==Stuns==
A fight is typically won by either stunning your enemy, which lets you [[#Cuffing|cuff]] them, or by hurting them to a [[Health#Critical_Status|crit]] state or [[Health#Death|worse]]. Learn what the different types of [[Status_Effects#Disables|stuns]] do. An accessible stunning weapon can be made by crafting a [[Makeshift_weapons#Stunprod|stunprod]] [[File:Stunprod.png]]. Also note, when the wiki or players talk about "stuns", they typically mean both the [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] and the [[Status_Effects#Stun|stun]] [[Status_Effects|status effects]]. Stun times varies depending on item used, but are usually around 4-15 seconds. You can reduce stun times on yourself in several ways, such as with certain [[Guide_to_chemistry#Narcotics|chemicals]], including from smoking [[Guide_to_chemistry#Nicotine|nicotine]]. Some stuns are conditional, such as the [[Status_Effects#Paralyze|paralyze]] from the [[Security_items#Flash|flash]] [[File:Flash.gif]], which only works if the target has no [[Clothing_and_Accessories#Sunglasses|sunglasses]] or similar protection. If your target is [[Guide_to_genetics#Mutations_and_Their_Consequences|immune to stuns]], you will usually have to damage them instead.
