==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.

Note: This lists only shells that can be acquired by normal means.

*[[File:Buckshot_shell.png|32px]]'''Buckshot:''' Shoots 6 pellets dealing 11 brute damage each. Extremely lethal at close range.

**[[File:Uranium_shell.png|32px]] '''Depleted Uranium Slug:''' Shoots one ultra penetrative projectile dealing 30 brute but bypassing almost all armor and going through mobs.

===Bow===

Bows, despite being mostly outdated, are still used by people without easy access to other ranged weapons. Shooting a bow require the user to load an arrow manually then drawing the bow before being able to fire, this results in a noticeably slower firerate compared to regular guns. Arrows will generally drop on the ground after hitting their target letting them be reused, they can also embed in targets, requiringthe arrow to be removed to prevent additional damage.

|A bow made using harder to obtain materials and of higher quality than the makeshift bow. Has less spread than the makeshift bow.

Note: This lists only arrows that can be acquired by normal means. All arrows do 20 extra damage to fauna unless otherwise stated.

![[File:Laser gun.png|64px]]

|Security

|A versatile energy weapon. Best thing is to disable a target and then either handcuff (for arresting) or spam the other remaining shots at them on kill mode (for murder).

|-

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

| Nanotrasen

|This beams from this gun will pass through everything but a wall. While it does do less burn damage, the radiation it inflicts causes toxin damage and can make someone mutate. Great for shooting up crowded hallways. Kills blobs dead. Current range of the gun is 15 tiles and drops further with every obstacle passed by the beam.

|}

===Bow===

Energy bows cannot use regular arrows, instead they generate one and only require drawing before being fired. Energy arrows cannot be reused and will dissipate after use, upon embedding they will deal 1 damage per tick for 10 ticks before dissipating(the damage type depend on the arrow).

|Clockwork Cult

|The main ranged option of Rat'var's servants when defending the Ark.
