dragging weapons in battlescape?

<< < (3/5) > >>

kurja:
hmm yes I actually had tried to throw a medkit earlier and couldn't do it - I wanted to give a medikit to another soldier who was a couple squares away and under fire.

I'd actually like to see all items being throwable, for situations like that and also to throw anything at an alien as a last desperate act  ;) I remember doing that a lot in xcom...

homunculus:
@kurja:
yeah, and you could also hit an alien with anything in melee, and the heavier the item the more the damage (so it wouldn't make sense to beat the alien with ir-goggles) and some items would have special melee damage.

i mean, like with a grenade launcher.
if the damage is enough then the grenadier wouldn't need a secondary weapon (especially considering that monomolecular knife (as a secondary weapon) is so difficult to put in belt or holster (you need to drag it extremely accurately, unlike other items)).

btw did you manage to kill any alien in x-com by throwing your out of ammo heavy plasma at it?

@DarkRain:
and stun rods.

kurja:
Heavy plasmas or blaster launchers didn't fly too far when throw, I recall :p But, I think that once, just once, I got a sectoid with an empty rifle - now that I think of it maybe I hit it with my rifle, wasn't that too possible in xcom?

homunculus:
no, as far as i remember, you couldn't hit with anything in x-com, so it must have been throwing.

unless you saw it in your dreams, because i don't remember a thrown grenade doing any damage before explosion, nor a soldier getting damage from anything thrown.

DarkRain:
That reminds me of the reason the medikit is no longer throwable, now that it has ammo, it would be *thrown* to the patient when you tried to heal someone (and it *did* heal the target)
