Ammo Boxes And Health Packs

[KwikGambino]

I like to run a daily "Solo" pass through the missions I can handle. A common problem I am running into is running out of ammo far before the missions end. I have purchased ammo boxes and equipped them. But I cannot seem to figure out how to use them or the heals in game. Is this something that is class restricted? Or am I just not seeing where to enable them?

While you are in the mission press Q that will open you an 8 slot window (bottom left screen) with the gear you have purchased you can use the ammo/health/shield w/e you want by left clicking on it.

(make sure you have equiped the ammo/health/shield consumable that you want to use)

Once you equip them in the gear box, click "Z" to see the gear window in-game and click the item that you want to use.

Note: not sure if "Z" is the default key cuz I may have changed it ages ago. If it didn't work, try "Q"?

I believe the default button to pull up your inventory for that sort of thin in the mission is 'Q'. Once pressed you can just click on the item you want to apply

Hold the Q button (by default), use your mouse cursor to select the item. Voila.

They should open a hotkey set for the item slots when Q is pressed though.

This is how it works for me.  Never needed an ammo box, but my squishy frame can eat through health restores on harder Solo missions.

Ammo Boxes are nice if you use a weapon with low bullet damage like Grakata, Furis and Viper. I burned through quite a few Ammoboxes leveling those weapons, but thanks to the higher Mission payouts everyone is swimming in money anyways and 1k Credits for a Ammobox that fiills your whole ammopool isn't so expensive anymore.

 

The Healthpacks however could need some love. Naming a pack that gives you a wooping 100 HP a "Large Health Restore" if you have 500+ HP is a bit funny...

I agree that health/shield pack need some "love" lol  but the only possible way in order for that to be viable and profitable at the same time is to make them a HoT like (heal/shield over time) with a reasonable amount always (imo).
