===Makeshift Weapons===

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

===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.

==Sidearms(Ballistic)==

Ballistic weapons remain a popular weapon in the 26th century, typically however Nanotrasen prefer the usage of Energy weapons over Ballistic weapons, so don't expect to see many ballistic weapons on station.

Energy weapons are among the most common kind of weapon you'll find on a Nanotrasen space station. Reliable but has issues with ammo.

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 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===

![[File:Telescopic_Baton.png|64px]]

!{{anchor|Telescopic Baton}}Telescopic Baton

|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.

![[File:Disarm.png|64px]]

!{{anchor|Disarm Intent}}[[Intent|Disarm Intent]]

|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. Very brief.

|-

![[File:Laser Pointer.png|64px]]

!{{anchor|Laser Pointer}}[[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.

!{{anchor|Stun Talisman}}[[Cult magic|Stun Talisman]]

|Weaken + Stun<br>Duration 10 + 15 duration silence

|Works on cyborgs. Blocked by null rod.

|-

![[File:Beepsky.png|64px]]

!{{anchor|Beepsky}}Beepsky

|Made in robotics.

|Attacks those set to arrest, and, depending on the mode, with weapons out without permission.

![[Hulk]]

|Any

|Hulks don't get stunned and don't fall ever. Even space lube doesn't make them fall, though they do slip.

|-

![[File:SGlasses.png|64px]]

|Flashes

|[[Cargo]] and [[Engineering]] for welding helmets, [[Security]] for sunglasses.

|Doesn't do anything with the stun itself; rather, it protects you from flashing

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

![[File:Reactivearmor.png|64px]]

|[[Atmospherics]]

|Identical to normal RIG however it is one of the only items that grants complete protection from Fire at the cost of no Radiation protection.

|See [[Space_suit|here]] for information on the different styles.

|-

|[[Mining]]

|Gives quite good protection from melee attacks and explosions. Can be upgraded with goliath hide plates to a maximum of 60 melee defense. Essentially becoming a spaceworthy riot suit. The helmet must be upgraded independently of the suit.

|See [[Space_suit|here]] for information on the different styles.

|Gives slightly increased protection against all damage sources.

|-

![[File:Durathreadvest.png|64px]]

|Crafted from [[Guide to Construction#Durathread|Durathread]] and leather.

|Protects moderately against melee and lasers, as well as fire and acid. However, worse against energy, bullets, and bombs.

|For non-Security, it's better than nothing.

|-

|[[Emergency Response Team]], Lavaland

|Offers very robust protection from all damage sources, with zero slowdown.

|Resistant to plasmafire.
