|Using it in your hand will make you do a dodge roll in the direction you're facing, making you ignore all damage for 0.5 seconds while moving you forward, doing so deals 5 stamina damage to you on lavaland and 15 stamina damage on the station

== Ranged Weapons ==

While ranged weapons can be difficult to obtain, they hold a few significant advantages. Namely, utilizing a ranged weapon means that you are out of melee range; it is safer, and you are afforded far more freedom in your positioning during combat. Ranged weapons also tend to be more debilitating than melee weapons, generally doing more damage quicker. Their main flaw lies in a limited stock of ammunition. Ballistics require bullets that match the caliber the firearm takes, as well as likely requiring a paired magazine for loading said bullets. Meanwhile, energy weapons typically run off an internal battery that can be conveniently reloaded at several rechargers around the station. Regardless, you will more likely than not have to address the matter of ammo when using a ranged weapon, one way or another.

|A long-range rifle typically used by Syndicate recon operatives. Fires powerful rounds and possesses a short-range scope to better see over distances.

Similarly to the LWT, has improved accuracy over other firearms.

==== Revolver ====

|Compensates its low firing rate by being extremely powerful. Can be sawed off to fit in backpacks, incurring a massive loss of accuracy. Its bullet travels slightly faster than most and is exceptionally at causing wounds over long distances. Requires two hands to fire.

It also supports a bayonet.

|A sidearm that is a doubly-shrunken Pulse Rifle. While it has the least number of shots out of all the pulse weapons, it still has a number of shots equal to what you would expect from a standard energy gun, only the projectiles are MUCH scarier. Can fit into pockets. '''Unaffected by EMP.'''

===== Miscellaneous =====

These energy guns are difficult to categorize, as their effects are more varied. They can range from entirely non-lethal or massively destructive to organic tissue.

| 100u of chemicals

|6 Brute + 15u chemicals

| Syndicate  

| Stores up to 100u of reagents. Upon firing, will synthesize a syringe automatically filled with 15u of the mix in the gun itself. Great if you don't want to carry around a ton of syringes and just reload by pouring beakers into it.

=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]].

|Having this is a quick way to get robusted by security. Doesn't fit in backpacks, but can be carried on your back.

|[[HoS]]

|A good set of armour that covers the entire body, and the HoS starts with it. Not as powerful as it once was but it's still robust.

| Like the Security Officer's, the Durathread jumpsuit is also worn in the jumpsuit slot and will also stack defenses with other armor.
