Consumables

2023-02-08

Consumables are a selection of deployable, throwable, or otherwise usable items that, once unlocked, are generally resupplied after each use using Nanites () or Merit (), dependent on the specific item.

The number of a given consumable that can be carried in a single life varies by consumable. Most consumables allow the user to carry up to four in one life, some by default whereas others require external enhancements to reach this capacity. Consumables can only be resupplied at Infantry Terminals or upon respawn, Ammunition Packages or other such sources of ammunition will not restock a player's consumables.

All consumables are found in the grenade, utility, and tactical slots of a user's loadouts, although not all items in those slots are consumables (such as in the case of the Auxiliary Shield).

Grenade Slot

Grenades are a type of throwable consumable. After a certain amount of time has passed after being thrown, or upon contacting a surface or player, grenades trigger their effects, which range from simple damage to utility effects such as blinds, slows, revives, or healing.

Through the Advanced Specialization Program, grenades can be unlocked for use on additional classes past the standard.

Most grenade slot consumables have a default capacity of one, although their capacity can be increased by up to four times their default capacity using the Grenade Bandolier suit slot enhancement. Grenades are typically unlocked using Certification Points, although exceptions apply. Refer to individual articles for acquisition methods.

Grenades

Grenade have a default capacity of one, and affect an area around them upon detonation. Grenades use fuses, whether timed or contact-based, to determine when their effects will trigger.

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous grenade slot consumables are usable by any non-MAX infantry class. All miscellaneous grenade slot consumables currently in the game are thrown kinetic weapons, dealing only direct hit damage with no area-of-effect. They have a default capacity of two, and noticeably shorter throwing animations. Each rank of the Grenade Bandolier upgrade increases total capacity by 2.

This is the only type of grenade slot consumable that may be thrown underwater.

Miscellaneous
Name	Description	Resupply Cost
NSX Fujin	The Fujin throwing knife harbors a kinetic edge that slices through infantry defenses, and provides a precision alternative to frag grenades.	25
NSX Raijin	Three Raijin shurikens are tossed in a vertical spread, allowing their kinetic edge to strike deep into enemy armor at multiple locations.	25

Time-Limited

Time-limited grenade slot consumables are only available during certain event periods throughout the year. Similar to miscellaneous grenades, time-limited grenades have no class restriction.

Outside of their respective time periods, time-limited grenade slot consumables are entirely inaccessible, and they will be removed from loadouts automatically once the event's duration has elapsed.

Unlike other grenade slot consumables, time-limited grenades do not have their capacity affected by Grenade Bandolier.

Time-limited

Pumpkin Grenade	This weaponized pumpkin packs a punch killing space pumpkins will refill your stock of pumpkins grenade. These grenades are only available during the holiday season.	1	40

Utility Slot

The Utility Slot contains a variety of utility items and deployable equipment for players to use. The exact effect varies drastically between each item. Similarly, the capacity of each utility item is typically different to others.

Universal

Universal utility slot items are those that are available to all non-MAX infantry classes. These typically items affect the user's survivability in some way, through some form of healing.

Universal utility slot items are, as the name implies, universal. All classes benefit from the same certification, and unlocking/upgrading an item in this category applies the benefit to all classes.

Although it is not a consumable, instead being a completely passive item that cannot be held in the player's hand, Auxiliary Shield is included for completions sake, as it is still a utility slot item and is the only exception to the slot being used for consumables.

Universal
Name	Description	Resupply Cost	Capacity
Auxiliary Shield	Advanced calibration systems passively increase your maximum shield health by 50.	N/A	N/A
Medical Kit	This single-use Medical Kit instantly restores 500 health via needle-free, subcutaneous delivery of adrenaline and nanite-based coagulants.	50	1-4
Restoration Kit	This single-use Restoration Kit regenerates 70 health per second for 12 seconds through needle-free, subcutaneous delivery of adrenaline and nanite-based coagulants.	25	1-4
Infradine Link=Infradine	This single-use Infradine injector will, after a few seconds, allow the soldier to view heat signatures as if they were using an infrared scope. Lasts up to 30 seconds.	25	4

Explosives

The utility slot allows access to a selection of deployable explosives, thrown to be deployed and with varying class availability and trigger methods.

Explosives certifications are not universal, and must be unlocked individually for each class.

The Engineer can increase their capacity for utility explosives using the appropriate suit slot enhancements, either Demolitions Pouch or Mine Carrier based on the specific item.

Explosives
Name	Description	Resupply Cost	Class Availability	Capacity
Anti-Personnel Explosives	Anti-Personnel explosive mine that detonates upon detecting nearby enemy movement.	75	/	1-2
C-4	Plastic explosives capable of incredible damage to infantry, MAXes, and vehicles alike.	75	/ /	1-2
Tank Mines	User deployable anti-vehicle mine, activated by nearby enemy vehicles and MAXes.	50		1-3

Tactical Mines

Mine Carrier will increase the number of Tactical Mines the same as for Anti-Personnel Mines.

Tactical Mines
Name	Description	Resupply Cost	Faction Availability	Class Availability	Capacity
Concussion Mine	Detonates after detecting enemy movement releasing a disorienting blast that temporarily blurs enemy vision while disrupting movement control.	75		/	1-2
EMP Mine	Detects enemy movement and detonates releasing a pulse wave that destroys or disables enemy deployables, reduces infantry shields, and scrambles heads up displays.	75		/	1-2
Flashbang Mine	Detonates on enemy movement and will temporarily blind, deafen, and reduce the accuracy of infantry within its blast radius.	75		/	1-2

Deployables

The utility slot offers deployables not unlike those available to the ability slot of the Engineer, placed onto a specific location and often intended to be used defensively.
