Medipacks and Grenades

[Brianrts]

How do you use the Medipacks effectively. I put the medipack in the troppers arms them click the use icon/button.. doesnt seem to do anything.. How often are you rotating your tropps back to base for rest? Is there any detriment to going from mission to mission (other than restock ammo and healing?)

 

And I cant seemt o get a hang of Grenades.. are they supposed to be on the left or right side of the weapn box.. I can get them to be thrown sometimes by hitting a then right clicking where I want it to go but most times it seems I have pitiful throwing range

 

 

thanks

all active items are in the left box. makesure u are attacking with the grenade not throwing it. u dont get any ammo or hp restored if u dont return to base, jsut go back after every mission unless u did realy well and the other one is realy close to where u just finished. attack with the medpack to use it(near as i can tell the use button is only used on doors)

grenades own i love them ... get a nice launcher and its ... aliens go splat .

 

shame you cant use a launcher, maybe a rocket launcher, to get into a UFO.
