SS14 - All Syndicate Melee Weapons Compared

[@Liltenhead]

Forgot to include rigged boxing gloves. Only Boxer's and Passengers may buy them. They do 25 stamina damage, attack 1.4 times a second and do 8 blunt damage. Not amazing for killing, but its basically a stunbaton you wear as gloves and they aren't instantly obvious to be the rigged variant. They cost 6 TC for passengers, and only 4 TC for Boxers.

[@cainprescott4937]

generally I find that one good way to semi-conceal the glove weapons is to have a hardsuit, or something else that draws the eyes away from the few pixels that make up your hands.

[@Liltenhead]

@@cainprescott4937 Good points, hardsuits do cover the hands entirely.

No one but cargo ever wears it lol

@@LiltenheadApologies, this is wrong, I as a sec officer wore them after Armory was opened. Then I grabbed wardens hardsuit.

[@feez4348]

Fun thing for the energy weapons. None of the security hardsuits actually have heat protection

[@Liltenhead]

I always get that mixed up, thank you

[@catfoodbob1]

its the atmo hardsuits that you gotta worry about, though it would be neat to have a job specific syndicate atmo hardsuit.

[@feez4348]

@@catfoodbob1 Not even, atmos hardsuits have bad slash protection

[@Blackern5000]

Me when I kill all of sec and command solo with gloves of the north star. I actually did this, mixing them with the freedom implant is busted since you don't drop them on stun and cuff and can get right back into the fight.

[@Liltenhead]

Probably the best weapon in the game for that reason. Easy to kill someone and instantly take their weapon.

[@henhenIII]

I also use a emp implant but I think rigged gloves are better because you stun them making them not able to attack back and it doesn't look suspicious when having them on in public

[@andrewgreeb916]

In my experience if you use emp and freedom implants sec will start using lethal force to subdue you, so your milage will vary

[@PolarTundra655]

I fear what you could do if you got more tcs from a conspirator. Holoparasite and north star sounds utterly bonkers

[@Blackern5000]

@@PolarTundra655 I would have spent it on combat medipens in order to continue my reign far after sec and command had fallen.

[@Przemko27Z]

Good to know northstar has autoswing so I'll no longer embarass myself by being disarmed by picking up trash mid-fight.

[@darksaiyan2006]

I did add minus sound volume to the energy pen, but I guess it's still easy to hear from far away.

[@Liltenhead]

Yeah you can head it across the station unfortunately

[@agustron2479]

Forgot to include the holoparasite. You just cant be arrested and you got a pocket gibber and you still can buy 6tc of stuff

Woah, woah. Editing stamped papers? Did not know.

I would love to see some guide to new plants that you can get from mutations like lemoon from lemon. Mime banana from banana etc

The only thing this video is missing is a counter for the amount of times you said valid

[@Liltenhead]

If I didn't say it fifty times I'd get dmd asking why someone got shot for running around with an esword lol

[@ShadaOfAllThings]

wait, can't you put the cybersun pen in the pen slot of the PDA? Pen slot storage if its a thing is always perfect to have, because nobody checks the pen

[@Liltenhead]

You can

[@notloopers1110]

Where is my favorite syndicate weapon, the throngler??? Also dual e sword

[@Liltenhead]

Only the assault borg gets it

[@namikk0167]

we need heavy mlee weapons for both sec and syndies i belive, somethink like warhammer and shield belt from rimworld

[@GoGoRoboto]

Don't sleep on truncheon

[@icotica921]

The Esword is strangely big. It also doesn’t sound super competitive from what I can tell? The reflect sounds nice but it’s also super loud and you can be disarmed with it so I’m unsure. If it is underpowered I hope it gets evened out at some point

[@DandiIion]

Question as someone that comes from a goon how does an item alone make you "Valid"? seems to come from a different server culture than Im used to. If I see someone with a random syndicate item and they aint murdering anyone with it there's a pretty good chance they just found it. Sure a full set of syndicate gear murdering people is a different story but I don't get this whole your good to hunt down anyone even vaguely antag looking thing.

[@Liltenhead]

Lrp is very valid hunty. People also tend to get upset for getting arrested for walking around with energy swords in their hand. It's pretty common to see syndis get permad for having one piece of contraband

[@andrewgreeb916]

I've been arrested for having a syndicate balloon. Like they go after all syndicate items even useless category ones that can spawn round start. Sometimes you can convince sec to let you keep stuff like a syndicate PAI.

[@buraktorun8531]

​@@andrewgreeb916I think uh I might arrested you as warden for baloon

[@salem-salem4426]

Do you deal less damage with a wide swing than a targeted swing? If no, what are the advantages of targeted attacks?

[@IanChunck]

You used to deal a bonus 15% damage on direct hits but as of now wide swings and direct hits do the same amount

[@mikakuhn958]

They are better if you don‘t want to hit allies close to the enemy. Other than that there is no big difference.

[@andrewgreeb916]

Wide swings tend to hit unwanted targets, as salvage using glaive wide swing is often caught on walls or tables not hitting your actual target.

[@PolarTundra655]

@@andrewgreeb916 how do you wide swing with the glaive? isn't the right click a projectile

I had no idea how disgusting those gloves were

[@Liltenhead]

Super strong, borderline op that the best melee weapon isn't even a melee weapon

[@BadWizardGaming]

@@LiltenheadI'd say only not OP on high pop LRP. Low pop you might have like 2 security people tops? So a gloves of the north star user can just plow through the whole station.

[@Pvariety441]

Isn't the regular saw 6 blunt, 6 pierce, 6 slash? Or am I misremembering

[@Liltenhead]

The circular saw is the same dps as the advanced.

[@thebadman6169]

@@Liltenhead Pretty sure advanced is quick knife swing speed, while circular is the usual 1 attack per second.

[@Jetstream_Toster]

No. Regular also 5 5 5, but attack speed 1, when advanced 1.5

@@thebadman6169 You are correct

[@Liltenhead]

@@Jetstream_Toster Yeah just double checked, you're right.

its job specific, but I probably shoulda included it. I'll make a pinned message with the stats.

[@Tory-JJ]

they need to add the TC toolbox to 3 hit people with.

[@noelka8134]

Question: if the gloves are worn by someone who deals slash/pierce with bare hands, would gloves deal that type of damage, or it's always blunt?

[@Jetstream_Toster]

It doesn't matter, u will deal only 8 blunt
