  |description = It's a gun. Click on someone and you shoot at them. Does sixty brute damage per shot on an unarmoured target, considerably less on an armoured one. If you're out of bullets, you'll just hit them with your gun, which does a smashing three brute damage. Better to use a toolbox. Careful, the revolver's pretty loud and nearby people will hear it. Also, keep in mind there's only 7 shots.
  |description = It's a gun. Click on someone and you shoot at them. Does 60 brute damage per shot on an unarmoured target, considerably less on an armoured one. It's a very reliable weapon for a quick and bloody murder, as most people cannot react in time before being shot twice. Keep in mind that it makes a very loud and distinct noise. This gun comes loaded with 7 rounds, more can be bought from your uplink or created with a hacked autolathe.

  |usedfor = Tickling people

  |strategy = No one sees any messages of who fired at who, but the target knows when they are shot. Use this weapon very carefully and covertly, but remember it is also very good when in a pitch because every hit is a knockdown.
  |description = When this weapon is used on a person, the victim is dealt toxin damage and falls down briefly. While it is a useful weapon, it is another one of those weapons that once the [[Security]] forces find you with one on you, they'll beat you to death with their off stun batons. This item produces no in-game messages, which means that nobody will see anything in the chat (including the "put in backpack" message), but the dart can be seen sometimes (depending on lag), and the sound, even though not loud, can easily be heard if you pay attention. This weapon automatically recharges over time, which means unlike a revolver it won't run out of ammo. It is completely useless against borgs, since these are immune to both toxins damage and stuns. Also, it fits in your pocket.
  |description = This weapon is not meant for killing, rather it is intended for stunning; it is the syndicate equivalent of a taser which also recharges over time and does minor toxins damage. Though this weapon does make a sound when fired, it is still very quiet, and can be easily concealed in your pocket. Additionally this weapon does not provide any message that it has been fired, use this to your advantage and to help conceal your identity. Extremely powerful when paired with an energy sword, as it cannot reliably kill anything by itself.

  |usedfor = The killing of people.

  |strategy = This sword will usually kill someone in just two or three hits. It leaves a bloody mess though. When on it has a chance to deflect projectiles.  Needs to be turned on before use, can fit in a pocket if shut off.
  |strategy = This sword will usually crit someone in four hits (more if the target is armored). It leaves a bloody mess though. When it is on it has a chance to deflect projectiles.  Needs to be turned on before use, can fit in a pocket if shut off.
  |description = This is a melee weapon that can do a lot of brute damage. It also has a high chance to knock someone down, or outright uncouncious. It has two states, on and off. When it's off, you can fit it into your pocket, but it's not a very effective weapon. Activate it to switch between the two states, but be warned, turning it on or off causes a very loud and distinguishable noise. It also is a very good combo combined with the [[Mini Energy Crossbow|e-bow]]'s knockdown, when cornered. You can create a double e-sword by taking one e-sword and clicking it on to another. Bonus points if you order two and pretend you're a Sith Lord.

When it's off, you can fit it into your pocket, but it's a terrible weapon. Activate it to switch between the two states, but be warned, turning it on or off causes a very loud and distinct noise. It also is a very good combo combined with the [[Mini Energy Crossbow|e-bow]]'s knockdown. You have a decent chance of reflecting projectiles with it when turned on. You can also combine it with another energy sword to create a far superior weapon.

  |strategy = ???
  |strategy = SUPER mass murder, making security and all their stunning and lasers completely irrelevant.
  |description = ???
  |description = The double energy sword is an immensely powerful weapon, capable of sending unarmored victims into critical in just 3 hits (and likely stunning them or knocking them unconscious long before that). Like the energy sword before it, it must be turned on to be used properly, and can still be stored in your pocket when turned off. The main reason why this weapon is so powerful compared to its predecessor is because it will reflect all energy and laser bolts sent at it back at the person who shot at you, guaranteed. This makes security completely and totally useless at range, and makes them easy kills if they get hit by their own taser shots. This sword is not unstoppable, however. It is unable to block bullets such as those from the detective's revolver, and does not protect you from melee attacks. This means security and the crew will gladly switch to stun batons and disarm intent to try and stop you.

  |strategy = Cook the grenade in your hand (at most for no more than two seconds) for a bit and throw it at someone when they least expect it. Use it on crowds or downed targets.
  |description = The Minibomb is a grenade with a five-second fuse. It will cause a small explosion, but that explosion will still create holes to space. It can usually outright kill or even gib an unarmored target. Those wearing armor may survive.

  |description = This is ammo for the [[Syndicate Items#revolver|revolver]]. It gives the revolver seven more shots. It can be used by clicking on an empty revolver while you hold the ammo in your active hand. This can be made and recycled in a hacked autolathe for 50K metal(which is interestingly enough the same cost as an RCD).

It can be used by clicking on an empty revolver while you hold the ammo in your active hand. This can be made and recycled in a hacked autolathe for 50,000 metal units, and it is usually always a better idea to gain access to that over ordering these if it is an option.

  |description = This is a very devious little item. It looks like a pen and works only once. The pen injects [[Guide to chemistry#Mutetoxin|mutetoxin]] and [[Guide to chemistry#Sleeptoxin|sleeptoxin]] into people, making them appear dead on all medical scanners, and disallowing them to move or talk. They can still see and hear everything around them, and will occasionally drool. The victim will survive if the attacker doesn't finish the job properly, and a dead body may not be easy to get rid of some times. Not available in [[Syndicate guide|nuke ops]].

  |strategy = Use this to hurt your target from afar, or wait until you can see them, detonate their PDA, and quickly kill them! Be careful, as it can backfire!
  |description = A cartridge for your [[PDA]]. When inserted, it will allow you to use the missile program to attempt to remotely detonate other people's [[PDA]]s in a kind of weak explosion (Still powerful enough to knockout people and gib corpses, though). Your target [[PDA]] will need the messenger function turned on in order to attempt this, and you need to scan for other [[PDA]]s, then import the list. In addition, there is a chance the cartridge will not work -- for instance on other syndicate PDAs -- or will feedback and blow up your own [[PDA]]. Despite this it is a decent way of sowing panic aboard the station, or softening up a target for an assassination attempt. Comes with 4 charges. It also has a bomb program that when ran causes the [[PDA]] to self destruct. Useful against gullible targets, or turning [[PDA]]s into hand grenades. For syndicates, this cartridge has the blast door toggled function for the [[Syndicate guide|syndicate shuttle]] as well, allowing you to open the door when the person with the military [[PDA]] has died horribly.

  |usedfor = Making your jumpsuit look a different color
  |strategy = Very useful for [[Syndicate guide|Nuke Agents]] who want to try a stealthy approach. You can also use it to look like security at a glance or to make people run right by you in a chase (changing your color to something else when they don't see)
  |strategy = Very useful for [[Syndicate guide|Nuke Agents]] who want to try a stealthy approach by disguising as a bunch of assistants.
  |description = This is a fashion model's dream. You can change to any other jumpsuit by right-clicking the jumpsuit itself. If your job is to sabotage the station, then combining this with a voice changer means that you can assume any identity you please and order a [[Chef]] to kidnap someone and put them in the gibber. Note that you have to activate it through a right click option before you can use it. An EMP blast will make this temporarily turn into a psychedelic suit, which is good for parties, but completely awful for stealth.
  |description = This jumpsuit's color can be changed into any other by using it. Unfortunately due to almost every job on the station also having matching shoes, backpacks, and exosuit slots it's actually pretty much completely useless outside of the assistant job. If hit by an EMP it will temporarily turn into a psychedelic jumpsuit which makes you very obvious to everyone around you.

  |description = A stamp that can be activated to imitate an official Nanotrasen Stamp™. The disguised stamp will work exactly like the real stamp and will allow you to forge false documents to gain access or equipment; it can also be used in a washing machine to forge clothing.

  |description = This is a fun item. It's a gasmask that makes you sound like other people. And it still works as a gasmask! All you have to do with it is turn it on (by clicking) and wear it. It will make you sound like whoever's ID you're wearing. If you're wearing John's ID, you sound like him! You sound like that person when you talk normally and they also work over radio/intercoms! It isn't very helpful to geneticists, though, since they can steal a person's appearance anyway. Also note that if you wear it while working a job that usually wouldn't wear gasmasks, such as MDs or the bartender, you will attract suspicion.
  |description = It's a gasmask that changes your voice to whatever ID you are currently wearing, and also works like any gas mask too. You must use it to turn this ability on, or it won't do anything. Extremely useful when you have multiple IDs and want to reply to the crew and sow lies and confusion. Having a high-access headset, such as the HoS's or captain's, will let you make these orders and lies even more convincing. Can effectively allow you to impersonate almost anyone. It is however noticeable if you are wearing this and trying to impersonate a job which does not normally wear a gas mask, such as medical or most service jobs.

  |description = Allows you to scan any item that can be picked up and then disguise yourself as that item. While disguised you move at walk speed and cannot interact with anything you're not already holding, and if someone tries to pick you up or runs into you the disguise fails and you change back to normal. Incredibly useful, and a lot of fun, if you use it correctly. You cannot be detected by the AI, or by people using thermal optics, even people with x-ray vision cannot see through your cloak.

Incredibly useful, and a lot of fun, if you use it correctly. You cannot be detected by the AI when it is active. Currently an extremely powerful item as in order to shoot and actually hit you, security must click on the item you disguised as, not the tile you're on or past that. This makes disguising as a cigarette butt very useful for making them waste all their shots.


Alas, scanning a completed robot suit will only disguise you as a metal frame, so you can't impersonate a cyborg.
