Why have the option to pick up dead soldiers if they don't revive when extracted?

[The Real GOW]

I found out you can pick up your dead teammates but when i got extracted they were still KIA i understand maybe you want to take them out of combat to revive them on the field in a safe place but then why allow you to pick them up and then finish the mission if you can't even have them be revived after you finish?

If you have to evac without completing the mission, you will lose any gear your dead soldiers had - unless you carry their bodies out.

i did i finished the misson, on the first mission 1 unit fell so i picked her up and had someone else plant the X4 charges then we were extracted then when it showed the after game screen it had their portrait with KIA.....

Because, they are still dead. say if you have soldiers with alien ruler armor, and they die. you have to pick them up to get their gear back

The first mission isn't and evac mission it just ends, on missions where you must evac if you leave a dead soldier on the ground and they have unique gear it is gone forever. The only case where you can save a down soldier is if you evac them while in bleed out mode.

Because you never leave your fallen.

You can leave your Eye talians or Frenchees but no one else. ( this is a joke for those who do not get humor). If you team mate dies you can not heal them out of game. The only time you can is if you have the revive ability, and then you would have to carry them to the evac site.

But if you are doing the first mission and lose a team mate you may want to start over and rethink your tactics. As this is the easiest mission on any level of play.

Hope that helps and clarifys it for you.

yeah hauling them out allows you to recover various items like modded weapons, and utility items.

but no. dead people don't magically be revived at your base, theres no ressurection priest you pay 100 gold per level to to raise your fallen.
