| Environment Continued |
|
| Fellow Marine: Your marine buddies. They sometimes help you fight off aliens or guide you through a mission. Never shoot them though, doing so usually ends your mission in failure. Fellow marines often act as an early warning system. E.g. Plasma from hell rains down upon your friends indicating you should not go to where they are. Late in the marine missions they try to gun down a praetorian. Something thats always awesome to see. |
 |
| Flare Pouch: This is a flare pouch, it contains 10 phosphorous flares which are useless in lighting any area bigger than a your foot. They last 15 seconds leaving you blind in the dark while enemies kill you. |
 |
| Floor Grate: This is a one of the aliens favorite places to strike from. when you hear them bashing something be sure to check the floor your on as well, many times aliens pour from grates which you visibly get to see them pound in and from vents in the ceiling. |
 |
| Lockers: Lockers hold all sorts of goodies. Sometimes they hold ammo or armor. Most lockers are unlocked and can be opened with the use key. If they don't open with the use key try hitting them with the knife or hack the small panel on them with a charge emmiter or hacking tool. |
 |
| Medkit: Medkits hold 100 units of health and can be used by walking over them or pressing the use key on them. They remain until depleted, letting you make multiple trips. They are essential to any marine |
 |
| Memopad: Memopads serve up bits of story text and back events on the incident at LV-1201. They don't serve any other purpose in the game |
 |
| Notes: Notes are like memopads except they usually contain less back story. They're often amusing and can be worth your time to read while you recharge your battery. |
 |
| Steam: Avoid steam whenever possible. It isn't ever painful to have boiling water sprayed on you. Steam is just another one of those environmental hazards you have to watch for. |
 |
| Usable Console: Keep an eye out for these. They usually have to be activated to complete a mission objective. As a marine or predator simply press the use key on it or as an alien smash it. |
