Potions
Potions are special pre-prepared substances that offer the player character certain useful restorative effects.
Health potion
The Health potion is used for healing wounds the player character had accumulated during the course of a mission. In gameplay terms, they restore the bar in the health indicator part of the HUD. Health potions are not usable when the player character's health is already at full capacity.
Players can buy health potions in the pre-mission shop offered before some missions, or find it in various locations during the course of a mission (they tend to be fairly plentiful, especially in human dwellings and their storerooms). Rationing health potions and using them when most needed is important, especially in missions that offer little or no health potions, or little to no opportunities to replenish their numbers.
