We post some epic features that we want more people to remember and use

1. E-swords have 300 force on embedd and a 25% chance to embedd

No one throws their e-swords anyways because you'd literally lose your e-sword 75% of the time. honk honk


2. You can put plasma into batteries to turn them into bombs. bigger charge the battery has, bigger the boom.

put plasma into a bluespace battery. put the battery into a stun-baton and give it to sec/an assistant.

Easy greentext.

3. Monkeys are the stations best beakers. Drained of blood they can hold 1000u of any reagent.

Put in some black powder and some phloginston. Then throw the flaming monkey at sec.

When they wonder why the hell there's a monkey on fire in front of sec. BOOM now that's a large ass chemistry grenade.

4. Y'know whats better then just attaching a c4 to a person? Attaching a c4 to a syndicate bola and throwing it at someone.

Now thats a nice instant kill aint it?

5. Last tip so I stop throttling you guys as I rack up my brain for more tips.You can put reagents into damp rags and target the mouth.

Go up to someone from behind and now that's an instant drug of whatever chemical you have.

Chloral Hydrate is a good one. But I prefer me some instant KO zombie powder or beepsky stun.

Hell Yeah. Just make sure to ask them "Does this rag smell like chlorofoam to you?"

I got another one

Its possible to carve glass shards into an e-sword lite.

Keep throwing it at a wall and click yourself to see how much damage it does. make sure to use a health analyzer.

Throwing a glass shard randomizes its damage. The maximum it can be is 15. while an e-sword does 18 while on.

Pretty cool stealth weapon.

Might be thinking of e-dagger. but one of them does 18 burn damage while on.

Pretty sure you're wrong on the esword embed thing, 75% embed chance with 20 base throwforce and a 10x initial pain multiplier times w_class of 4 gives (20 + 4 * 10 = 60 brute)
P.S. Shoot Dr. Allen on sight and dissolve his body in acid. Don't burn it.

Doesnt it apply the weps damage once embedded and not the continuous throwforce? No idea how embedd code works

If you're asking if getting an esword embedded in you is equivalent to getting slashed 10 times by one, no.

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/ ... ior.dm#L22

It's throwforce + (w_class * embed impact pain multiplier)

My real question is how you got 25% chance to embed vs the actual 75%


Neat thing I just found, the plain wizard staff is 100% armor piercing, didn't expect that

Yeah it blows up scaling to the amount of plasma in it. Screw open a welder then pour the fuel out into a beaker or whatever, then pour in a bunch of plasma

Of course gloves fucking do even fingerless ones do but nowadays a welder works since knockdown aint a concern the glass thing is absurd powergaming for no reward
Also eswords do 30, axes do 24 whatever
Weldering a stack of 50 plasma is the epic way of starting a fire

smuggler's satchels people have hidden with items that persist over rounds (usually they're empty though) nobody bothers to look for

Not anymore. It just gives some random contraband items (syndie mask, syndie smokes, omegaweed, contraband posters, ect) and can found throughout the station.

nerf yourself

but if you want a really bad-gamer OP move

Emping a defib essentially emags it and makes it a pre-revamp stun baton

Go ham on people and give them Heart Attacks while alive


Fire cremates you, remember this as this was a recent change. Xenobio, Toxins, Incinerator (engineering maint) and the execution chamber aren't all kill-rooms for nothing

you can hide in suit storage units
you can fry people in suit storage units
you can emag the cloner while it's cloning to turn someone into liquid gibs (cool sprite)
you can inject eggs with reagents and throw them at people (only works if their head/face isn't covered)

Not exactly features but solid advice:

1. Bear traps are extremely powerful weapons in a pursuit.

If you're being chased, throwing down a bear trap behind you is a good way to get them to slow down. In the off chance they don't see it, you can end up dealing a not insignificant amount of damage to someone. These are incredibly useful as a nightmare, who can drop them in and around the place tactically to snag people using lights, but also useful for ninjas due to their partial invisibility allowing them to throw them out at people while standing in obscuring backgrounds. Speaking of ninjas...

2. While using your cloak, ekatana onto vendors and other noisey surfaces to obscure your location as a ninja.

Standing in the option is a surefire way to get you spotted but if the object behind you is a particularly noisey sprite then you are much, much harder to notice. This lets you initiate engagements completely by surprise.

3. Beakers of clf3 delete walls

100u of clf3 splashed onto a wall deletes it. Have fun with that.

4. The resin launcher in atmospherics can be filled with touch chems to work as a chem extinguisher

This includes things like clf3, acid and although I haven't tested it, maybe rhigoxane?

5. Sawn-off improvised/non-improvised shotguns fit in shoulder holsters.

Shortcut a gun into your hand, fire, drop, repeat two more times for that amazing Reaper feeling of scattering guns everywhere. Shoulder holsters are not a bad way to transport a ton of shotguns on top of that.

6. Storage Implants with smuggler's satchels can take the place of a bag.

You don't need a bag if your bag is internal and can't ever be taken from you. This means you can reserve your backpack slot for combat shotguns, ion rifles, or other very large objects you can't transport with you normally, without compromising the utility of carriable gear. Smuggler's satchels also can be found onstation, but if you can't find any, a box can do for smaller items.

6.1 Chameleon kits come with a bag in a box.

This is getting in borderline exploits but the bag in the cham kit box is a fully usable bag you can simply keep inside the box by alt-clicking it for when you need to open it. This works well with my previous tip in that you can fill that bag with smuggler satchels for further space. You cannot put a box into a smuggler's satchel.

6.1.1 The previous tip can be done as many times as you have cham kits for exponentially more bag space.

Why do you need all that bag space? I don't know but who cares

7. The Syndicate Tome is an 18 force burn weapon that dusts limbs. It is essentially a stronger cake hat.

It is usually overlooked as a meme purchase simply because it requires you to have an ally and the 6 tc pricetag is a little much. But it is actually a fairly versatile weapon in that it is both a healing item and a potent melee weapon with the potential to cleanly dust body parts. Very useful for boning and removing brains. To kill someone with it, use harm intent.

It'd be a nerf for sure

But it'd be cool as hell to go to cryo and go "HOLY SHIT THERE'S A BARELY VISIBLE ICON SUBMERGED IN FLAMES"

Borgs can unwrench consoles when the circuitboard is exposed and move them around and reassemble them. You can do this to move the robotics console to somewhere safe so the AI doesn't have to choose between leaving it but letting anyone blow up the borgs, or destroying it and not beign able to hack borgs.

You can emag more than doors and borgs and honestly its more useful as a tool to start chaos than a door opener.
Beepskys, Medibots and Cleanbots. Holodeck. Ok, you knew those.
Security gas masks. Megaphones. Cargo console. Meteor satellites. Library computer. Firing pins. Light replacers. Limb grower. Arcade machines. Comm consoles. Autolathes. Many more. Use emags on anything you find.

I think on other servers you can use an emag on a partially assembled AI core to connect it to the station's systems if the creator doesn't have legitemate access, otherwise it can't remote control anything and is only good for carding and installing in a hardsuit. Don't think emagging a fully made AI does anything on any of the servers though.

You can also implant xeno brains into humans, clone the brain+body to create human xenos. I'm pretty sure they can't speak common ever since the language subsystem but you can just treat them as lower-class citizens and use chemical+tracker implants to use them as forced labour.

You can also use them to trap people or throw off people chasing you on the station if there's enough space. Another good use for them is making an exploration base on space z-levels.

Door creation bolts Also open airlocks and other doors/doorlike objects which aren't the type of door spawned by the staff on hit. Additionally, it seems the bolts can hit multiple layers of doors. This is useful for wizards, Doorcarps, or any fucker who wants to greytide with the door staff

Now, Another thing, Hitting a rev over the head with a blunt weapon, if they aren't revhead, has a chance to derev them. Of course at that point you're probably already killing the fucker.

Another thing again, Death bolts do NOT instakill bubblegum, and actually don't appear to do much damage. Aside from that, bubblegum also has a really long agro range, so if you try to run back to the outpost to shake them off, you might end up bringing them with you.

Holoparasites are affected by bolts of change and are disconnected from you if that happens. However, that ALSO makes them free, IIRC, so it might be a double edged sword.

Standard module borgs, oddly, are the only borg type capable of a proper arrest. They are equipped with both a flash and zipties. Essentially a standard borg can act as a jack of all trades, master of none, and is ESPECIALLY deadly when hacked, getting an ESWORD last I checked.

Sync your fucking departmental lathes, it doesn't automatically give the new tech, so you have to check.

While the CE hardsuit is almost immune to radiation, It can still carry it, alongside the ce themself. If people are suffering from radiation, bring a geiger counter next to the ce and see if it goes nuts.

Some items are worth nothing to export, and are worth more to use on station. Don't fucking sell them, cargo.

ALWAYS CLOSE THE BLAST DOOR SHUTTERS ON THE CARGO SHUTTLE BEFORE SENDING IT OFF DO YOU WANT TO VENT THE SHUTTLE?

If you see someone dying, CPR and medical supplies can help them get up and get to medbay.
