Questions about controls
Going to be honest here, I've never played this game until now. Definitely heard of it when it came out but never got around to playing it. That being said I am confused on some of the controls. Is it possible to shoot any gun from the jet ski thing? If so, how? I am playing with an Xbox controller. Is there any way to restore health through your inventory? (not that you really have one). Like are there health packs I can heal myself with while in combat other than the ones in crates and on the wall? Lastly, how do I equip the crowbar once I have guns? Or is that not possible?

The airboat gets its own mounted gun later

You only heal from healthpacks you pick up in your immediate area, or medical units on the wall. You can't store medical supplies in any way.

On controller the D-pad can be used to switch weapons. Down should be for the crowbar.

Welcome at the club.

Is it possible to shoot any gun from the jet ski thing?
No. For using regular weapon you must mount off the hovercraft.

Is there any way to restore health through your inventory?
No. You have to find health packs during walkthrough. You can't store them for later use. They are immediately applied when found. Same appeals for energy cells.

Hint: Look for Lambda signs. They indicate places of additional supplies. Finding all Lambda signs is a achievement task.

Like are there health packs I can heal myself with while in combat other than the ones in crates and on the wall?
No. But sometimes you may have health and energy stations at walls.

Lastly, how do I equip the crowbar once I have guns? Or is that not possible?
i don't use a controller. but there should be an option to toggle through the weapon menu.

Some other tips for controller: Use the Cross layout (which is probably the default), since you can access all your weapons much easier that way (Carousel layout is so baffling, idk why they added it). Also, pressing your shoot button (RT by default) makes the weapon cross menu go away quicker, and if you do it quickly while your weapon is still being drawn, this won't make you shoot.
