Consumables are items that improve characteristics, repair modules, and heal crew members of a vehicle in battle. Consumables are cheaper than equipment and work for any vehicle, but, if used in combat, they are gone at the end of the battle and have to be resupplied.
Types of Consumables
Consumables come in two forms: Standard Consumables and Improved Consumables.
You can carry up to three different consumables in a single tank. While you cannot carry two identical consumable items, you can carry a Standard consumable and its premium counterpart, e.g., the Small Repair Kit and Large Repair Kit. By default, consumables are activated by pressing keys 4, 5, or 6, depending on the consumable desired (unless the hot keys have been remapped).
Standard consumables improve battle performance and are quite cheap.
Improved consumables are far more effective and provide additional bonuses, but cost a significant amount of credits.
The Repair Kit, First Aid Kit, and Fire Extinguisher are reusable during a battle; when activated, the consumable has a cooldown (90 seconds for the standard and 60 seconds for the improved one), after which it is ready for reuse. You will have to resupply the consumable if you use it in battle, no matter how many times it was activated. All other consumables are activated automatically; they provide an effect within one battle and are gone at the end of it.
Each consumable has different operating principles, so study them carefully before equipping them.
