Buildings cannot be repaired!
you’re gonna wanna use your commander’s special ability or send a “medic”.
Most units have special abilities, e.g.
human infantry - Marines - once you upgrade them, they can throw grenades.
In contrast to other strategy games, you do not select specific units via keyboard shortcuts.
InHalo Wars 2all your units use the same button - “R” - to perform an action.
Your commander’s special abilitiesare another unique feature.
You will also have to decide where you want to activate the selected ability.
This does not refer to passive abilities, as they are active all the time, e.g.
There are 4 types of units in the game: infantry, vehicles, flying units and structures.
Each unit has its own weak and strong points.
The green icon means that the unit is effective against t specific hostile troops.
The red one indicates which troops it is going to be less effective against.
The yellow one indicates balanced attack and defense.
If the icon is grey, the given unit cannot deal damage, e.g.
the UNSC sniper can easily eliminate hostile infantry but will not attack vehicles or flying units.
During missions and multiplayer duals,your troops will gain experience.
You will notice a bar above such units and a number will define their current exp.
level.One should watch out for such troops, as they are more effective and can deal more damage.
You won’t come across specific statistics that describe attack value, armor or health bar.
The experience that you gain will show how effective are given units.
During the campaign, you will be able to test each troop that UNSC has to offer.
Some units can use a shield - an additional white bar right under your health bar.
It’s best to place such troops in the front line, as they can take more damage.
