===[[File:Baseball bat metal.png]] Titanium Baseball Bat===
Cable cuffs are makeshift handcuffs. They are easier to break out of, and wirecutters will remove them instantly, but otherwise they still function as normal handcuffs. You need at least 15 coils.

While the Stunprod is great for self-defence it deals poor damage to targets, best usage of the Stunprod is to subdue your target or use it to get distance between yourself and the target.

|}
The flamethrower creates a stream of flame that superheats the air and causes those caught in the flame to catch on fire. It has a range of about three tiles and is most effective against [[xenos|alien]] weeds and [[Space_Vines|space vines]]. The flamethrower is great for area denial, AoE attacks, and damage done over time (both from catching on fire and the hot state that it leaves the surrounding air in). When using a flamethrower either wear a [[Firesuit]] to protect you against the high heat or move back as soon as you fire the weapon, and a gas mask with attached oxygen.


====[[File:Chainsaw.gif]] Chainsaw====
The flamethrower may simply cause masses of [[plasma]] to be spewed everywhere if the pressure settings are too high. It should also be noted that the fuel inside the plasma tank determines the properties of the shot flame.

Makeshift weapons are offensive weaponry or equipment that can be made with relatively common and low tech items. They are significantly less effective than more modern and effective security items, but these weapons can prove to be very useful in a pinch and can surprise even the most hardy of people.

Crafting Menu: Weaponry

These weapons are made using the crafting menu (the hammer or T symbol left of intents).

Weapons

Baseball bat metal.png Titanium Baseball Bat

Crafting Recipe
40 wooden plants, 1 welding tool

The titanium baseball bat is a heavy-hitting bat, which causes its victims to be sent flying a short distance.
Only available via the Makeshift Weapons book.

Spear.png Explosive Lance (Grenade)

Crafting Recipe
1 spear, 1 grenade

A lance that acts like a spear, but explodes when hit or thrown. Be careful not to stand near this on use!
Only available via the Makeshift Weapons book.

IED.png Improvised Explosive Device (IED)

Crafting Recipe
1 can, 1 igniter, 1 fuel tank, 1 cable coil

The IED is a firebomb made out of a soda can. It is weak but it can do lots of damage if used correctly, from setting fire to crew to breaking power wires. It has a random timer between 3 and 8 seconds, so use it wisely!
You can fill the can with welding fuel if you don't want to drag around a fuel tank with you.

Pipebomb.png Pipebomb

Crafting Recipe
1 fuel tank, 1 cable coil, 1 igniter, 1 mousetrap, 1 pipe, 1 welding tool, 1 wrench, 1 wirecutters

The pipebomb can be armed and shoved into a container, so the next person who opens it gets the explosion. It is weak and doesn't breach the station, and the damage isn't lethal.
Only available via the Makeshift Weapons book.

Flashshield.png Strobe Shield

Crafting Recipe
1 mounted flash frame, 1 flash, 1 riot shield

A shield with a built in, high intensity light capable of blinding and disorienting suspects. Takes regular handheld flashes as bulbs.

Absinthe.png Molotov Cocktail

Crafting Recipe
1 drink, 1 damp rag

A throwing weapon used to ignite things, typically filled with an accelerant. Recommended highly by rioters and revolutionaries. Light and toss.
Use a lighter on the molotov cocktail to make it useable.
You use a glass bottle with any liquid inside of it.

Stunprod.png Stunprod

Crafting Recipe
1 cable restraints, 1 metal rod, 1 igniter

The Stunprod is a makeshift Stun Baton which consumes much more battery life and stuns for less when used, it will keep a target down for about five seconds which is enough time to slap some cuffs on. Expect to get thrown in the brig if caught with this weapon by Security. It is possible to recharge a Stunprod after depleting its power supply, simply use a Screwdriver on the prod to remove the Power Cell and either replace it with a fresh cell or put the dead cell in a Cell Charger. Rechargers are also surprisingly compatible with Stunprods.

While the Stunprod is great for self-defence it deals poor damage to targets, best usage of the Stunprod is to subdue your target or use it to get distance between yourself and the target.

Use a power cell (battery) on the stunprod, then use the stunprod in-hand to turn it on. 

 Alternative crafting method:
 Make Cable Restraints from the Cable Coil.
 Use the Rods on the Cable Restraints.
 Use the Igniter on the rod.
 Use the Power Cell on the assembled rod.

Flamethrower.gif Flamethrower

Crafting Recipe
1 welding tool, 1 igniter, 1 metal rod, 1 screwdriver

The flamethrower creates a stream of flame that superheats the air and causes those caught in the flame to catch on fire. It has a range of about three tiles and is most effective against alien weeds and space vines. The flamethrower is great for area denial, AoE attacks, and damage done over time (both from catching on fire and the hot state that it leaves the surrounding air in). When using a flamethrower either wear a Firesuit to protect you against the high heat or move back as soon as you fire the weapon, and a gas mask with attached oxygen.

The flamethrower may simply cause masses of plasma to be spewed everywhere if the pressure settings are too high. It should also be noted that the fuel inside the plasma tank determines the properties of the shot flame. Mixes of plasma and other gases can create different results when using the flamethrower, namely in temperature.
Only available via the Makeshift Weapons book.

Attach a plasma tank, then use the flamethrower in-hand to start it.

 Attach the assembly to the tank by hitting it on the tank.
 Weld a pressure hole into the tank with a welding tool.
