Makeshift weapons are offensive weaponry or equipment that can be made with relatively common and low tech items. They are significantly less effective than more modern and effective [[Security items]], but these weapons can prove to be very useful in a pinch.

== Construction ==

====[[File:Cablecuffs.png]] Cablecuffs====
Cable cuffs are makeshift handcuffs. They are easier to break out of, and wirecutters will remove them instantly, but otherwise they still function as normal handcuffs. You need at least 15 coils.
{| style="background-color:#EEEEEE" width="100"
!Requires
|-
|15 x [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable coil|link=Cable coil]]
|}

Click on the Cable Coil in your hand and select "Make Cable Restraints".
Alternatively, you can hold some cable and click 'Make Cable Restraints' in the object tab.

====[[File:Spear.png]] Spear====
The spear is a makeshift melee weapon which can only be held in hand or on your back. It does 10 brute when wielded with one hand, and 18 brute when wielded in both hands. You can impale a decapitated head on the spear, and display it for all to see. However, this essentially nullifies the spear as a weapon. (you can just make another one, but, eh...)
{| style="background-color:#EEEEEE" width="300"

|1 x [[File:Rods.png|Rods|link=Rods]], 15 x [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable coil|link=Cable coil]], 1x [[File:Shard.png|Glass shard|link=Glass shard]]
|}

Make Cable Restraints from the Cable Coil.
Use the Rods on the Cable Restraints.
Use the Glass Shard on the Wired Rod.

====[[File:Stunprod.png]] Stunprod====
The Stunprod is a makeshift [[Stun Baton]] which consumes much more battery life, stuns for less when used, and is much, much bulkier, which means that it can't be stored in backpacks. (it will only fit on your back or belt slots) Nonetheless, it will keep a target down for about five seconds which is enough time to slap some cuffs on. Expect to get thrown in the brig if caught with this weapon by Security. It is possible to recharge a Stunprod after depleting its power supply, simply use a [[Screwdriver]] on the prod to remove the [[Power Cell]] and either replace it with a fresh cell or put the dead cell in a [[Cell Charger]]. Rechargers are also surprisingly compatible with Stunprods.

While the Stunprod is great for self-defence, it deals poor damage. Best usage of the Stunprod is to subdue your target or use it to get distance between yourself and them.

|1 x [[File:Rods.png|Rods|link=Rods]], 1 x [[File:Igniter.png|Igniter|link=Igniter]], 15 x [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable coil|link=Cable coil]], 1x [[File:Powercell.png|Power cell|link=Power Cell]]
|}

Make Cable Restraints from 15 Cable Coil.
Use the Rods on the Cable Restraints
Use the Igniter on the Rods
Use the Power Cell on the assembled rod.
=========Alternatively=============
Collect all components and place them within one tile of you.
Open the crafting menu (T hud icon).
Find and select "Stunprod" and wait a few seconds.

====[[File:Molotov.gif|32px]] Molotov Cocktail====
Bash it on your target, watch him burst into flames. Highly recommended for rioters and revolutionaries alike. Light and toss. Fwooosh.
{| style="background-color:#EEEEEE" width="300"
!Requires
|-
|1 x [[File:Vodka bottle.png|Bottle|link=Bottle]], 1 x [[File:Rag.png|Rag|link=Rag]]
|}
Fill the bottle with 100 units of an accelerant, a highly flammable substance which will go up in flames when set alight.
(Examples include: Ethanol, Welding Fuel, [[Guide to chemistry#Chlorine Trifluoride|Chlorine Trifluoride]], [[Guide to chemistry#Phlogiston|Phlogiston]], [[Guide to chemistry#Napalm|Napalm]], [[Shaft_Miner#hellwater|Hellwater]], Liquid Plasma, and [[Blob#Blob Chemicals|Burning Spore Toxin]].)
Use the rag on the bottle filled with an accelerant.

====[[File:flamethrower.png]] Flamethrower====
The flamethrower creates a stream of flame that superheats the air and causes those caught in the flame to catch on fire. It has a range of about three tiles and is most effective against [[xenos|alien]] weeds and [[Space_Vines|space vines]]; while very effective against the aforementioned two infestations, the flamer is at best a suppression weapon against human targets and at worst a suicide attack to yourself. You are better off using a Stun Prod or a Toolbox to do direct damage, however the flamethrower is great for area denial, AoE attacks, and damage done over time (both from catching on fire and the hot state that it leaves the surrounding air in). When using a flamethrower either wear a [[Firesuit]] to protect you against the high heat or move back as soon as you fire the weapon.

May simply cause masses of [[plasma]] to be spewed everywhere if the pressure settings are too high.

Also, keep in mind that the tank can contain anything - from a burnmix over N20 to supercooled water vapor.

|1 x [[File:Rods.png|Rods|link=Rods]], [[File:Screwdriver.png|Screwdriver|link=Screwdriver]], 1 x [[File:Welder.png|Welder|link=Welding Tool]], 1 x [[File:Igniter.png|Igniter|link=Igniter]]
|}

Screwdriver the Welder
Add Rods to the Welder to create the Flamethrower
Screwdriver the Igniter
Add the Igniter to the Flamethrower
Screwdriver to finish
Load a Plasma Tank
=========Alternatively=============
Put the Welder, Rods, and Igniter within one tile of you.
Have a screwdriver available.
Open the crafting menu (T hud icon).
Find and select "Flamethrower" and wait a few seconds.
Load a Plasma Tank

You can also get one from a hacked [[Autolathe]], minus the plasma tank.

It should also be noted that the fuel inside the plasma tank determines the properties of the shot flame. Mixes of plasma and other gases can create different results when using the flamethrower, namely in temperature.

===[[File:Baseball_bat.png]] Baseball Bat===
The baseball bat does moderate damage and knocks back mobs.

Click on the wooden planks in your hand and select "baseball bat".
