Grenades - help
Hello,
I can't seem to select grenades as a weapon during game play. Even though they are in my loadout, I cannot pick them doing the "scroll" for weapons. I also don't see an assigned key, and the manual [digital download version] was less than helpful.
Any help out there for an old man who plays computer games?

Re: Grenades - help
You have to press the key you use to change fire modes till grenades come up.. it's a pretty annoying system. You can tell by the circular crosshair (and the grenades appearing where your weapon name was..)
(edit) default key is F to cycle through them, as far as I know."It's nothing to do with Stalker, really"

Chernobyl's correct, select 'F' to cycle through your immediate weapon modes, including selecting hand grenades.
The reasoning, I presume, is that you won't pack up your primary weapon to throw a grenade. Instead, the animation actually has you lowering your weapon to grab a grenade and throw it.

Yeah, but like every thing in AA (and OP:F) it's a laborious as possible collection of keypresses =)

LOL! You got that right!
Plus...switching weapons when I'm in a firefight sends me into "bullet time" where I'm waiting for eleventy-billion seconds for my dude to get his weapon ready.

Re: Grenades - help
Thanks for the replies and help; I'll have to try it out.
I changed my keys since I try to use the same from game to game, so I know I changed the "F" key. I want to use the same key that switches from semi to auto right, and it will select the grenade eventually [I am in the salt mines, so I can't try it out yet].
