I’m running along with my best buddies, when all of a sudden we see a target! Everyone rushes in but Oh No! I catch a long duration immobilize.
No problem guys! I came prepared!
I brought the MEDKIT.
So I reach into my bag full of wondrous medical supplies, (My favorite makes me run faster.. Don’t ask what’s in it. ) and whip out an antidote.
An antidote will fix me right up!
So I take it out of my bag and throw it a few centimeters in front of me.

I stand there, imobilized in shame, staring at my failure of a cure in front of me.
Help… I say, and my warrior buddy comes back to see what’s wrong.
He looks at the antidote, then at me, and laughs.
Finally, he tells me to just shake it off, and I walk past my unused antidote to join the rest.

I’m not a smart engineer, apparently.

I don’t think that’s a bug... but it would be nice to be able to use med4 to remove immobilized from yourself, so I wouldn’t mind a ’fix’

If it dropped right on you then you would need to walk backwards if you wanted to drop it for someone else.

Ideally you would be able to activate medkit drops using the interact key within ~100 range as well as activate them by running over them physically.

Yeah that would be great

No matter how fast you run, you always ‘eat’ them while moving in a straight line.
Yet you can never simply use one while standing still…

Very odd design here.

1. You take it out of the bag.
2. you manually put it in front of you (watch the animation)
3. you can’t reach it????

simple solution, so you can still put them on the ground as use yourself when immobilized:

one click: consume
double click: put on ground for others

or simply use them once dropped, but that would be too logical (so what yukishiro said)

Yeah currently the medkit is a bit meh for immobilize. If I’m using that for conditions, I’ll keep rocket boots on as well (rifle can clear it too iirc, but not stun).

There are a lot of kinks to work out for Engies, that’s for sure.

we’re engineers, if only they would allow us to tinker on it ourselves… but no: they have to play it stubborn and really want to do it themselves!
