	As a ~~crewmember~~, ~~you can use many objects as~~ [[~~Weapons~~]] ~~including ranged weapons~~, ~~melee weapons~~ and ~~even your own fists~~.		{{Stub\|Page}}

			An integral part of the gameplay of space station 14 is it's varied combat. Even outside of player versus player violence, minor skirmishes with hostile fauna are frequent due to perilous circumstances on board.

			A crewmember may face situations wherein non-player controlled hostiles threaten them. For example a [[Salvage Specialist]] may encounter aggressive [[Fauna#Hostile\|space carp]] or an infestation of spiders/rats may occur in the station. Alternatively, perhaps a [[Chef]] is sick of mice eating all their food and decides killing the nuisance rodent is the best option. Most of these scenarios, while maybe resolvable by avoidance or roleplay, are most easily, and most likely to be, resolved by combat.

			Whilst combat is frowned on in most situations and murder of your fellow crew and pets should be a last resort, there are exceptions (for a full explanation see [[Space Law]]).
	An [[Antagonist]] may have an objective to kill certain crewmembers and [[Server Rules\|isn't punished]] if they need to slaughter someone who gets in the way of their objective. However, that does not give leeway for a [[~~Traitor~~]] ~~to go on a killing spree~~.

	A [[~~Security Officer~~]] ~~may encounter resistance in~~ [[~~Syndicate~~]] ~~crewmembers and may~~ need to ~~use force to protect~~ the ~~station~~. ~~Typically non-lethal force is suggested as a first attempt unless the crewmember is exposed as being~~ a [[~~Syndicate~~]].		Frequent exceptions to this are [[Antagonist\|antagonists]] who have an objective to kill certain crew members. There is [[Server Rules\|no punishment]] if they need to slaughter someone who gets in the way of their objective. However, that does not give leeway for a [[Traitor]] to go on a killing spree.

	~~A non-antag crewmember may face situations wherein hostiles threaten them. For example~~ a [[~~Salvage Specialist~~]] may encounter ~~aggressive~~ [[~~Fauna#Hostile\|space carp~~]] ~~or an infestation of spiders/rats~~ may ~~occur in~~ the station. ~~Alternatively~~, ~~perhaps~~ a ~~[[Chef]]~~ is ~~sick of mice eating all their food and kills the nuisance rodent. A Chef can also order [[Cargo Technician\|crates]] of docile animals for slaughter purposes~~.		Inversely a [[Security Officer]] may encounter resistance in [[Syndicate]] crew members and may need to use force to protect the station. However inversely to antagonists, they are expected to rely on non-lethal force as a first attempt unless the crew member in question is acting in a way that makes a non-violent approach untenable.

Both these things are good for when you need to get away from a dangerous person, or for when you're cornered.

	When you right click while holding a melee weapon, you will do a wide attack with it, in the direction of your cursor. The shape of a wide attack varies from weapon to weapon - for example, a spear will thrust forward, hitting a narrow area that reaches a fair distance away from your body, and a baseball bat will unleash a wide swing to hit anything in about a 90 degree arc in front of you. Whatever your weapon collides with will be hit.		When you right click while holding a melee weapon, you will do a wide attack with it, in the direction of your cursor.

Wide attacks are good for when your target is running around, either to fight back or to run away; it's hard to click on a runner, but you don't need to click directly on your target with wide attacks. Wide attacks can even hit multiple targets; that collateral damage can be a good or a bad thing, depending on how evil you are. If you want to minimize collateral damage, or make sure your attack definitely hits a specific object (or person), left clicking is the way to go.

	Note that a [[Zombie]] starts in Combat Mode but can turn it off to right click on creatures to determine if they are already Zombified or not. Zombies can also do wide attacks with their bare hands.

For ranged weapons that can do this (such as bows and some larger guns) two-handing them is necessary to fire them at all.

			==Execution==
			If for whatever reason you definitely need to kill a helpless individual (for example if they're a zombie and you need to make sure they're all the way dead) you can execute them. Executing someone does ten times the weapon's normal damage, making it a great way to ensure that someone is very definitely dead. As always, refer to [[Server Rules]] before following these steps:
			# Prepare your victim; they must be restrained, unconscious, in crit, or yourself.
			# Put your weapon in your active hand. It must be either a gun, or a slashing weapon like a knife or a shard of glass.
			# Right click on your victim, then hover over their name in the contextual menu
			# Click "Execute" from the options that appear
			# Wait for the bar to empty, and watch as your victim's blood splatters all over the room!
