Health, armor and Trigens
More health, armor and trigens
- Stamina — Recovery after exertion · Keep enough for a useful escape
- Weapon ammunition — Compatible pickups · Check before a major fight
Quick notes
- Health and armor are finite pickups. The HUD tracks health and armor separately.
- Close Trigens punish narrow escape routes. Fast melee mutants can cross a small room quickly.
- Heavy mutants need sustained control. Large armored or rocket-equipped threats demand cover and suitable firepower.
- Use enemy conflict when the encounter allows it. Mercenaries and Trigens may fight one another.
