1st off when I purchase fire grenade I'm not sure how to switch to it.
Clicking on it doesn't switch it.
2nd: When I hit X while gun is equipped a red aura surrounds me,
what does this do?

The fire grenade works like the normal grenades, it's just a nastier version. You can throw it by shift right clicking with the mouse on the lower weapon. Question 2 I don't know.
Any way to switch to fire grenade using a controller?
I think the red aura is a shield, but I'm not 100% sure... it doesn't last long enough to be particularly useful.
Korbe, switch to it by switching to your secondary (flame thrower/cannon) and then hit shit (or whatever acts like that for your controller).
You can check your controller set up in the options.
Wolfhound, the red shield lets you charge over your opponents. While you have it up, you can run them over and they go flying. It won't do much for you if you are ATTACKED though.
That red aura needs to last longer & you should be invincible while on.(& no knockdowns)
It does cuts down on damage taken, so it is useful under some conditions. But it should be useable with speed run, so you could run through the battlefield just knocking everyone over--- like the orc chargers.
Yeah, I went in-game and checked after posting... not a shield, more a basher-effect. :cool:Quote:

Not that useful since all they have to do is attack you and you'll be knocked over instead of sending them flying. That's why it should be possible to use it with the speed dash power of jet fuel.
Yeah, that'd be handy, and I was disappointed when I figured out it was one or the other, that they don't stack.Quote:

I use the rifle. At the start of the elf archer levels, I jet pack up to them (zig zagging in case they are targetting me), and smash them in melee. When they respawn, I just use the rifle. The central tree trunk isn't "real", so you can shoot right through it. That means you don't lose your position, allowing you to do whatever you want from the archer's perches.
I don't like the red aura because you are vulnerable to any attack while using it. The elves on the ground can attack you in the archers perchers if they stand in the right places. With the rifle, I blast those elves below away while blasting the elf archers respawning.
