System	Description	Tactical Info
Grenade Launcher	MECs can make for their lack of thrown grenade capability with a long-range grenade launcher.	*Launches grenades much further than an unmodified soldier can throw them *Uses regular grenades, but will automatically upgrade to alien grenades if that technology is developed in the Foundry *2 grenades carried, each deals 4 damage
Restorative Mist	Medikits require fine motor control; instead, the MEC can spray Restorative Mist to heal all nearby allies.	*Releases a cloud of mist that heals, similar to the Medikit *Affects all nearby allies instead of a single target *Single use only, heals 4 HP to all units in the cloud

The Grenade Launcher's damage can be increased from 4 to 5 through the Alien Grenade Foundry project.
Restorative Mist can also be upgraded from 4 to 6 HP healing through the Improved Medikit project.
The Expanded Storage MEC Trooper ability increases the number of grenades and mist uses by 1, to a total of 3 grenades and 2 restorative mists.
Grenade Launcher is similar to the aliens' Bombard ability.
Restorative Mist includes self and units in Area of Effect. Does not stabilize critically wounded soldiers.
