Close Quarters Combat (CQC)Cqcmanual.png

CQC is a fighting style that focuses on hand-to-hand close-quarters combat. CQC is primarily an aggressive fighting style that focuses on dealing stamina damage to targets - designed to quickly subdue opponents and overpower them with pressure technique and crushing blows. This art requires a thorough knowledge of Intent. The Chef also has access to CQC, which in their case stands for Close Quarters Cooking - they can use it only within the Kitchen and the Bar, but it is otherwise identical.

Basic Attacks

DisarmIntent.png Disarm - Deals 15 stamina damage while shoving the opponent backwards and making them temporarily slur their speech.

GrabIntent.png Grab - Immobilizes for a second on grab, making it easier to reinforce.

HarmIntent.png Harm - Deals 20 stamina damage instead of minor brute damage. Deals 10 bonus Stamina damage if the opponent is knocked down or prone.

Combo Attacks

GrabIntent.png > HarmIntent.png Slam - Slams the opponent, confusing them and knocking them down while dealing 50 Stamina damage. Only works on people standing.

DisarmIntent.png > HarmIntent.png CQC Kick - Knocks the opponent away and deals 25 Stamina damage. If target is prone, instead deals 40 Stamina and 10 Brain damage while also muting them temporarily.

GrabIntent.png > GrabIntent.png Restrain - Locks your opponent into a restraining position, making your grab harder to break out of. Follow up this combo with a DisarmIntent.png to begin a chokehold which deals immediate stamina and gradual oxygen damage until the target passes out. The more stamina damage they have when the chokehold begins, the more stamina / oxygen damage you will deal. Failing to complete the chokehold will weaken and possibly break your grab.

DisarmIntent.png > GrabIntent.png Pressure - Deals 40 Stamina damage and steals whatever item your opponent is currently holding in their active hand.

DisarmIntent.png > DisarmIntent.png > HarmIntent.png Consecutive CQC - Deals 70 Stamina damage and 20 Brute damage to the opponent.

HarmIntent.png (While crawling or prone) Leg Sweep - In addition to the normal effects of Harm, knocks the opponent down for 5 seconds and forces you back on your feet, even if you are manually crawling.

Chef CQC

The Chef automatically knows CQC. However, they only know how to use it when they are in the Bar, Kitchen, and Freezer. No one knows why they can only use it in those places, but it is rumored that a NNO got upset after they found the chef dead and his kitchen empty when the NNO had a particularly ravenous case of the munchies. As a result, they implanted a geo-activated martial-arts implant into every chef that teaches them basic self-defence when they're cooking.

Krav Maga Kravgloves.png

Krav Maga is a self-defence style that was developed by ancient militaries on Terra six centuries ago. It can be learned through years of training or be given to a user by advanced nanomachines stored inside gloves. On the station, a singular pair of Krav Maga Gloves can be found the Warden's locker. Nuclear Operatives can use Combat Gloves Plus for the same effect.

Basic Attacks

DisarmIntent.png Disarm - Disarm attacks have a 60% chance to steal what your opponent is holding out of their active hand, rather than dropping it on the floor.

HarmIntent.png Harm - While using Krav Maga, one is more adept at hand-to-hand combat, increasing the damage dealt when punching by 10, and by an additional 5 against floored targets.

Combo Attacks

Note that krav maga combos aren't like the combos of most martial arts. You must instead ready the attack you wish to use in your action bar, then follow it up by attacking your opponent as normal.

LegSweepIcon.png Leg Sweep - Sweeps the legs out from under a target to knock them down for four seconds.

NeckChopIcon.png Neck Chop - A hard swing with the side of your hand deals some damage and disables the target's ability to speak for twenty seconds

LungPunchIcon.png Lung Punch - Deals 30 stamina damage and prevents breathing for ten seconds. Four of those will incapacitate a target less-than-lethally, but beware of the loss of breath you cause.

Way of the Sleeping CarpCarp.gif

An ancient art learned through intense study and meditation. It is modeled after the graceful movement, combat, and flow of Space Carp. Ancient masters of this art are rumored to have studied among great schools of space carp and survived, some have even befriended the aggressive creatures. This art is often utilized by zealots and extremists especially among The Syndicate.

Due to the graceful nature of this martial art, users are able to completely deflect almost all incoming projectiles when on throw intent and reflect them back in random directions. This includes all ballistic and laser based projectiles but not explosives. However, part of becoming a Master of Sleeping Carp is to take an oath to abstain from using projectile weapons. This includes wielded firearms and firearms attached to equipment such as mechs. It isn't quite clear why, however, it is thought that it allows the user to intensify their focus on perfect flow and deflection. Others believe that it is part of the drive of the master to further emulate the way of the Carp, so as to completely focus on the attack of the Carp: its Bite. This does not prevent the practitioners of Sleeping Carp from throwing items, bolas, floor tiles, or people- all useful ranged weapons.

The aggressive bite of a carp crushes bones and breaks the spirit of its target. Much like the carp's bite, the user of this martial art will crush the bones of others through heavy blows from their hands, resulting in extreme brute damage. To reach full damage potential the user will commit fully with all of their strength, and in the heat of the moment will yell out expletives such as "CARP STRIKE" and "COWABUNGA". May God have mercy and anyone who finds themselves on the other side of the fury a Master of the way of the Sleeping Carp. Masters of the sleeping carp will never miss their punches and their crushing blows will deal 10-15 damage.

Basic Attacks

HarmIntent.png Harm - Deals 10-15 brute damage instead of the normal damage your punches would deal.

Combo Attacks

HarmIntent.png > GrabIntent.png Keelhaul - Kicks an opponent in the head, knocking them down and dealing stamina damage to them! Deals 40 stamina, damage 10 brute damage, and knocks down for 6 seconds, unless they are already stunned. In that case, it will deal 5 brute damage and 40 stamina damage, as well as completely disarming the target.

HarmIntent.png > DisarmIntent.png Crashing Waves Kick - Kicks the target square in the chest, sending them flying. Deals 15 damage and sends the target up to 7 tiles away from you.

HarmIntent.png > HarmIntent.png Gnashing Teeth - Every second consecutive punch deals extra damage, and you will shout to strike fear into your opponent's heart. Deals 20 sharp damage and makes you shout like a lunatic.

These Martial arts are only available through admin intervention

Mimejutsu

A technique only practiced by the most robust of mimes.

Combo Attacks

GrabIntent.png > DisarmIntent.png - Silent Palm - Throws the target a great distance away with only a slight touch.

Plasma Fist

A long-forgotten martial art rumored to originate somewhere in Boron, a theory likely founded by observation of the users of this technique shouting "PLASMA FIST!" at the top of their lungs before violently gibbing their targets.

Combo Attacks

HarmIntent.png > HarmIntent.png > DisarmIntent.png Tornado Sweep - Repulses target and everyone back. This attack does no damage by itself, other than the two punches, but may cause collateral damage by flinging people into objects and other people. The user yells "TORNADO SWEEP!"
DisarmIntent.png > HarmIntent.png > DisarmIntent.png Throwback - Throws the target and an item at them. Similar to Tornado Sweep, in that finishing the combo does no additional damage.

An infinitely powerful art.

Combo Attacks

GrabIntent.png > HelpIntent.png - Instant rejuvenate. Similar to a staff of resurrection, in that the mob is revived and fully restored.
