Utility Items

All soldiers have at least one slot that can carry a utility item. The starting Kevlar armor has only one slot, but upgrading to Predator armor will grant a second slot. Special armor suits such as EXO and Spider Suits go back to only one utility slot, in exchange for some other bonus.

Grenades

Grenades can be carried by any class, but Grenadiers particularly excel with them, because they can launch them with extended range with their Grenade Launchers. Grenades are carried in the Utility slot, but Grenadiers also have an extra equipment slot that can only be used for a grenade.

Flashbangs are particularly useful against special enemies such as psionics. The disorientation effect prevents the use of most special abilities, including psionics, and will cut short any ongoing psionic effect such as Reanimate or Mind Control.

  • Medikits heal soldiers. Specialists with Medic Protocol can deploy medikits remotely with their Gremlins. They are upgraded to Nanomedikits with Viper autopsy.
