This is a table of some common, or just robust, things. This is not a list of how much damage each item does, just the best items and short notes on how to use them best. If you feel something should be added, please go ahead and do so, if it's robust enough. This is in alphabetical order:

Weapons

While most items in the game can be used as a makeshift weapon, actual dedicated weapons are far more effective in harming, subduing or killing a target.

Offense

Melee Weapons

Most station personal lack access to proper firearms, thus if push comes to shove most people will have to rely on the old fashion method of melee combat to deal with a attacker.

Makeshift Weapons

Almost any object on the station can be used as a makeshift melee weapon, however some are better than others.

Icon Item Damage How to Acquire Faction Usage Notes
  Broken Bottle 15 Brute when breaking
9 Brute after broken
Get a bottle from the Booze-o-mat, smash it on someone. Civilian Has to be broken first, to break simply change intent to harm then smash it against someone; by aiming for the head you will also knock them down if they are not wearing protective head gear. Smashing it spills its contents over the target so you could use it as a chemist to knock out your opponent, by filling it with chloral, and then beat them to death with it. Another reason why traitor Chemist is so great. If the bottle's contents are flammable (booze bottles, for instance) you can follow up by setting your opponent on fire.
  Butcher's Cleaver 15 Brute Hack the Dinnerware vending machine. Civilian: Kitchen Staff Somewhat hard to get. Security will likely have their suspicions as the only reason to have this over the normal knife is its robusting power. Works as a ghetto circular saw in surgery.
  Circular Saw 15 Brute Operating Theatre Robotics Lab Autolathe Civilian: Medical/Research One of the most robust things you can find. Sadly they are rather uncommon and departments like to hang onto theirs, and security likes to take them. You can print one at the Cargo Bay's autolathe, if it has metal to make it.
  Death Nettle Up to 30 Burn.
Damage depends on potency.
Loses a random amount of damage after each hit.
Growing them at Hydroponics Civilian: Botany A red nettle that can deal high damage. Requires gloves to wield, lasts for several hits (damage reduced with each hit) until they disintegrate (i.e. the evidence disappears). Experienced Botanists can make these. At low potency they are mostly a joke but at high potency they are as strong as energy swords (for one hit).
  Fire Extinguisher 10 Brute Emergency Fire closets and lockers, emergency storage rooms Civilian Found across the station so they're aren't in short supply. Unlikely to be taken by security if they search you. They are also very useful if you get spaced, spray in opposite direction of where you want to go, and you'll fly away. With a limit of 50 units, that's 10 squirts using 5 per spray.
 
 
Air/Oxygen/Anaesthetic tank 10 Brute Emergency lockers E.V.A. Toxins lab Atmospherics Operating Theatre (for anaesthetic tanks). Civilian Found across the station so they're aren't in short supply. Air and oxygen tanks are unlikely to be taken by security if they search you. You can use it for internals while having it in your hand (though it is recommended you don't use an anaesthetic tank).
  Fire Axe 5 Onehand
24 Twohand
Bridge and Atmospherics. Civilian: Atmospherics/Command Most robust thing you can get from the Station. Has to be held with two hands to be used properly. Security will likely take it and it's a large object. Best to store this on your back. They are also rare, one is in Atmos and the other is in the Bridge, good luck breaking in before it gets taken. Can be used as a crowbar (while wielded) on unpowered doors, and is strong enough to break powered ones.
  Hatchet 12 Brute
15 thrown
Hydroponics. Civilian: Botany Botanists use these to chop wood, they also are good at chopping limbs. Easy to conceal, and if you're a Botanist, security probably won't care if you're carrying one. Throwing it at someone deals 15 damage. Bonus points for finishing off an escaping enemy this way, Navajo-style. Works as a ghetto circular saw in surgery.
  Kitchen Knife 10 Brute Kitchen Autolathe. Civilian Useful if you're the Chef, as Security are unlikely to give a single shit if they see you with it. Works as a ghetto scalpel in surgery. Can be hidden in boots.
  Null Rod 18 Brute (base) Chapel and on the Chaplain. Civilian: Chaplain Better than a Circular Saw, but there's only one of them, and the Chaplain tends to keep it on him. It can destroy runes and protect against some cult magics. Can be transformed into a variety of religious weapons, with different characteristics.
  Pickaxe 15 Brute Mining Dock and Mining Station. Civilian: Supply Fairly robust, but it's very big, so it can only be stored on the back or belt slot. Miners barely use these anymore in favor of the Kinetic Accelerator, so it's mostly seen on the Gulag. Mining drills and jackhammers all do the same amount of damage as a pickaxe.
  Compact Pickaxe 10 Brute Mining Dock and Mining Station, in miner's equipment closets. Civilian Does less damage, but can fit in a backpack.
  Survival Knife 15 Brute Miner's explorer backpacks, Miner's explorer boots Civilian: Supply Miners spawn with a very robust knife that can fit in their pockets or boots.
  Scalpel 10 Brute Operating Theatre Autolathe. Civilian: Medical/Research Despite being not as good at the saw, this is still quite robust. Best part is you can have it your pocket and if you have access to this (not counting autolathe produced scalpels) security wouldn't care, unless it's covered in blood, of course. But even then they might assume you're just a bad doctor.
  Glass Shard 5 Brute
10 thrown
Anywhere there's glass (read: everywhere). Civilian Extremely easy to obtain, just break a glass/reinforced glass pane or climb a glass table. Works also as a ghetto scalpel. You need gloves to hit stuff with it without cutting yourself, but you can still throw it.
  Screwdriver 5 Brute Most storage rooms and Engineering. Civilian Its robustness doesn't come from the damage, but from its thin, pointed edge. Anyone not wearing glasses can have their eyes stabbed out causing them lose sight. Doesn't make them mute so they'll still scream, or might even fight back before you have a chance to blind them enough.
  Surgical Drill 15 Brute Operating Theatre Autolathe. Civilian: Medical/Research Only found in Surgery. Only used for dental implants, so it'll barely be noticed if it goes missing.
  Toolbox 12 Brute Most storage rooms and Engineering. Civilian Rather common. Althought it deals a moderate amount of damage, it's a bulky item, so you'll have to hold it.
  Welding tool 3 Brute when off
15 Burn when on
Most storage rooms and Engineering. Civilian When switched on, it deals a robust amount of burn damage, but consumes fuel after every hit.
  Syndicate Toolbox 15 brute
18 brute when thrown
Syndicate uplink and the Derelict. Syndicate Worth more for emergency tools than anything. Expect security to come cracking down unless they know you've taken a trip to the derelict.
  Spear 10 brute in Onehand
18 brute when wielded/Twohand
20 brute when Thrown
Made by yourself Civilian A haphazardly-constructed yet still deadly weapon of ancient design. You can attach an explosive to it. If you attach one, Alt-clicking it will allow you to set a war cry when attacking with it.
  Chainsaw 13 Brute when off
21 Brute when on
Made by yourself Civilian You can surgically replace an arm with a chainsaw. Can break an airlock down. Requires both hands to carry unless it's surgically attached.
  Baseball bat 10 Brute Made by yourself after reading the Syndicate Uplink Makeshift Weapons book. Syndicate Knocks back targets on hit.

Actual Melee Weapon

Unlike makeshift melee weapons, these melee weapons are usually more reliable and robust, however most station personal can't get access to them, as well as these weapons being very noticeable.

Icon Item Damage How to Acquire Faction Usage Notes
  Cult Blade 25 Brute Cult magic Cultists Those who aren't Cultists suffer from wielding this blade...MENTALLY. Aside from being very robust, it is Cult exclusive. Expect a wave of batons lasers when Security sees you holding this.
  Brass Spear 15 Brute + 5 Burn on living non servants, 25 Burn on silicons
25 Brute + Stun when thrown
Clockwork Slab Clockwork Cult Possess a small armor penetration. The additional burn damage dealt by this weapon generate vitality used by the Vitality Matrix, will break upon hitting a mob when thrown.
  Brass Battle-Hammer 15 Brute
10 Brute when thrown
Clockwork Slab Clockwork Cult Somewhat ineffective against armor. Will knock back non servants on hit. Will have a similar effects when thrown but blocked by antimagic unlike in melee.
  Brass Longsword 16 Brute
20 Brute when thrown
Clockwork Slab Clockwork Cult Possess a very small armor penetration. On hit will inflict an EMP on the target and will need some time to recharge before being able to do it again.
  Energy Sword 3 Brute Off
30 Brute On
Through a Syndicate Uplink Syndicate/Nanotrasen Despite being very strong in melee combat, its activation is loud, very obvious to those around you, and not viable unless you are a traitor. It also counts as a shield when active! Use a multitool on one to turn on RAINBOW MODE (permanently). TURN IT ON BEFORE YOU USE IT
  Double-bladed Energy Sword 3 Brute Off
34 Brute On
Through a Syndicate Uplink Syndicate/Nanotrasen Has to be held with two hands while on. Four extra damage may not seem much, but it means one less hit to crit an unarmored opponent. When wielded it gives a 100% chance to deflect energy-based shots, like tasers and lasers. Like the energy sword, its activation is very loud. To create this, you must combine two Energy Swords together of any color (hold one in each hand and click the other sword) or receive it in a Syndicate Bundle. You cannot put two holodeck swords together. Use a multitool on one to turn on RAINBOW MODE (permanently). TURN IT ON BEFORE YOU USE IT
  Stun Baton 10 Brute Security Office and Security Officer's backpack. Security Very robust if you know how to use it properly. Only the security force can get these easily.
  Basalt Katana 18 brute + 52 brute on lavaland's fauna Lavaland Unknown 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
File:Telescopic Baton.png Telescopic Baton 10 Brute Heads of Staff's backpacks. Command Like the stunbaton but retractable, need more hits to paralyze people than a standard stun baton but the same capability for bludgeoning. Heads of Staff start their shift with one in their backpack. Be sure to extend it before using!
  Officer's Sabre 15 Brute Captain's locker. Captain A sabre intended for ceremonial uses. Comes with its own sheath. Can block melee attacks and has good armor penetration.
  Combat Knife 20 Brute Can be ordered through Cargo. Security Very robust for its size.

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

Ballistic weapons remain the most popular and numerous variant of firearm in the 26th century. However, Nanotrasen's research in the field of energy weapons means ballistics are a rare sight on-station. As a result, these are often brought in from outside sources, be it Cargo, ruins, or the Syndicate.

Automatic

An automatic weapon is defined by its ability to self-load upon each trigger pull, allowing users to continue firing rounds so long as the weapon's clip or magazine is loaded. As a result, they are the most capable weapons of continuous fire, especially when considering their fast, on-field reload times relative to energy weapons. Some automatics permit tactical reloads, which allow a user to instantly swap an in-hand magazine with the magazine currently in the weapon. In addition, automatics are likely to have a burst fire mode, which will discharge multiple shots per trigger pull. A fully empty automatic will require the user to rack the slide once a new magazine has been inserted before they are ready to fire. The slide can be racked by interacting with the firearm in hand, while magazine ejection requires the automatic to be clicked with an open hand. In order to insert a new one, have a magazine in hand, then click on the automatic.

Revolver

Revolvers use an internal cylinder as a magazine. As a result, their ammo can be topped off at any point by using individual rounds or a speed loader. By using ALT+CLICK on a revolver, you can spin the cylinder, which will randomize the set position of the cylinder. Overall, they still remain popular due to their ease of use. Interacting with one in hand will dump the internal cylinder.

MetaStation, or certain bars Civilian, Space Russians A Russian-made revolver. It has a single slot in its chamber for a bullet, as it's meant for playing Russian Roulette! You can spin the chamber to randomize the position of the bullet, and must do so before every shot.

Shotgun

Shotguns use a variety of 12 Gauge shells for their ammunition, which all discharge differing projectile spreads and projectile types. This permits them some of the greatest utility and versatility compared to other ballistic classes. They are also the most commonly found ballistic firearm on station. Shells are loaded into shotguns individually, automatically ejecting any spent shells they replace. You can still interact with a shotgun in hand to either unload the barrel(s), rack the pump, or rack the slide.

Icon Item Ammo Capacity How to Acquire Faction Usage Notes
File:Improvised shotgun.png Improvised Shotgun  
12 Gauge shells
1 Shell Crafted. Civilian A handcrafted shotgun made of scavenged materials.

Has a chance to jam when fired. The shell will not be spent, but you will need to unload and reload the weapon.

    Double-Barrelled Shotgun  
12 Gauge shells
2 Shells Bartender's locker Civilian Easiest shotgun to get, yet the rarest. Only one starts on the station and the Bartender likes to keep it in case of bar fights. Can be sawn off with a circular saw (make sure it's not loaded). A sawn-off shotgun will fit in your backpack or on your belt, though it will lose some accuracy.
    Riot Shotgun  
12 Gauge shells
6+1 Shells The Armory or Cargo Security An uncommon shotgun, typically only used in emergencies by Security. Because of its high capacity, convenience in being able to be worn on security exosuits, and the fact that a handful spawn in the Armory roundstart, this tends to be the most common shotgun on-station. Can be sawn off with a circular saw (make sure it's not loaded). A sawn-off shotgun will fit in your backpack or on your belt, though it will lose some accuracy.

As a pump-action shotgun, you will need to manually rack the pump after each shot or when reloading the shotgun from a fully empty state.

  Tactical Breaching Shotgun  
Breaching Slugs
3+1 Shells The Armory Security A tool, rather than a weapon. Each breaching slug deals 10 Brute damage but deals massive damage to doors and windows. One is enough to shatter a window, while three will breach an airlock. As they're normal-sized, they can conveniently be carried in your backpack when the situation demands it. This shotgun can only load breaching slugs, and breaching slugs can only be loaded into this weapon.

It will automatically pump after each shot, much like the Combat Shotgun.

  Combat Shotgun  
12 Gauge Shells
6+1 Shells Ordered from Cargo. Nanotrasen A black shotgun that can be ordered from Cargo that is filled with lethal buckshot by default. While heavier and unable to be worn on security exosuits, the Combat Shotgun will automatically pump after each shot, meaning its rate of fire is slightly higher than the riot shotgun's.
  Compact Combat Shotgun  
12 Gauge Shells
4+1 Shells Found in the Warden's locker. Nanotrasen A miniaturized version of the Combat Shotgun for wardens. Its convenient size allows it to be stowed onto standard security exosuits. Ideal for defending the Armory.
  Bulldog  
12 Gauge shells
8+1 Shells Only available to Nuclear Operative for 8 TC Syndicate A powerful automatic shotgun that utilizes a drum magazine, meaning it cannot load shells individually. The ammo that is purchasable for the Bulldog tends to be more powerful than standard 12 Gauge variants.

Shotgun Shells

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

  •  Buckshot: Shoots 6 pellets dealing 11 brute damage each. Extremely lethal at close range.
  • File:Hollow point shell.pngHollow-Point Buckshot: Shoots 6 pellets dealing 25 brute damage each but ineffective against armor. Only obtainable as a Nuclear Operative.
  •  Flechette: Shoots 6 pellets with less spread than regular buckshot dealing 15 brute damage each and penetrating armor. Only obtainable as a Nuclear Operative.
  •   Rubber Shot: Shoots 6 pellets dealing 3 brute and 13 stamina damage each. Better if you want the target alive. Riot shotguns are loaded with this by default.
  •   Beanbag: Shoots one single beanbag, dealing 5 brute and 55 stamina damage. The bartender uses these by default.
  •   Standard Slug: Shoots a single projectile that does 46 brute damage on impact.
  •   Syndicate Slug: Shoots a single projectile that does 60 brute damage on impact. Only obtainable as a Nuclear Operative.
  •   Incendiary Slug: Shoots a single projectile that leaves a fire trail and ignites the target, on top of 20 brute damage.
  •   Shotgun Dart: A single dart that can contain up to 30 units of chemicals that'll be injected on hit.
  •  Clownshot: Shoots 20 pellets doing no damage and makes a honking noise.
  •   Technological Shells: Unloaded technological shells can be made in a Protolathe. See here for the recipes.
    •   Pulse Slug: Works like one of the deathsquad's pulse rifle shots, dealing 40 burn damage and damaging or destroying walls and machinery.
    •   Dragonsbreath: Like the incendiary slug, but shoots a spread of 4 burning pellets. Deals less direct damage.
    •   Ion Scatter: Shoots a spread of 4 ion bolts, each of which ions a 3x3 area.
    •   Laser buckshot: Shoots 5 lasers dealing 10 burn each.
    •   Cryoshot: Shoots 4 pellets lowering the body temperature of the target on impact.
    •   Thundershot: Shoots 3 pellets creating lightning on impact.
    •   Depleted Uranium Slug: Shoots one ultra penetrative projectile dealing 30 brute but bypassing almost all armor and going through mobs.

Bolt Action

Bolt-action firearms are characterized by their bolt cycling mechanism. The bolt must be drawn back to permit access to the internal magazine for reloading, and it must also be cycled in order to eject a spent round to permit another bullet to be chambered. Because this process is clunky and time-costly relative to a self-loading firearm, bolt-actions are seen as antique, dated weapons.

Icon Item Ammo Capacity Damage & Effects How to Acquire Faction Usage Notes
  Mosin Nagant  
7.62mm
5 Rounds 60 brute Ordered from Cargo. Space Russians Compensates its low firing rate by being extremely powerful. Can be sawed off to fit in backpacks, incurring a massive loss of accuracy.

Bow

Bows, despite being mostly outdated, are most often used in sporting activities. Regardless, individuals on station are able to craft them if they desire a ranged option. Shooting a bow require the user to load an arrow manually, then drawing the bow before it's able to fire. The individual loading and drawing of each arrow means their rate of fire is slow, but each arrow has a chance to embed in its target, which will cause bleeding and additional damage unless dealt with. If an arrow does not embed, it often falls on the ground in front of the hit target. Some arrows have a chance to break on impact, which will prevent embedment or retrieval. Interacting with the bow while an arrow is drawn will cancel the shot and return the arrow to an open hand, if available.

  Pipe Bow  
Arrow
1 second Made by yourself. Civilian A bow made using harder-to-obtain materials. It's of a higher quality than the makeshift bow, possessing less spread in addition to its faster draw time.

Arrows

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

  •  Wooden Arrow: A basic arrow dealing 20 brute damage. Has a small chance to break and a respectable embed chance.
  •  Ashen Arrow: A fire-reinforced arrow dealing 25 brute damage. Can't shatter on impact and has a low embed chance.
  •  Bone Tipped Arrow: A well-crafted arrow dealing 30 brute damage with moderate armor penetration. Can't shatter on impact and has an okay embed chance.
  •  Bone Arrow: A cheap arrow dealing 15 brute damage and an extra 35 damage against fauna. Has a small chance to break and an okay embed chance.
  •  Chitin Tipped Arrow: A high quality arrow dealing 25 brute damage and an extra 40 damage against fauna with very good armor penetration. Can't shatter on impact and has a respectable embed chance.
  •  Bamboo Arrow: A brittle arrow dealing 10 brute damage with a high chance to embed. Very likely to shatter on impact.
  •  Bronze Arrow: A forged arrow dealing 25 brute damage with minor armor penetration. Has a small chance to break and an okay embed chance.
  •  Glass Arrow: A makeshift arrow dealing 15 brute damage. Likely to shatter on impact and an okay embed chance. Easiest arrow to make using on station materials.
  •  Plasma Glass Arrow: A robust arrow dealing 18 brute damage with legendary armor penetration. Can't shatter on impact and has a respectable embed chance. A direct upgrade of the glass arrow.

Arrow Modifications

These arrows can be crafted from any existing arrow, inheriting half of their damage, embed chance, and armor penetration.

  •  Fire Arrow: Upon impact, will deal an additional 8 burn damage and set the target ablaze, assuming the target is a carbon. Requires Makeshift Crafting from the Syndicate in order to make, or tribal knowledge.
  •  Bola Arrow: Upon impact, will deal the arrow's modified damage as well as applying a bola effect, cuffing the target's legs. Requires Makeshift Crafting from the Syndicate in order to make, or tribal knowledge.

Energy

Energy weapons are among the most common kind of weapon you'll find on a Nanotrasen space station. Reliable but has issues with ammo. Energy projectiles are able to pass through grilles and windows.

Gun

Energy guns can all be recharged with the  rechargers found commonly on station, EMP will completely drain their battery.

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.

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).

Three kinds of stuns

Humans can get stunned in three different ways. The most common one is 'Weaken'. It causes you to fall and makes you unable to do anything except talking. 'Stun' is all the same, except you don't fall down. Paralysis knocks you out completely, you can't even talk or hear what's happening.

You can also be sleeping, which is the same as paralysis, but caused and treated by different things.

Icon Item Type of Stun How to Acquire Notes
  Stun Baton 70 stamina damage Security Not being security and having this out is likely to land you in the brig.
  Stunprod 45 stamina damage 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:Telescopic Baton.png Telescopic Baton 60 stamina damage Be a Head of Staff Not being a head of staff and having one of these is yet another way to incur security's ire.
  Flash Stun
Duration 5
Security, Bridge, Sec Checkpoint, Tech Storage Cyborgs are vulnerable to this method of stunning. Eye protection, such as sunglasses or welding helmets prevents you from being stunned this way.
  Disarm Intent Disarm Have arms Shoving someone while they're next to something solid will cause them to drop anything in their active hand, and shoving someone twice in quick succession will cause them to drop any guns in their active hand. Shoving someone who is next to someone else will knock both people down for one second.
  Chemicals Depends on chemical Chemistry Typically used with a syringe gun, Hypospray, or Smoke Grenade. Some chemicals, like Chloral Hydrate, or Morphine, can hold targets still for some time, while others can be very harmful.
  Flashbang Weaken + Stun
Duration varies with distance. Max 10
Security Very good for stunning a whole room. Not wearing ear protection will make you deaf for awhile. Wearing both sunglasses and a bowman headset makes you immune to these.
  Laser Pointer Blinds humans and cyborgs, deactivate cyborg's equipment
Duration 5-10
Lawyer, Librarian, Research Director Has a chance of blinding people and cyborgs, like a Flash; a fully upgraded laser pointer has a 100% chance.
  Disabler 25 stamina damage Security 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.

Consume less energy than lethal lasers.

  Resonant Shriek Weaken
Duration 5-10
Being a changeling Only weakens cyborgs. Humans become deaf and confused.
  Stun Spell Weaken + Stun
Duration 10
Being a cultist and making one. Works on cyborgs. Blocked by null rod and mindshields. Also mutes victims for a duration of 6.
  Beepsky Weaken + Stun
Duration 5
Made in robotics. Attacks those set to arrest, and, depending on the mode, with weapons out without permission.
  ED-209 Weaken + Stun
Duration 5
Made in robotics. Attacks those set to arrest, and, depending on the mode, with weapons out without permission.
Icon Counter Type of Stun How to Acquire Notes
  Hulk Any 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.
  Eye protection Flashes Cargo and Engineering for welding helmets, Security for sunglasses. Doesn't do anything with the stun itself; rather, it protects you from flashing

Damage Prevention

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

Icon Item How to acquire Protection Notes
  Riot Shield Armory Blocks melee and projectile attacks. Riot shields have 75 health, and will eventually shatter if hit by enough.
  Energy Combat Shield Nuke ops Blocks energy projectiles Works just like a riot shield, except with a 100% chance to deflect all lasers and energy shots, making it very robust. Can also be turned off to fit in your pocket.
  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.
  Energy Sword Syndicate Uplinks Blocks projectiles and melee attacks Needs to be turned on to work. Counts as a shield just like the riot shield.

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 softens the blow!" when your armor reduces damage. 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 reduce all melee damage to the chest by 50%.

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

bullet = 50
laser = 50
energy = 25
bomb = 50
bio = 100
rad = 50
The Captain will sometimes 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.
  Captain's Carapace Captain's Quarters Offers moderate protection from most sources. melee = 50
bullet = 40
laser = 50
energy = 10
bomb = 25
A special armor vest unique to the Captain. Offers far greater protection than most armor, and also displays your authority to the crew.
  Engineering Hardsuit Engineering Gives low protection from melee attacks and explosions. melee = 10
bullet = 5
laser = 10
energy = 5
bomb = 10
bio = 100

bullet = 5
laser = 10
energy = 5
bomb = 10
bio = 100
See here for information on the different styles.

bullet = 5
laser = 10
energy = 5
bomb = 50
bio = 100
rad = 50
See here for information on the different styles.
  CE Hardsuit Chief Engineer Gives good protection from melee attacks, complete Radiation protection and complete protection against Fire. melee = 40

energy = 5
bomb = 50
bio = 100
rad = 100
See here for information on the different styles.

bullet = 5
laser = 10
energy = 5
bomb = 10
bio = 100
rad = 50
See here for information on the different styles.
  RD Hardsuit Research Director More accurately described as a space proof bomb suit. One of the only Hardsuits to provide 100% bomb protection, the helmet also has a diagnostic HUD built in. melee = 30
bullet = 5
laser = 10
energy = 5
bomb = 100
bio = 100

bullet = 30
laser = 30
energy = 10
bomb = 25
bio = 100
rad = 50
Offer more protection than the standard Security Hardsuit. Still not as good as the Captain's spacesuit.
  Gem-encrusted hardsuit Wizard or Summon magic Offers good protection overall and counts as a robe for spellcasting. Protective against fire and totally acidproof to boot! melee = 40
bullet = 40
laser = 40
energy = 20
bomb = 35
bio = 100
rad = 50
See here for information on the magical arts.
  Ablative Armor Vest Armory Gives excellent protection against Laser and Energy attacks and can even deflect them. melee = 10
bullet = 10
laser = 60
energy = 50
It will sometimes deflect energy projectiles, which includes disabler shots! It's also a traitor objective. Expect to receive a harsh sentence from security if caught with this.
  Bulletproof Vest Armory Makes the wearer very resilient to bullets at the cost of being poor defense against other weapons. melee = 15
bullet = 60
laser = 10
energy = 10
bomb = 40
Very useful against gangsters and nuke ops. The helmet only provides half of the protection of the vest sadly.
  Body Armor HoP, Security Protects moderately against melee and lasers, which are common things to be harmed by. melee = 30
bullet = 30
laser = 30
energy = 10
bomb = 25
The standard armor found on security mooks. Also sometimes found on Ian.
  Durathread Vest Crafted from Durathread and leather. Protects moderately against melee and lasers, as well as fire and acid. However, worse against energy, bullets, and bombs. melee = 20
bullet = 10
laser = 30
energy = 5
bomb = 15
fire = 40
acid = 50
For non-Security, it's better than nothing.
  Riot Suit Armory This, combined with the riot shield, will make you be the nightmare of fire extinguisher -wielding assistants everywhere. Gives complete protection to the entire body. melee = 50
bullet = 10
laser = 10
energy = 10
It's very resistant to melee attacks, BUT it's less protective against lasers than standard armor.
  Armored Coat 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. melee = 30
bullet = 30
laser = 30
energy = 10
bomb = 25
Wear this as your rightful trophy if you manage to outrobust him.
  Deathsquad Armor Death Squad Extremely robust armor found only on Deathsquad Officers. Offers strong protection against all damage sources to the entire body, in addition to being spaceworthy. Moderate slowdown. melee = 80
bullet = 80
laser = 50
energy = 50
bomb = 100
bio = 100
rad = 100
If you see someone wearing this, it's a good idea to run.
  Bomb Suit Toxins Lab, Armory Protects you from bombs. Even if a bomb manages to kill you, your body will not be gibbed and you can be cloned. melee = 40
laser = 20
energy = 10
bomb = 100
A suit designed for safety when handling explosives.
  ERT Hardsuits Emergency Response Team, Lavaland Offers very robust protection from all damage sources, with zero slowdown. melee = 65
bullet = 50
laser = 50
energy = 50
bomb = 50
bio = 100
rad = 100
fire = 80
acid = 80
Resistant to plasmafire.
  Security Officer's Jumpsuit Security Office 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. melee = 10 The kicker? It goes in your jumpsuit slot, and when worn underneath armor will stack their defenses additively.
  Durathread Jumpsuit Crafted from Durathread Provides a small amount of melee protection and moderate laser and fire protection. melee = 10
laser = 10
fire = 40
acid = 10
bomb = 5
Like the Security Officer's, the Durathread jumpsuit is also worn in the jumpsuit slot and will also stack defenses with other armor.

Icon Item How to acquire Protection Defense values % Notes
  Helmet Security Office Standard head gear for security mooks. Keeps your head safe. melee = 35
bullet = 30
laser = 30
energy = 10

Brave officers may opt to wear the security beret or hat instead. The warden's hat offers the same protection as this.
  Durathread Helmet Crafted from Durathread and leather. melee = 25
bullet = 10
laser = 20
energy = 10
bomb = 30
bio = 15
rad = 20

  Riot Helmet Armory Provides excellent melee protection, but lacks in other areas. melee = 45
bullet = 15
laser = 5
energy = 5
bomb = 5
bio = 2
Useful during revolutions, and other situations where you might be swarmed with melee weapons.
  Deathsquad Helmet Death squad A strong helmet that provides reduction against most damage types. Spaceworthy. melee = 80
bullet = 80
laser = 50
energy = 50
bomb = 100
bio = 100

Underwhelming compared to the deathsquad body armor

bullet = 30
laser = 25
