=Guns and Lasers=
==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.

=Defense=
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]].
==Armor==
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 will reduce all damage of a certain type, on parts of your body that are protected by the armor. You will see ''"Your armor has protected your X."'' when your armor blocks damage. ''"Your armor absorbs the blow!"'' appears to also indicate full protection. The defense values are indicated by an armor's percent protection from different damage types, for example basic Armor has a melee protection rate of 50, as such it will always block 50% of all melee damage to the chest.
Armor only protects the region that it covers on your body. No armor protects your entire body.

|The Captain will usually wear this.  It's also space-worthy, but it will slow you down.  Wearing this while not the Captain is a good way to get robusted.

|-
|[[File:Bulletproofvest.png]]
|'''[[Bulletproof Vest]]
|[[Armory]]
|Makes the wearer very resilient to bullets at the cost of any other damage.
|melee = 10 <br>bullet = 80 <br>laser = 10 <br>energy = 10

|-
|[[File:Armor.png]]
|'''[[Body Armor]]
|[[Captain]], [[HoS]], [[HoP]], [[Security]]
|Protects moderately against melee and lasers, which are common things to be harmed by.
|melee = 50 <br>bullet = 15 <br>laser = 50 <br>energy = 10 <br>bomb = 25

|-
|[[File:Swatarmor.png]]
|'''Riot Suit
|[[Armory]]
|This, combined with the riot shield, will make you be the nightmare of fire extinguisher -wielding [[assistant]]s everywhere. Gives complete protection to the entire body.
|melee = 80 <br>bullet = 10 <br>laser = 10 <br>energy = 10
|It's very resistant to melee attacks, BUT it's less protective against lasers than standard armor. Slows you down slightly
|-
|[[File:Armoredcoat.png]]
|'''Armored Coat
|[[HoS]]
|The most protective armor available on the station, and the HoS starts with it. Gives complete protection to most of the body.
|melee = 65 <br>bullet = 30 <br>laser = 50 <br>energy = 10 <br>bomb = 25

==Stuns and Incapacitation==
Having the ability to stun at a moment's notice will protect you from getting robusted quite often (as long as you don't get stunned first).

|[[File:StunBaton.gif]]
|'''[[Stun Baton]]
|[[Security]]
|[[Hulk]]
|Not being security, and having this out, is likely to land you in the brig.
|-
|[[File:Flash.gif]]
|'''[[Flash]]
|[[Security]], [[Heads of Staff|Heads]], [[Bridge]], [[Security Checkpoint|Sec Checkpoint]], [[Tech Storage]]
|[[Sunglasses]], [[Welding Helmet]]
|[[Cyborg]]s are vulnerable to this method of stunning.
|-
|[[File:Taser.png]]
|'''[[Taser]]
|[[Security]]

|'''E-Gun
|[[Captain]], [[HoS]], [[HoP]], [[Armory]]

|-
|[[File:Disarm.png]]
|'''[[Intent|Disarm Intent]]
|Have arms
|Dangerous to do
|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.
|-
|[[File:Hspray.png]]
|'''[[Chloral Hydrate]]
|[[Chemistry]]
|Coffee
|Typically used with a syringe gun, [[Hypospray]], or [[Grenade|Smoke Grenade]]. This puts anyone to sleep for an extended period of time. Large doses can kill someone (30+ units).
|-
|[[File:Flashbang.gif]]
|'''[[Flashbang]]
|[[Security]]
|[[Sunglasses]] + [[Earmuffs]]
|Very good for stunning a whole room. Not wearing ear protection will make you deaf for awhile.
|-
|[[File:Laser Pointer.png]]
|'''[[High-risk_items#Laser_Pointer|Laser Pointer]]
|[[Lawyer]], [[Librarian]], [[Research Director]]
|
|Has a chance of blinding people and cyborgs, like a [[Flash]]; a fully upgraded laser pointer has a 100% chance.
|-
|[[File:Hud-target.png]]
|'''Knockout
|Have arms
|[[Helmet]]s might protect you
|When you hit someone in the head/mouth, there's a fairly low chance for them to be knocked out.
|-
|}
==Damage Prevention==
A few items, when used, can completely block damage.

|[[File:RiotS.png]]
|'''Riot Shield
|[[Armory]]

|-
|[[File:Eshield.png]]
|'''Energy Combat Shield
|[[Nuke ops]]
|Blocks most melee and ranged projectiles
|This will also block [[Taser]]s, making Nuclear Operatives very hard to kill, unless they're surrounded.
|-
|[[File:Reactivearmor.png]]
|'''[[Reactive Teleport Armor]]
|[[Research Director's Office]]
|Teleports you randomly if you're hit.
|It could end badly if you get spaced due to this, but it'll still improve your odds of surviving.
|-
|[[File:Sword.gif]]
|'''[[Energy Sword]]
|[[Syndicate Items|Syndicate Uplinks]]
|Blocks most projectiles
|Needs to be turned on to work. You're still vulnerable to melee attacks with this.
