Battpack buying.

If you are not using enery weapon, it wouldnt let you buy battpack. Noobs buy battpack cause they think its better, and they dont know what is energy weapon.

Sometimes you've gotta let kids make their own mistakes. If they learn this by themselves they'll be better players for it.

Also, it can be useful to buy a backpack when you're wearing something like a chaingun, just to store credits.

It's an attractive accessory, who cares about functionality?

People: The battery back does not make the painsaw more effective. Don't lettem pull your leg.
I have retired from Tremulous. Definetely. If you play a game just because it has become a habit, but u'r only feeling like a kindergarten teacher - well, maybe I am just getting too old (hell, I was a teenager when DukeNukem3D was *new*) - it's probably not a bad idea to just let it be. And I do.

Don't take this personally. Have fun, guys.

It's basic knowledge.  They just forgot to put it in the manual because they thought it was an unfair advantage.

I tested it. If you use psaw with a battpack you will NEVER run out of ammo.

Moose left out the best part. Not only does a bat-pack give you infinite ammo for both the p-saw AND the blaster, it also turns the saw into a portable medi-station for humans. Equipping a bat-pack/ p-saw combo will allow you to act much like a Medic in TF2. Just get close enough to touch a teammate with the blade while holding down primary fire. When you hear them grunting, that means it's healing.

I can't tell you how many rounds I've saved just by saw-packing my teammates from behind while they were defending against an Alien Rush.

Alas, poor trolled traveler. The things that were said before venkman were in general not lies, but merely misleading. With venkman and onwards, reality disagrees.
