Functionality
When called in, the Supply Pack arrives fully stocked with four resupply boxes. Each of these functions the same as a resupply box from the Resupply stratagem, though it does not benefit from the Superior Packing Methodology ship module upgrade. Pressing the "Interact" button on a teammate (PC default press E, PlayStation default press X) will resupply their ammunition, stims, and grenades in the same fashion. The Supply Pack can also be used by its wearer to resupply their own stocks, this is done by pressing the "Use Backpack Function" button (PC default press 5, PlayStation default press D-Pad Down).
The Supply Pack can only be refilled by picking up a supply box from the Resupply stratagem. One Resupply box will refill one box on the Supply Pack, regardless of whether or not the Superior Packing Methodology upgrade has been unlocked. Stray Ammo Boxes, Grenade Cases, and Stim Crates found within a mission cannot refill the Supply Pack. Refilling the Supply Pack will also refill the wearer's other supplies as normal.
Tactical Information
- The primary utility of the Supply Pack is to be able to provide supplies to oneself and to teammates on the move, without having to call down the Resupply stratagem. This can be particularly useful when the team is split up in such a way that a Resupply stratagem cannot be used by all teammates, or a team member has a particularly ammo-hungry weapon that needs to be constantly replenished.
- The number of supply boxes carried in the Supply Pack is visible on the wearer's back. This makes it easy to visually keep track of how many spare supplies are on hand.
- It is most supply-efficient to carry supply-hungry equipment alongside the Supply Pack, such as the Engineering Kit or Med Kit Armor Passives, or the Grenade Pistol. This way, refilling the Supply Pack from a Resupply will help to top off the increased threshold for maximum Grenades and Stims on Engineering Kit and Med Kit armor, respectively.
- Keep track of your team's supply situation to see when they need a resupply.
- When their supply icon in the lower-left corner of the HUD is flashing red, it means they are low in that category. If it is solid red, they are fully depleted. However, be aware that the backpack icon status may be misleading in the case of backpacks like the Shield Generator Pack and Jump Pack, which are not crew weapon ammunition backpacks.
- You can also visually confirm how much reserve ammunition certain support weapons like the Spear or Autocannon have by looking at their backpacks.
- Be strategic about calling in a Resupply and picking up supply boxes, keeping teammates' needs in mind.
- As with normally calling down Resupply, it is ideal to do so when the team is not in immediate combat. This not only allows teammates to refill their supplies at their leisure, but also grants an opportunity to replenish the Supply Pack without depriving teammates of supplies. Effective communication is key.
- Because a supply box refills your supplies while also adding a box to the Supply Pack, it is doubly efficient to pick up a Resupply box to refill your supplies and then directly resupply teammates. However, be aware of whether or not Superior Packing Methodology has been unlocked, as giving a teammate a resupply from the Supply Pack will give them less ammo for their support weapon than if they picked up a box from the Resupply Hellpod themselves. Be mindful of the situation, and communicate with teammates prior to taking more than one supply box.
- After the team is finished resupplying, pick up the remaining supply boxes from the Resupply Hellpod to replenish your Supply Pack. It is better to carry supplies with a team member in a known location than to leave the boxes strewn around where they may never be found or used again.
- If a team's supplies are low in a situation where the Resupply stratagem is not enough, and the Supply Pack stratagem is off cooldown, it can be useful to call down another Supply Pack in a pinch. Refill everyone's supplies with the currently-equipped Supply Pack to deplete it, and then replace it with a fresh one via calldown.
- Keep in mind that the cooldown time for the Supply Pack is significantly longer than that for a Resupply, so this should only be done in emergencies.
- As with other backpack stratagems, calling in a spare one for a teammate who has an empty backpack slot can benefit the team as a whole. Two players with the ability to carry supply boxes around and resupply their teammates can significantly augment the team's overall robustness, though both backpacks still need to be refilled individually from Resupply calldowns.
