Makeshift weapons: Difference between revisions

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.

The IED is an explosive made out of a soda can. It is weak but it can gib dead bodies and do lots of damage if used correctly, from blowing open windows to breaking power wires. It has a random timer between 3 and 8 seconds, so use it wisely!  

It creates a stream of flame that briefly superheats the air. 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 than the flamethrower unless you are trying to slow your pursuers. 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.
