Hey guys!

So my friend and I are playing Brink and I have to say that I like the game a lot even through its glitchyness. One problem we're having though is figuring out how to use each Class's abilities. For example as the Soldier, I can't for the life of me figure out how to equip a molotov or give people or myself ammo. There are keys (default 3, 4, 5) for "use ability" but they don't seem to do anything. What am I missing?

If its just a matter of binding the correct keys, can someone tell me exactly what they're called and in which menu grouping (movement, shooting etc.) cause I can't find anything other than the use ability bindings.

If its a gameplay mechanic, is there supposed to be a way you can tell when you CAN give ammo or support others? I hit the keys once during a battle and got a +1 for assisting, but I have no clue what I did (didn't see any ammo or anything being given).

Thanks!

For grenade-type things like Molotovs and Flashbangs, first press the button corresponding it. Then, press the 'grenade' button to throw it. If you don't have anything highlighted, it will chuck a regular grenade, but if you have the Molotov, it will chuck the Molotov instead.
For giving other peeps ammo, just simply walk up to them and press the appropriate button to give them some ammo. If you want to hand over something else like Kevlar for example, press one of the keys to equip the kevlar and just hand it over to someone like if you were giving ammo.

Ok got it figured out thanks!

If anyone else runs into this issue, simply click on Dossiers in the main menu then Training and watch the HUD training video. It can also be found on youtube by searching for Brink HUD Training
