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]].

=Crafting Menu: Weaponry=

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

|1 [[File:Welder.png|welding tool|link=Welding Tool]], 1 [[File:Igniter.png|igniter|link=Igniter]], 1 [[File:AniRods.gif|metal rod|link=Rods]], 1 [[File:Screwdriver tool.png|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 [[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.

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

  '''Alternative crafting method:'''

  Screwdriver the Welder.

  Screwdriver to finish.

  Load a Plasma Tank.

===[[File:Improvised_shotgun.png]] Improvised Shotgun===

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

===[[File:Spear.png]] Spear===

{| style="background-color:#EEEEEE" width="300"

The spear is a makeshift melee weapon which can only be held in your hand or on your back. It deals more damage when wielded in both hands.

   Use the Glass Shard on the Wired Rod.

===[[File:Lasrifle.png]] Makeshift Laser Rifle===

{| style="background-color:#EEEEEE" width="300"

|}

=Crafting Menu: Misc=

===[[File:Extendohand.png]] Extendo-Hand===

|}

Lets you reach things that are 2 tiles away and interact with them as if you were using your bare hand on them. Too long and awkward to use on things that are adjacent to you though. Basically you can fistfight/disarm people from a tile away assuming they don't close the distance or anything, plus you can unlock lockers or open doors from a tile away and stuff.

=Other Weaponry=

Weapons not craftable using the crafting menu.

|}

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.

   '''Crafting method:'''

   Click on the Cable Coil in your hand and select "Make Cable Restraints".

   Alternatively, you can hold some cable and click 'Make Cable Restraints' in the object tab.

===[[File:Bomb assembly.png]] Singletank Bomb===

{| style="background-color:#EEEEEE" width="300"

|}

Singletank bombs are, unlike TTV bombs, constructed from a singular tank. As a result, they tend towards less explosive power but make up for it by being very easy to create in comparison. Experiment with gas mixtures.

   '''Crafting method:'''

   Use the screwdriver on the igniter and detonator, then attach them together.
