Ok, so I'm in San Mona with my squad of six people and I'm about to blow a few holes into Kingpin and his goons so I get attacked by civillians and I wanna steal their stuff how do I go about doing it? I've never seen anyone actually steal and how do you do it? Can you choose what item to steal? Does it always work? Oh and btw I heard from walkthroughs that there are TANKS in the game, I've never been able to complete JA2 so please be noob friendly Smile

I believe you use the hand / grab icon on a person . try it anyway , seems to make sense .

I tried stealing but nothing happened...? I used the hand on a dying enemy and I wasn't able to get anything.

You can steal from enemy from behind with high Dex, but not take his gun, else she/he notice it. Cost 14 AP.
Tip for easier stealing: open your inventory, dont know why, but it works better.

So how is stealing calculated? Is it more successful if they're in the Dying state?

It can't be done in dying state.

This should answer most questions regarding stealing: http://ja2guides.wikidot.com/stealing
The guide is written for 1.13 though. In official versions stealing is a bit bugged. I think it was fixed in 1.07 but I'm not sure.

Stealing is awesome. If you don't play with dropall, I highly recommend it. In fact, try this: don't buy any equipment at the start of the game. When you land in Omerta, melee and steal all your equipment from the starting enemies. It's fun!

Be careful, if you steal all of an enemies' items, it will load your inventory. If your hands are empty at the moment (after you just punched the enemy down), their gun will be placed in your hands, and their inventory and armor will occupy all your empty slots. This may force you to spend APs to drop items, if you're not careful.

Damn I knew that option with the tanks was just wishful thinking...it was offer, but I guess it doesn't work. Would be nice to park two tanks infront of the palace...MMMMM...or just take them outside of Meduna and use them for the final push. Reminds me of Full Metal Jacket.

That is just wild. We've had so much trouble getting tanks modified and here you roll in with US in tanks.
