw at enemies, which will slow them down until they [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|resist]] out of it. Thrown objects do not count as ranged shots and can not be reflected by [[Syndicate_items#Martial_Arts_Scroll|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 [[Makeshift_weapons#Spear|spears]] [[File:Spear.png]], 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 [[Starter_guide#Controls|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#Removal_of_Embedded_Objects|surgery]]. Many items, such as [[#Glass Shard|glass shards]] [[File:Shard.png]] and [[Guide_to_construction#Rods|metal rods]] [[File:Rods.png]] can only embed from higher than normal throw speed, such as from explosions. Some more items that can embed from normal [[#Throwing|throws]] are: [[Syndicate_Items#Energy_Sword|Energy sword]] [[File:ESword.png]], [[#Combat_Knife|combat knife]] [[File:Buckknife.png]] and [[Syndicate_Items#Box_of_Throwing_Weapons|throwing star]] [[File:Tstar.png]].
==Execution With Guns==
If you target mouth [[File:Hud_target_mouth.gif]], and use any intent except [[Starter_guide#Harm_Intent|harm]] [[File:Intent_Harm.png]], you will aim for 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.
=Cheap Tricks=
There many tricks to winning a fight. These are only a select few of them:
* Aim for eyes [[File:Hud_target_eyes.gif]] and stab multiple times with a screwdriver make the target blind. Only works if target has no [[Clothing_and_Accessories#Eyewear|eyewear]].
* Alt-click a [[Fire Extinguisher]] [[File:Fire_extinguisher.gif]] to subtly empty its water on the floor below you. People chasing you may [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|slip]].
* Carry a bottle or beaker of water. Select [[Starter_guide#Harm_Intent|harm intent]] [[File:Intent_Harm.png]] and click on ground with it to splash the water on the ground, making people [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|slip]].
* Drag a [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] behind you to [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|slip]] people.
* If you know what you're doing (or you are an [[Terminology#Antag|antag]]), learn how to make and utilize [[Guide_to_chemistry#Explosion|bombs]].
* You can [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knock people down]] a couple of seconds by aiming at their head on [[Starter_guide#Harm_Intent|harm intent]] [[File:Intent_Harm.png]], and hitting them with a bottle of booze.
<br>
There is much more to learn than this. Some things must come from experience, or from [[Ghost|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.
=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=
==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.

Like 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.
=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.

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.

===Shotgun Shells===
* [[File:Buckshot_shell.png|32px]]'''Buckshot:''' Shoots 6 pellets dealing 12.5 brute damage each, for a maximum of 75. Extremely lethal at close range.
* [[File:Buckshot_shell.png|32px]] '''Shotgun Slug:''' Fires one large projectile doing 60 damage, with slightly poor armor penetration.
* [[File:Bean_shell.png|32px]] '''Rubber Shot:''' Shoots 6 pellets dealing 3 brute and 25 stamina damage each. More effective at stopping a target, but stamina damage fades with time.
* [[File:Bean_shell.png|32px]] '''Beanbag:''' Shoots one single beanbag, dealing 5 brute and 80 stamina damage. The bartender uses these by default.
* [[File:Stun_Shell.png|32px]] '''Stun Shell:''' Shoots an electrode that stuns on hit, much like a taser.
* [[File:Fire_shell.png|32px]] '''Incendiary Slug:''' Shoots a single projectile that leaves a fire trail and ignites the target, on top of 20 brute damage.
* [[File:Tech_shell.png|32px]] '''Shotgun Dart:''' A single dart that can contain up to 30 units of chemicals that'll be injected on hit.
* [[File:Tech_shell.png|32px]] '''Technological Shells:''' Unloaded technological shells can be made in a [[Guide to Research and Development|Protolathe]]. See [[Research items#Unloaded Technological Shell|here]] for the recipes.
** [[File:Meteor_shell.png|32px]] '''Meteorshot Shell:''' A single powerful projectile, deals 30 brute damage and stuns for 8 seconds. Pushes back machinery on hit.
** [[File:Pulse_shell.png|32px]] '''Pulse Slug:''' Works like one of the deathsquad's pulse rifle shots, dealing 50 burn damage and damaging or destroying walls and machinery.
** [[File:Dragon_shell.png|32px]] '''Dragonsbreath Shell:''' Like the incendiary slug, but shoots a spread of 4 burning pellets. Deals less direct damage.
** [[File:Frag_shell.png|32px]] '''FRAG-12 Slug:''' An explosive shell that knocks down targets and causes an explosion where it hits, on top of dealing 25 brute damage.
** [[File:Ion_shell.png|32px]] '''Ion Scatter Shell:''' Shoots a spread of 4 ion bolts, each of which ions a single target instead of the 3x3 area hit by normal ion rifles.
** [[File:Laser_shell.png|32px]] '''Laser Scatter Shell:''' Shoots a spread of 6 laser beams with up to 90 total damage.

=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).

==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.

Latest revision as of 23:43, 19 December 2023

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 written april 2019. If you are reading it much later, some things may be outdated. this has been slightly updated to July 2021 standards yet its still very outdated

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 120 if very happy) 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. Hurting the head, legs or arms with 100 damage (350 for head) brute damage can cut them off when using a sharp weapon and will transfer half the damage to the body. 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.

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.

Stuns

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. Also note, when the wiki or players talk about "stuns", they typically mean both the paralyze and the stun status effects. Stun times varies depending on item used, but are usually around 1-5 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.

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. Grab your target by ctrl+clicking it (works even while cuffing). Switch to help intent 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, you can also instantly remove cablecuffs from someone by using wirecutters on them.

Melee Combat

On Beestation, you interact with a person in melee by being next to them and clicking on their sprite (and not on the tile they are standing on/moving towards). When your interaction connects, something will happen depending on what your intent is 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 (about 0.8 seconds).

Blocking

The requirements to block is to hold an item which is able to block and be on any intent except help intent. All shields can obviously block, all shields(except adamantine shield, it uses non-shield blocking mechanics) have an integrity which gets lowered every time they block an attack and once their integrity reaches 0 they will break, some non-shield items can also block(mop, skateboard, chair, katana, energy sword etc.), when you block with a non-shield item the arm holding the item that blocked will take stamina damage until it gets stamina critted and it forces you to drop the item which was blocking, if the item you are blocking with is stuck to your arm(glue, changeling blade) once it gets stamina critted it will stop blocking until the stamina damage gets healed. There are three important variables when it comes to blocking those being:

  • Block Level - Determines the range at which the blocking item can actually block projectiles or melee hits from, there are four blocking levels, the images below this show blocking levels and the areas they block from, blocking is directional so the tiles you block will move according to the direction you are facing.

  • Block Power - This is esentially block armor and it reduces the amount of damage your arm or shield takes after blocking.
  • Block Upgrade Walk - This adds more blocking levels to the blocking item when your speed is set to walk, on almost all items it's raised by 1.

Mirror shield and energy shield can block projectiles. Non-shields cannot block projectiles with the exception of a few items such as the Double-Bladed Energy Sword or the Katana. Trying to touch someone holding a sharp blocking item by hugging, grabbing, disarming or punching with your empty hand while being in their blocking range will result in them automatically hitting you back with their blocking item. All non-shield items must be held in your active hand(the one that is highlighted) to block, switching your active hand off the blocking item will result in you not being able to block, shields however can block regardless of what hand is active.

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 missed a shot with the bow, due to you dodging behind a machine or wall, and is now coming towards you with the e-sword. You have have a few options.

Shoving

You enable disarm intent and read here about how shoving works. You can try to lure your enemy into a spot where you can shove him against an object, making him drop both weapons. Then shove him one more time on the ground to paralyze him for 4 seconds. Then you must quickly left click his own dropped energy sword to pick it up. Kill him with it.

Grabbing

You enable grab intent . For this to work your enemy must either be temporarily stunned or standing still and not paying attention. First you click your target once to passive grab. Keep spamclicking him, and if he doesn't move or "resist" to break out of your grab, you will grab him aggressively. This will make you stun the target for a very short moment, making him drop any held items. Either pick up the dropped energy sword and kill him with it, or continue to tabling.

Tabling

When having an aggressive grab on the enemy, you can quickly "table" him. Do this by clicking any table within your melee range, while still on grab intent. This will instantly transport him to the top of the table, and paralyze him for a second. If you are very fast you can attempt to permanently keep him stunned by spamclicking him with grab to aggressive again, and clicking the same table again. Over and over. If you are on the receiving end of this treatment, all you can do is yell for help and spam "resist", which will make you attempt to break out of the grab (with a 2 second cooldown or so). Resisting will not work the 4 seconds you are paralyzed, so your enemy must mess up the timing for you to escape. Tabling on a glass table will stun for a longer duration, but will break the table.

Strangling

If having an aggressive grab, you can reinforce your grab two more times by clicking the target on grab intent . 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 VERY slow process, and the target can attempt to break free by spamming "resist" or trying to move away. The target has 5% chance to break out per try (down from ~30% on aggressive grab) and takes 8-15 stamina damage every failed attempt. Strangling is rarely used unless the target is already cuffed. The target can call for help while being strangled.

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. Throwing him at an airlock will make it open, if he is wearing a valid ID.

Punching and kicking

You enable harm intent . 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 enable disarm intent and shove the target on the ground to paralyze him for 4 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 7brute damage.

Curbstomping

To perform a curbstomp you need to meet several criteria for both yourself and the target. The criteria are as follows, the first being that you need to target the head, The second being that you must be on harm intent , The third is that your target must be lying down and the fourth is that you must be on the same tile as them. once all of the criteria are met then click and drag your sprite onto theirs, this will then cause you to wait for several seconds before finally performing the curbstomp. This is an effective finisher for enemies already in a crit state as it does 36 brute damage to the head.

Groinkicking

The groinkick is very similar to the curbstomp but has a conditional damage set which causes characters which are male to take 25 damage as opposed to 15 for their female counterparts. This is performed by following the same process described above with the curbstomp. The steps are the same but however requires you to target the groin as opposed to the head. so the steps will be as follows, Harm intent , Target groin , target must be lying down and you must be on the same tile as your target. Once these are met, click and drag your sprite to theirs wait for a few seconds and you will kick them in the groin.

Using 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. The differences to unarmed fighting is that intent usually doesn't matter. There are exceptions though. Stun batons and stunprods will only deal brute damage when on harm intent . Otherwise they will deal stamina damage. 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 stun your target before you start whacking.

Ranged Combat

Ranged projectiles in this game use pixel perfect movement. Shoot by having a ranged weapon in your hand, and 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. Sometimes when you're running your weapon will randomly not fire when clicking. This can be due to how the game engine works, so just keep spamclicking until you fire.

Ranged Intents

There are some differences to firing guns between different intents:

  • On help , disarm and grab intents you can fire at a target point blank by clicking directly on them. On harm intent you will instead do a melee strike with your gun, unless you aim behind your target.
  • On harm intent you can fire two guns at the same time. However, you will also have a random spread to your accuracy.

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 .

Execution With Guns

If you target mouth , and use any intent except harm , you will aim for 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.

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 make the target blind. Only works if target has no eyewear.
  • Alt-click a Fire Extinguisher to subtly empty its water on the floor below you. People chasing you may slip.
  • Carry a bottle or beaker of water. Select harm intent and click on ground with it to splash the water on the ground, making people slip.
  • Drag a soap behind you to slip people.
  • If you know what you're doing (or you 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 harm intent , 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.

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

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.

Icon Item Damage How to Acquire Faction Usage Notes
Broken Bottle 15 Brute when breaking
9 Brute after broken
Get a bottle from the Booze-o-mat, smash it on someone. Civilian Has to be broken first, to break simply change intent to harm then smash it against someone; by aiming for the head you will also knock them down if they are not wearing protective head gear. Smashing it spills its contents over the target so you could use it as a chemist to knock out your opponent, by filling it with chloral, and then beat them to death with it. Another reason why traitor Chemist is so great. If the bottle's contents are flammable (booze bottles, for instance) you can follow up by setting your opponent on fire.
Butcher's Cleaver 15 Brute Hack the Dinnerware vending machine. Nanotrasen Service, Culinary Subdepartment 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 Nanotrasen Medical 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 Nanotrasen Service, Botany Subdepartment 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. Nanotrasen Engineering, Atmospherics Subdepartment 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. Nanotrasen Service, Botany Subdepartment 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. Nanotrasen Service, Culinary Subdepartment 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.
Picture here Iron switchblade 12 Brute/15 Brute thrown Makeshift Weapons. Civilian A perfect self defense iron switchblade, being able to fit in combat shoes and pockets.
Plastitanium switchblade 15 Brute/17 Brute thrown Makeshift Weapons. Civilian An evil-looking upgraded switchblade capable of slowing down opponents in two hits, often extremely lethal if used repeatedly.
Null Rod 18 Brute (base) Chapel and on the Chaplain. Nanotrasen Service 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. Nanotrasen Logistics, Mining Subdepartment 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. Nanotrasen Logistics, Mining Subdepartment Does less damage, but can fit in a backpack.
Survival Knife 15 Brute Miner's explorer backpacks, Miner's explorer boots Nanotrasen Logistics, Mining Subdepartment Miners spawn with a very robust knife that can fit in their pockets or boots.
Scalpel 10 Brute Operating Theatre Autolathe. Nanotrasen Medical 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. Nanotrasen Medical 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 13 Brute when off
21 Brute when on
Made by yourself Civilian You can surgically replace an arm with a chainsaw. Can break an airlock down.
Baseball bat 10 Brute Made by yourself Civilian Knocks back targets on hit.

Like 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.

Icon Item Damage How to Acquire Faction Usage Notes
Cult Blade 30 Brute Cult magic Cultists Those who aren't Cultists suffer from wielding this blade...MENTALLY. Aside from being very robust, it is Cult exclusive. Expect a wave of batons lasers when Security sees you holding this.
Energy Sword 3 Brute Off
30 Brute On
Through a Syndicate Uplink Syndicate/Nanotrasen Despite being very strong in melee combat, its activation is loud, very obvious to those around you, and a very big target for people looking for free gear. It also counts as a shield when active! Aim for the legs or arms. Use a multitool on one to turn on RAINBOW MODE (permanently). TURN IT ON BEFORE YOU USE IT
Double-bladed Energy Sword 3 Brute Off
34 Brute On
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 tasers and lasers. Like the energy sword, its activation is very loud. To create this, you must combine two Energy Swords together of any color (hold one in each hand and click the other sword) or receive it in a Syndicate Bundle. You cannot put two holodeck swords together. Use a multitool on one to turn on RAINBOW MODE (permanently). TURN IT ON BEFORE YOU USE IT For obvious balance reasons, hulks cannot use these.
Stun Baton 8 brute Security Office and Security Officer's backpack. Security Very robust if you know how to use it properly. Only the security force can get these easily. Deploy liberally, but stow for transport.
Katana 40 brute Possible loot from necropolis chests in Lavaland and in the ninja bundle. Mining and Traitors Real katanas are very robust, but only traitors have a reasonable chance of finding them.
Telescopic Baton 0 Brute Heads of Staff's backpacks. Command Like the old stunbaton but retractable, with a short stun time. 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 very good armor penetration. Surprisingly sharp for a fashion accessory.
Combat Knife 20 Brute Can be ordered through Cargo. Security Very robust for its size.

Ranged Weapons

Although often hard to get, these can put you at a huge advantage. Not just from being outside melee range, but also by shooting through windows and destroying walls. Guns rely on a stock of ammo, and those are hard to get, while energy guns use recharging units or just recharge by themselves.

Sidearms (Ballistic)

Ballistic weapons remain a popular weapon in the 26th century, typically however Nanotrasen prefer the usage of Energy weapons over Ballistic weapons, so don't expect to see many ballistic weapons on station.

Shotgun Shells

  • Buckshot: Shoots 6 pellets dealing 12.5 brute damage each, for a maximum of 75. Extremely lethal at close range.
  • Shotgun Slug: Fires one large projectile doing 60 damage, with slightly poor armor penetration.
  • Rubber Shot: Shoots 6 pellets dealing 3 brute and 25 stamina damage each. More effective at stopping a target, but stamina damage fades with time.
  • Beanbag: Shoots one single beanbag, dealing 5 brute and 80 stamina damage. The bartender uses these by default.
  • Stun Shell: Shoots an electrode that stuns on hit, much like a taser.
  • Incendiary Slug: Shoots a single projectile that leaves a fire trail and ignites the target, on top of 20 brute damage.
  • Shotgun Dart: A single dart that can contain up to 30 units of chemicals that'll be injected on hit.
  • Technological Shells: Unloaded technological shells can be made in a Protolathe. See here for the recipes.
    • Meteorshot Shell: A single powerful projectile, deals 30 brute damage and stuns for 8 seconds. Pushes back machinery on hit.
    • Pulse Slug: Works like one of the deathsquad's pulse rifle shots, dealing 50 burn damage and damaging or destroying walls and machinery.
    • Dragonsbreath Shell: Like the incendiary slug, but shoots a spread of 4 burning pellets. Deals less direct damage.
    • FRAG-12 Slug: An explosive shell that knocks down targets and causes an explosion where it hits, on top of dealing 25 brute damage.
    • Ion Scatter Shell: Shoots a spread of 4 ion bolts, each of which ions a single target instead of the 3x3 area hit by normal ion rifles.
    • Laser Scatter Shell: Shoots a spread of 6 laser beams with up to 90 total damage.
    • Improvised Shotgun Shell: Shoots a spread of 7 metal shards, doing a total of 60 damage at point blank.

Instakill Rifle None Infinite Infinite Ask a admin to spawn you one because you ain't killing them. Admin Flat out disintegrates all living targets. Only likely to be encountered if someone particularly likes or hates you.

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 75 Stamina Security Or be a security cyborg Not being security, and having this out, is likely to land you in the brig.
Stunprod 70 Stamina 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 50 Stamina(arms)

Knockdown(legs)

Duration 3

Be a Head of Staff Not being a head of staff and having one of these is yet another way to incur security's ire.
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 Or be a cyborg Cyborgs are vulnerable to this method of stunning. Eye protection, such as sunglasses or welding helmets prevents you from being stunned this way.
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 Stun
Duration varies with distance. Max 10
Security Very good for stunning a whole room. Not wearing ear protection will make you deaf for awhile. Wearing both sunglasses and a bowman headset makes you immune to these.
Laser Pointer Blinds humans
Stuns cyborgs
Duration 5-10

Annoys felinids

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, And (Advanced) Sunglasses also can be used for welding

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.

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.

bullet = 10
laser = 60
energy = 50
It will sometimes deflect energy projectiles, which includes Taser shots! It's also a traitor objective. Expect to receive a harsh sentence from security if caught with this.

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.

laser = 30
energy = 10
bomb = 25
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.

bullet = 10
laser = 10
energy = 10
It's very resistant to melee attacks, BUT it's less protective against lasers than standard armor.

laser = 20
energy = 10
bomb = 100

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 Offers same stats as Body Armor, just cosmetically different. melee = 30
bullet = 30
laser = 30
energy = 10
