<div class="IPBDescription">Share the damn welder!</div> I've just had possibly the SINGLE most irritating experience so far this week. I was packing HA, HMG and welder. Everyone else was in HA, HMG, Pistol configuration (yes, it was pretty late in the game). Everyone in HA was screaming for Welding in the middle of a firefight (occasionally worth it, but only occasionally... if you're up to your knees in Skulks and Fades, it's generally better to concentrate fire and fix people up at the end).
So, the gunsmoke clears and I start welding people. I've got 'em all genned back up, my armour's down to about 30, so I chuck down the welder, and ask someone to pick it up and weld me.
They mill. They say "I don't have a welder". I say "I've put it on the floor, please weld me".
They plod off. Down the corridor. So I start asking people by name "Come back pick up the welder at me feet and WELD ME please!"
About a minute later, a Fade bilebombs me in my face, killing me, losing my HMG, and piddling away a perfectly good suit of HA that a little listening, and a little teamwork could have saved.
HMG.... 26 resource.
Heavy Armour.... 24 resource.
Welder.... 12 resource.
Being a prat and wasting it all because you can't be bothered to weld your team-mates - Pricey.
Gah!
This also turns around: If you're the only person in HA, then... duhhh.... don't pick up the welder, Clyde. You want your little zippy buddy behind you squirting tasty, healthy nanites all over you. What're you gonna do with it? You can't nanite your own knee!
A little thought, people. That's all I ask.
I'm going for a lie down, now.
