Combat
Combat can be defined as the tools you have, and how good you are when using them to kill.
Your day to day combat is quite simple. Whenever you start a fight at the bar, or is getting abused by security, or is joining any social fight on your day to day life on the station.
Your built-in tools are: Help, Disarm, Grab & Harm.
- You use HELP (green) to help people up, if you're fighting with a partner that comes in handy.
- You use DISARM (blue) to shove people into things, like tables or walls.
- You use GRAB (yellow) to throw people on things or other people, and to strangle.
- You use HARM (red) to beat people with your fists or with weapons, like toolboxes, pickaxes, fire extinguishers, and so on.
If you are COMPLETELY new to the game, dont worry, all these things will be explained better further down, but if you are truly truly completely new it is recommended you get a sense of these tools by playing the game and learning naturally, remember, you are playing to have fun!
How can I have more successful combat encounters?
Like it was said before, your day to day combat is quite simple, if you want to kill someone, pickup a weapon and apply to head. If you want to not get killed, take what you can, apply to the head and scream your lungs out for help.
When we are not talking about a regular fight and start to touch the more experienced spectrum, you have to understand some concepts:
1. You are what you wear;
(Continuing later)
Shoving
You disarm someone into an object and he falls down. yeah, thats about it. The objects can be tables, walls, vending machines, other people.. go try it. Very efficient at making people mad.
Shooting
You grab a loaded gun in your hand, click on someone and you SHOOT THEM!! no fken way!!
Parrying
Some weapons can parry, basically you get it in your hand, activate the parry hotkey in the options, and press it in a parry way like any other game. Dont work half of the time, and the other half of the time makes people invincible. Maybe it got removed or changed and i'm being dumb someone please put this in
