Hi there rodrigo, welcome to the forum

To pick up an alien, you have to stand over it. As it is only incapacitated and not dead, you have to force move your trooper by pressing the M key, and right click on the square with the alien in it. Once you are standing over the alien, enter your inventory to put away your weapon. You will see the alien on the ground, just pick it up into your arms.

You can only pick up human sized enemies though, the bigger mutations are too big and heavy for you to lift.

Hope that helps

It's Auto Pickup; When the Transgenant have a RED bar HP or you can still aim to kill them, even when they are down (injured).

At the end of the Mission you'll have it in your inventory collected.

Hello
I have a trouble with this. I tell them to go there with the "M" button but they just say "I cant find a way" or something like that..

Please help me with this, or I will go crazy

Remember that you can only pick up the small aliens. If they cover more than one square you can't pick them up.

The thing is, i have to get a transgenerant (whats the name?) for research, but on the mission there only is large aliens that I cant pick up, like carcrabs and gobbers.
What should I do?

"What should I do ?"

@Parasight:
To retrieve those aliens and transgenants you are unable to pickup or carry, you need to resort to a small subterfuge: kill or incapacitate all the enemies in the map.

Once the enemy presence is completely eradicated, the mission will be over and the corpses automatically recovered.

Thank you! Well, I feel kinda stupid, but i got a bit confused by the briefings.
Thanks again, and Aftermath is one of the funniest game ever!

[blehm]

well, i have never picked them up and done it that way, i instead stun or kill everything and finish the mission that way
too much time to pick them up and one soldier carrying an alien=one unarmed soldier= - one weapon

I'll add a little to this It can help in later missions to kidnap aliens...

If you need Sky armour for example and run out of ammo.. it happens!! knock out alien, grab him and forfeit mission and you'll get the alien and anything your soldiers are carrying back to base. Allowing you to access the armour..

One thing tho.. if you have no weapon equiped why do you still get the attack cursor? Or cant you actually punch something to death? I've never tried that..need to try it on a flapper...

This is okay as far as it goes. What MOUSE or KEYBOARD action do you take to "...just pick it up into your arms"?

NO. The mission explicitly states that aliens must be picked up
and carried to a designated area on the map.
