==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.

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.

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==

![[File:Stunprod.png|64px]]

!{{anchor|Stunprod}}[[Stunprod]]

|[[Makeshift weapons|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.

![[File:Disarm.png|64px]]

!{{anchor|Disarm Intent}}[[Intent|Disarm Intent]]

|Have arms

|You have a chance to disarm (make someone drop their weapon) or push someone down when attacking with the disarm intent. Someone pushed down will also drop their weapon. Very brief.

![[File:Hspray.png|64px]]

!{{anchor|Chemicals}}[[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemicals]]

|[[Chemistry]]

|Typically used with a syringe gun, [[Hypospray]], or [[Grenade|Smoke Grenade]]. Some chemicals, like [[Chloral Hydrate]], or [[Morphine]], can hold targets still for some time, while others can be very harmful.

|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.<br>

|[[Wizard#Mutate|Wizardry]]

|Hulks don't get stunned and don't fall ever. Even space lube doesn't make them fall, though they do slip. Stamina damage reduces the duration of hulking.

|Doesn't do anything with the stun itself; rather, it protects you from flashing

A few items, when used, can completely block damage.

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 only protects the region that it covers on your body. No armor protects your entire body.

|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.

| The kicker? It goes in your jumpsuit slot, and when worn underneath armor will stack their defenses additively.
