Makeshift weapons: Difference between revisions

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 [[Head of Security|hardy]] [[Captain|of]] [[Clown|people]].

====[[File:Chainsaw.gif]] Chainsaw====

The Chainsaw is a glorified version of the [[circular saw]], with extra robustness. You can even surgically replace your arms with chainsaws, if you would like your dream about the unstoppable Double Chainsaw Griffon Man to come true. They can be tablecrafted using a circular saw, a plasteel sheet, some cable coil, and a welding tool. Don't forget to turn it on!

!Requires

|1 x [[File:Saw.png|Circular saw|link=Circular saw]], 1x [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable coil|link=Cable coil]], 1x [[File:Metal r.png|Plasteel|link=Plasteel]], [[File:Welder.png|Welder|link=Welder]]

====[[File:IED.png]] Improvised Explosive Device (IED)====

!Requires

|1 x soda can, 1 x [[File:igniter.png|1 igniter|link=Igniter]], [[File:FuelTank.png|link=Fuel Tank]], 1 x [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable coil|link=Cable coil]]

Fill the can with welding fuel

====[[File:Flamethrower.gif]] Flamethrower====

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]]; while very effective against the aforementioned two infestations, the flamer is at best a suppression weapon against human targets and at worst a suicide attack to yourself. You are better off using a Stun Prod or a Toolbox to do direct damage, however 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.

May simply cause masses of [[plasma]] to be spewed everywhere if the pressure settings are too high.
