Template:FmboxWhether you need to defend yourself from traitors, remove intruders from the bridge, or murder the clown, you have a lot to too choose from for the job - weapons in Space Station 14 are numerous and varied. They are primarily divided between ranged and melee weapons. The latter of the two includes your own fists, which are hard to lose. If you, however, want to find weapons better than those, but are struggling to find dedicated ones, makeshift weapons are nearly always available - although they are usually less reliable, and inconvenient in their own ways.

For the purposes of this page, less obvious things to count as weapons, such as banana peels, flashbangs, or space lube, are listed as well, as they all play an important part in the game's combat.

Combat

Template:Main To enter Combat mode, find the relevant icon in your actions menu or list. Remember that you can wield some weapons in both hands by using them in hand, this includes large melee weapons, but also large firearms like shotguns or sniper rifles.

It's also good to internalize that advantages provided by better weapons often stifle when faced with the chaotic nature of space station's rounds. Someone with a glass shard, or even just fists, can very reasonably take out an antagonist, or member of command armed to the teeth, if the situation on board the station has suitably deteriorated. The environment often plays a large role in how fight's play out. It should be deeply considered before, and when in, a fight. It will matter just as much for a passenger, who's trying to steal a stun baton, as for a team of nuclear operatives, who are trying to wipe out a department. Space lube, fauna, fire, radiation, and other hazards, don't effect everyone equally.

Mostly items which can be used as weapons to variable result, while usually also being easier to obtain for civilians compared to dedicated melee weapons. Most of them are also not illegal to have, or if they are, significantly less so than their similar dedicated counterparts.

Explosives

Icon	Item	How to acquire	Notes
	Rigged powercell	See notes	Inject liquid plasma into a battery with a syringe to rig it. Once the cell is plugged into a device it will it will explode upon the device changing power states (ie. flashlight being turned on/off) - explosion size and damage depends on size of powercell.
	Modular Grenade	Construction	To construct one, one needs a payload, a grenade casing, and a trigger. The payload can be chemical - loaded with 2 containers which will mix on tripping of the trigger. There are currently three types of trigger: voice, signal and timer. All, but voice have a preset countdown before detonation. A crowbar can be used on the used grenade to extract the payload and reuse it.

	The Nuclear Option	Admeme	Actual pocket nuclear bomb, with matching damage and radius. Please don't throw it, think of the children.

Non-lethal Weapons

Combat tracks "stamina damage", which if allowed to fully exhaust will cause a lengthy stun affliction, which knocks down and disables a player's ability to do anything for a set duration. During the stun, the player is unable to move or act in any way that isn't speaking.

The above is a "true" stun, unlike, in comparison, for example the taser, which only knocks an opponent down, but will not prevent them from further actions - meaning they can immediately get off the ground and pick up their weapons to attack.

This isn't a complete list, you can help by expanding it.

Icon	Item	True stun?	How to acquire	Notes
	Banana Peel	Knockdown	Eating a banana / maintenance / clown equipment	Stepping on a banana peel while running, without no-slip shoes or an active magboots effect, will immediately knock down and deal about 25% stamina damage. The primary counter to almost any legged threat.
	Soap	Knockdown	Janitor / maintenance closets / traitor uplink	Works the same as banana peels. The omega soap variation does more stamina damage and downs for about 5 seconds instead of 1. The syndicate "slipocalypse clustersoap" variation available from the traitor uplink for 1 tc splits into miniature soap fragments upon being thrown, which are supposed to disappear after 60 seconds (currently bugged). Janitor's favorite.
	Space lube/Lube bomb	Knockdown	Chemistry / clown equipment	Might be hard to get outside of chemistry/clownery, but can block off whole departments if made into a reagent foam bomb.
	Bola	Stun	Security / Construction	When thrown ensnares any target along it's trajectory, making them lose about half their movement speed. Takes a couple seconds to remove. 6 are always available in any sec-tech vending machine. They can also be crafted with cuffs and 6 sheets of metal.
	Disabler	Stun	Security	Ranged weapon available to all of security. Shoots projectile laser shots, which drain stamina. The stamina knockdown leaves enough time to cuff and apprehend. Can be quick equipped from belt.
	Stun Baton	Stun	Security	Same as the disabler, but melee. Has to be activated to stun. Runs off a power cell, needs to be periodically recharged - uniquely the power cell drains per hit used while on, and not in relation to how long it's actively on, unlike other powered devices.

Miscellaneous

Weapons - if they can be called that - listed here do no damage or major direct crowd control on their own, and require some creativity for effective usage.

Icon	Item	Extra effects	How to acquire	Notes
	Improvised pneumatic cannon	Varies	Crafting	Allows you to launch any 4x4, or smaller item. This can be anything from live mice and station pets to throwing knives, grenades and reagent filled beakers. Relatively accessible, requiring a pair of makeshift cuffs, 6 steel, a pipe and a pressurized tank.
	Flash	Flash and Slow	Security/Command	An ultrabright flashbulb with a trigger, which causes the victim to be dazed and lose their eyesight for a moment. Can be used in hand for brief AOE blindness or Useless when burnt out. Sunglasses or welding mask offer 100% protection from the flash effect.
	Flashbang	Flash	Security	A flashbang grenade which detonate after a 3.5 sec delay. The flash duration should leave enough time to cuff someone. Sunglasses or welding mask offer 100% protection from the flash effect.
