Food can be traded or looted, and never spoils. If food is not ingested in time, the character will proceed to more ravenous hunger and lose more life over time. A fork and dish icon will appear in the lower right of your main HUD.

Over the course of the day, the character will become hungry and require an intake of food. Bandages are sold from Zone traders and should be the first item you loot from a corpse or stash. Unless bandages (with quick-coagulant) is applied, you will die instantly from a hemmorage (unlike Homer Simpson). Light bleeding may stop over time, but that only occurs during the easiest of difficulties and only from the lightest wounds.īleeding can lead to hemmoraging, which is denoted by the red or deep red bleeding icon. The only two things stop bleeding (normally) - bandages and blue (army) medikits. If you are injured, you will notice that there is a 'bleeding' marker on your lower right hand HUD.īleeding means your character slowly loses health over time as you lose vital hemoglobin.

Chances are you might've shot someone by accident while playing around with the keyboard controls (optimizing them).
