Despite popular opinion, the admins are not just here to ban people and press buttons. They're here to help make the round interesting – just like you! Therefore, if you want to do a gimmick that you cannot pull off with the tools available, feel free to ask the admins if you can buy something using leftover TC. Some ideas: CentCom announcements, identity changes, surgery tools, and building materials. Another thing – if your objectives are boring, easy, or you've already completed them, you can ask for more. It's a good alternative to simply killing everything in sight if you can't think of something to do.

*Having a spare ID always helps. Assistants are a dime a dozen, so it's not a bad idea to pin one on your shirt before you go about any dirty business so your real identity is not compromised. Throw some acid on your face and acquire a voice changer from your uplink, and no one will ever be able to discover who you are! That is, unless they take your DNA or fingerprint. If you don't have that, then just wear a mask and run around as Unknown, using your ID to access the doors that you need. Knowing the access each job has makes certain IDs more valuable than others.

*There's an ID console near arrivals. If you get all-access, you can use this to make extra IDs to stash somewhere for when [[Security]] inevitably take your original ID.

*An agent card, which can be used to make you untraceable by the AI, can also scan other IDs to copy their access, producing no special message for spectators: you can do it pretty much anywhere in full view of everyone. Have fun standing in the HoP's line by queuing up behind someone with large amounts of access and copying that access while the ID is placed on the table. As scanning two cards with an agent card gives the agent card the permissions of both, you can create a ghetto Captain's ID with a few low level IDs.

*If you're looking to hijack a shuttle and have spare space in your inventory, the fastest way to lock people out long enough to emag it without warning is to drop two reinforced tables in one airlock passage just before it docks after bolt-nolight-emagging the other airlock passage(s). Results may vary in places with more than 2-3 doors.

'''Bomb and IED tips'''

*You can make an improvised explosive (IED) with basic materials (a soft drink can, igniter, a welding fuel tank, and some cable coil). It can gib dead people if exploded on their body, and the explosion doesn't expose blown tiles to space. It also destroys dead borg's bodies so you can get the MMI.
</ul>
*One very important note about IED's blast radius is that it can destroy an APC one tile away.
<div style="clear:both"></div>
*You can use an IED on a reinforced wall to skip most of the disassembling steps.
 
*You only need maint access to make single tank bombs. Get a large air tank, any igniter assembly, a wrench and a welder. Remove the air in the air tank with an air pump, then add some plasma and oxygen from the incinerator room (may need some pipe re-wrenching depending on the map), add a hot gas, then attach the igniter assembly and weld a hole in the bomb.
<div class="mw-customtoggle-myList3"><div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.6;">Bomb and IED tips</div><div style="line-height:1.6;color:darkblue">[Toggle List]</div></div>
*You can destroy canisters by attacking them. Using a welder also lights the plasma from canisters on fire after it escapes. Very useful for traitoring. It's stupidly easy to escape alone just by releasing some plasma at escape a few minutes before the shuttle arrives. Fire will destroy canisters the same way but, instead of releasing plasma, it'll explode like a small bomb. So if you're trying to make an inferno, let the canister empty ''then'' light it, so you don't put your own fire out with vacuum.
<ul class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-myList3">
*Having a bomb in your backpack and setting it off while in a sleeper will blow up everything and the sleeper, but leave you perfectly unharmed.

*Reverse pickpocketing doesn't produce a message for people you try it on (unless it fails). You can reverse pickpocket mini-bombs onto people. You can start the timer on the mini-bomb after you start shoving it into their pockets.
<li>One very important note about IED's blast radius is that it can destroy an APC one tile away.</li>
You can change the timer on C4 to be extremely high, it tops out at 60000 seconds (16.7 hours). Scare the ba-jesus out of someone by planting irremovable C4 that will probably never detonate, or hang a live explosive on your wall for a stylish conversation piece.

*Light switches can be used to sabotage a room if you inject plasma into the light bulbs. Also works if there is a power outage.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="float:left;">
<li>If you inject a good power cell with plasma, it'll explode and create a hole in space when it is used for anything.</li>
*You can force the AI to call the shuttle by throwing an EMP grenade near it's core, which has a 15% chance to force a shuttle call. Or, if your objectives allow for it, release the tesla which usually makes a bee-line for the AI (if you haven't given it prior prompting via a beacon).
<li>If so dip a cigar in plasma, the person who lights it will be gibbed (normal cigs won't do as much damage).</li>
*EMPing a cloning pod turns the clone into a slurry of blood and meat chunks. Useful if you've got access to ground iron and uranium and ''really'' need the guy getting cloned to not get cloned.
</ul>
*EMPs silence headsets and turns off suit sensors until they are manually turned back on.
<div style="clear:both"></div>
*EMPs knock out electricity in a wide area and messes up a lot of machinery in a lot of ways (one way being emag effects). It is a very versatile component to combat cyborgs or cybernetic enhancement users, such as Preternis, as it will automatically shut them down in a fight.
 
*You can take out a combat mech with just an axe if you circle it well enough. Since they turn around slowly and must face you to fire, they can't do much. The only issue is getting close enough. If you intend to give someone else a combat mech, stick on a bunch of mech beacons and build yourself an exosuit computer. If they start to rampage, EMP all the beacons and ruin their mech.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="float:left;">

*You can delete your fingerprints from the security records. It's better to re-forge them or swap them with someone else's however.

*Simply changing your hairstyle can be enough to throw security off your trail if they only caught a glimpse of you. Especially if you have hair that really stands out.

*Are you a traitorous sort lucky enough to have HoP-level access? CLOSE THE POSITIONS. An understaffed security team is a poor security team.
*If you ever need a place to hide something while sec is on your tail, make a false wall into a secret spot and put the stuff into that area to get later when the heat has died down. All you need to worry about is someone with meson goggles finding your weapons or contraband.
*On Boxstation, you can free people from perma without using space by going through the interrogation room and thus emagging the doors holding your kin.
*Pulse rifles can break tables, racks, girders, and pretty much anything else besides airlocks, provided you aim at it with your mouse.
*Fake mustaches conceal your identity just as well as a gas mask.
*No security officer expects freedom implants.
*Every PDA holds a pen by default. Remove it and store your sleepy pen/e-daggers there.
*Latex gloves don't stop you from leaving your fingerprints everywhere. They leave partial prints.
*You can uncuff yourself while in a disposal unit.
*Grenades can be activated from a backpack with mousetraps. Great for when a snobby security officer ask you for a search.
*Store dead bodies on the Toxins Test Site. Nobody will ever find them. Hopefully.
*You can shoot a window with a laser (click the window), rather than through the window. Doing this is faster than almost every other method, comparable in speed to deconstruction.
*Bullets pass through windows, but not grilles. Lasers and disablers pass through windows and grilles. Electrodes are blocked by both windows and grilles.
*Sec Borgs are always stunned by flashes, but the amount of time they're stunned varies.
*Targeting the eyes with a flashlight and attacking someone with it will cause their screen to flash white for a moment. This works on cyborgs as well, and can be used to blind and seriously inconvenience them if you don't have access to a flash.
*The AI cannot examine anything except things it can see in its chamber. It can take pictures of you to see what's in your hand however.
</div>
<br>
'''Chameleon projector tips'''
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="float:left;">
*The chameleon projector can be used to dodge shots, just run with it in your hand and spam it to have bolts go over you.
*A hilariously effective use of the chameleon projector is something slippery, like the clown's PDA or a banana peel. WILD CLOWN MATERIALIZES.
*You can't drag items that have people with cham projectors on, giving you a way to check an item without immediately sending the cloaker into a panic.
*Floorbots won't try to collect people disguised as floor tiles or metal.
*Pretending to be an item in space gives you perfect movement, but you'll still die of exposure if you're not prepared.
*If you ghost, your catatonic body will remain cloaked.
*You can cloak as things in the holodeck and use them elsewhere on the station, no one ever suspects the beachball.
*You can wrench apart a table or rack and rebuild it under you and disguise for a more convincing ploy.
*Cloaked people are immune to the mass driver.
*Hiding as an item in a doorway will let the door close harmlessly on you, giving total concealment.
*Buy an uplink implant. If you get brigged buy a projector and inspire the wild goose chase of the century as you hide there. If sec is being incompetent they'll probably assume there's a cult about due to the lack of evidence of any escape route besides a straight up teleport.
*You can steal flashes from mounted flashers by using wirecutters. This will disable the flasher until a replacement flash is installed. One being located at HoP-Line and Sec checkpoints.
</div>
<br>
'''Other traitor gadgets tips'''
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="float:left;">
*No-Slip shoes are the most cost effective thing you can possibly buy, and probably the most powerful thing you can purchase.
*Energy Swords and circular saws can be used to make sawed-off shotguns. Energy Swords can also cut cakes, pizzas and light cigars.
*The Suspicious Toolbox does fifteen damage instead of ten, making it as strong as a circular saw or a null rod.
*Spraying someone who's smoking a cigarette or cigar with welding fuel or alcohol will set them on fire. The same applies to lit welders. Especially awesome since, unlike other methods for setting someone on fire, spraying does not show in the chatbox and it can be done from quite a few tiles away, or with unexpected items like pepper spray. It works with an active E-sword too, as a poor antag found out.
*Hardsuits can carry a Jetpack in their Suit Slot. This way you can carry it around without anyone seeing, but it still needs to be on your back to work.
*Black gloves are fireproof. That means you can take whatever lights you want without getting burnt. They also half the damage you take from electric shocks.
*When you buy the suspicious fedora for 3 TC, make sure to activate its hidden ability by using your action button or clicking on the sprite. This will change the sprite giving your hat blades and when thrown at someone will now inflict 40 brute damage! If you want your hat to return to its normal look, do the same actions stated above again.
*The Suspicious Cards have sharp edges and can be thrown at people, causing some nasty bleeding. Another perk is that these cards are only classified as contraband and are one of the few items to fully bypass the Syndicate Weapons Law while still being very deadly.
*The Energy Dagger, along with the Suspicious Fedora, both have enough throwing damage to open lockers and break reinforced glass alike! The Energy Dagger also has a 100% chance of embedding into whoever it is thrown at!
*Energy Swords have a chance to deflect projectiles, but only when the user is facing the projectiles initial direction while having the energy sword activated.
*While using the Reverse-Card, it is best not to immediately use the weapon you have gained with it, because the gadget will automatically teleport into the opponent's hand and work the same as it did for you.
</div>
<br>
'''Murder methods tips'''
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="float:left;">
* The entirety of Disposals can easily be routed into space in certain maint areas, and you need only stun and drag people to a disposal bin to instantly kill them. Disposals can be a very potent weapon if used correctly, and there are plenty of other ways. You just need to find them.
*If you grab someone and use them on a open toilet you can drown them via swirly, though it will take creativity. If it is closed, it slams the affected person into the toilet seat.
* Putting a tracking beacon in space makes the hand teleporter an instantly lethal weapon instead of a convenience.
*Lockers do not protect from space and atmosphere. So stun-locker-weld-space is a valid strategy.
* Shoving a corpse into a locker, body bag or buckling to a chair/roller bed then dragging that object about leaves no blood trail.
*Spaced bodies can husk, but it's not terribly quick. Burned bodies husk much better.
*Strapping a man to a chair while throwing floor tiles at him is a surprisingly quick death on his part.
*Shooting syringes of [[Guide to xenobiology|black slime]] juice will turn the person into a slime. Combine this with that one icy reagent or a docility potion and bam, you just murdered someone.
*Suit Storage Units can hold any type of space suit, even hardsuits. You can hide bodies in them and nobody will ever think of checking there. You can even hack them to burn somebody to a crisp.
</div>
<br>
'''Bag and pocket mechanics'''
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="float:left;">
*When you take something from your bag or put something in it, it creates a message that everyone around you gets. How far this message goes depends on the size of your item. If the item can't be placed into a box, then when you put it in your bag it'll show to everyone that can see you. If the item can be placed into a box, then when you put it in your bag it'll only show to people who are directly next to you. This also means that only the people next to you can see what you put into your box, as the box uses the same code as the bag. There are also a few exceptions, like the e-bow, that don't show any message at all.
* You can strip someone's pockets without a message appearing if they don't move during it, otherwise they'll get a message that says their pockets are being touched.
* After gaining a bag of holding from R&D, you can cut it in half with a '''Scalpel''' or '''Circular Saw'''. This allows you both to carry one, effectively making you and whoever has the other half share an inventory, which is very effective for a pair of blood brothers.
</div>
<br>
'''Objective tips'''
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="float:left;">
*Some objectives can be done by just asking crew nicely instead of murdering them all.
*If your objective is to steal the nuke disk, steal the [[pinpointer]] as well. The reason should be self-evident.
*You don't need to steal the blueprints located in the [[Chief Engineer's Office|chief engineer's office]] to complete your objective. You can instead take a picture of it and it will count as successfully stealing it.
*"Steal plasma" is the easiest objective; grab an emergency O2 tank or an air tank, stuff it in a public scrubber until it's empty. Grab 10 sheets of metal, go to incinerator, make a canister, attach the canister to the port, activate the plasma valve, stuff the tank into can, set pressure to max, open, wait, close, remove, win/die because you used it for internals.
*Instead of just cutting the wires for the vault, you can just grab a toolbox, mesh, and one of those budget insulated gloves and break in from the window. However, this is only works on box stations.
*If tasked with stealing the medal of captaincy, you do not necessarily have to take one from the captain. There is an extra one in the captain's room located in the medal box on the table below where his gun case would be.
*The secret documents can be located inside a file cabinet in a vault along with a nuclear core.

<ul class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-myList6">
<li>The chameleon projector can be used to dodge shots, just run with it in your hand and spam it to have bolts go over you.</li>
<li>A hilariously effective use of the chameleon projector is something slippery, like the clown's PDA or a banana peel. WILD CLOWN MATERIALIZES.</li>
<li>You can't drag items that have people with cham projectors on, giving you a way to check an item without immediately sending the cloaker into a panic.</li>
<li>Floorbots won't try to collect people disguised as floor tiles or metal.</li>
<li>Pretending to be an item in space gives you perfect movement, but you'll still die of exposure if you're not prepared.</li>
<li>If you ghost, your catatonic body will remain cloaked.</li>
<li>You can cloak as things in the holodeck and use them elsewhere on the station, no one ever suspects the beachball.</li>
<li>You can wrench apart a table or rack and rebuild it under you and disguise for a more convincing ploy.</li>
<li>Cloaked people are immune to the mass driver.</li>
<li>Hiding as an item in a doorway will let the door close harmlessly on you, giving total concealment.</li>
<li>Buy an uplink implant. If you get brigged buy a projector and inspire the wild goose chase of the century as you hide there. If sec is being incompetent they'll probably assume there's a cult about due to the lack of evidence of any escape route besides a straight up teleport.</li>
<li>You can steal flashes from mounted flashers by using wirecutters. This will disable the flasher until a replacement flash is installed. One being located at HoP-Line and Sec checkpoints.</li>

<ul class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-myList7">
<li>No-Slip shoes are the most cost effective thing you can possibly buy, and probably the most powerful thing you can purchase.</li>
<li>Energy Swords and circular saws can be used to make sawed-off shotguns. Energy Swords can also cut cakes, pizzas and light cigars.</li>
<li>The Suspicious Toolbox does fifteen damage instead of ten, making it as strong as a circular saw or a null rod.</li>
<li>Spraying someone who's smoking a cigarette or cigar with welding fuel or alcohol will set them on fire. The same applies to lit welders. Especially awesome since, unlike other methods for setting someone on fire, spraying does not show in the chatbox and it can be done from quite a few tiles away, or with unexpected items like pepper spray. It works with an active E-sword too, as a poor antag found out.</li>
<li>Hardsuits can carry a Jetpack in their Suit Slot. This way you can carry it around without anyone seeing, but it still needs to be on your back to work.</li>
<li>Black gloves are fireproof. That means you can take whatever lights you want without getting burnt. They also half the damage you take from electric shocks.</li>
<li>When you buy the suspicious fedora for 3 TC, make sure to activate its hidden ability by using your action button or clicking on the sprite. This will change the sprite giving your hat blades and when thrown at someone will now inflict 40 brute damage! If you want your hat to return to its normal look, do the same actions stated above again.</li>
<li>The Suspicious Cards have sharp edges and can be thrown at people, causing some nasty bleeding. Another perk is that these cards are only classified as contraband and are one of the few items to fully bypass the Syndicate Weapons Law while still being very deadly.</li>
<li>The Energy Dagger, along with the Suspicious Fedora, both have enough throwing damage to open lockers and break reinforced glass alike! The Energy Dagger also has a 100% chance of embedding into whoever it is thrown at!</li>
<li>Energy Swords have a chance to deflect projectiles, but only when the user is facing the projectiles initial direction while having the energy sword activated.</li>
<li>While using the Reverse-Card, it is best not to immediately use the weapon you have gained with it, because the gadget will automatically teleport into the opponent's hand and work the same as it did for you.</li>

<ul class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-myList8">
<li>The entirety of Disposals can easily be routed into space in certain maint areas, and you need only stun and drag people to a disposal bin to instantly kill them. Disposals can be a very potent weapon if used correctly, and there are plenty of other ways. You just need to find them.</li>
<li>If you grab someone and use them on a open toilet you can drown them via swirly, though it will take creativity. If it is closed, it slams the affected person into the toilet seat.</li>
<li>Putting a tracking beacon in space makes the hand teleporter an instantly lethal weapon instead of a convenience.</li>
<li>Lockers do not protect from space and atmosphere. So stun-locker-weld-space is a valid strategy.</li>
<li>Shoving a corpse into a locker, body bag or buckling to a chair/roller bed then dragging that object about leaves no blood trail.</li>
<li>Spaced bodies can husk, but it's not terribly quick. Burned bodies husk much better.</li>
<li>Strapping a man to a chair while throwing floor tiles at him is a surprisingly quick death on his part.</li>
<li>Shooting syringes of [[Guide to xenobiology|black slime]] juice will turn the person into a slime. Combine this with that one icy reagent or a docility potion and bam, you just murdered someone.</li>
<li>Suit Storage Units can hold any type of space suit, even hardsuits. You can hide bodies in them and nobody will ever think of checking there. You can even hack them to burn somebody to a crisp.</li>

<ul class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-myList9">
<li>When you take something from your bag or put something in it, it creates a message that everyone around you gets. How far this message goes depends on the size of your item. If the item can't be placed into a box, then when you put it in your bag it'll show to everyone that can see you. If the item can be placed into a box, then when you put it in your bag it'll only show to people who are directly next to you. This also means that only the people next to you can see what you put into your box, as the box uses the same code as the bag. There are also a few exceptions, like the e-bow, that don't show any message at all.</li>
<li>You can strip someone's pockets without a message appearing if they don't move during it, otherwise they'll get a message that says their pockets are being touched.</li>
<li>After gaining a bag of holding from R&D, you can cut it in half with a '''Scalpel''' or '''Circular Saw'''. This allows you both to carry one, effectively making you and whoever has the other half share an inventory, which is very effective for a pair of blood brothers.</li>

<ul class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" id="mw-customcollapsible-myList10">
<li>Some objectives can be done by just asking crew nicely instead of murdering them all.</li>
<li>If your objective is to steal the nuke disk, steal the [[pinpointer]] as well. The reason should be self-evident.</li>
<li>You don't need to steal the blueprints located in the [[Chief Engineer's Office|chief engineer's office]] to complete your objective. You can instead take a picture of it and it will count as successfully stealing it.</li>
<li>"Steal plasma" is the easiest objective; grab an emergency O2 tank or an air tank, stuff it in a public scrubber until it's empty. Grab 10 sheets of metal, go to incinerator, make a canister, attach the canister to the port, activate the plasma valve, stuff the tank into can, set pressure to max, open, wait, close, remove, win/die because you used it for internals.</li>
<li>Instead of just cutting the wires for the vault, you can just grab a toolbox, mesh, and one of those budget insulated gloves and break in from the window. However, this is only works on box stations. </li>
<li>If tasked with stealing the medal of captaincy, you do not necessarily have to take one from the captain. There is an extra one in the captain's room located in the medal box on the table below where his gun case would be.</li>
<li>The secret documents can be located inside a file cabinet in a vault along with a nuclear core.</li>
