Info
The field dressing (bandage) is used when you or your teammate is bleeding or incapacitated. Every kit has two field dressings, except the Medic, which has nine.
Overview
Applying a field dressing to a bleeding teammate stops the bleeding; applying the field dressing to an incapacitated teammate revives him back to low health. In both cases, a medic with a medic bag needs to bring the teammate back to full health.
How to Apply a Field Dressing
To apply a field dressing to your teammate:
- Select the field dressing from the equipment menu.
- Walk up to your bleeding or incapacitated teammate.
- Aim at your teammate.
- Click and hold LMB.
To apply a field dressing to yourself:
- Select the field dressing from the equipment menu.
- Click and hold RMB.
If you run out of field dressings, you can resupply at an ammo crate near a FOB at a cost of 5 ammo points per field dressing.
The bandaging animation goes as follows:
- The player who is doing the bandaging touches the bleeding or incapacitated player several times.
- He rips open the sterile bag and rolls out the bandage to full size.
- He applies the bandage to his teammate.
- After several seconds of holding the bandage against his teammate's body, his teammate springs back to life at low health.
The bandaging animation as applied to yourself is somewhat shorter.
- You rip open the sterile bag and roll it out.
- You quickly wrap the bandage around your forearm.
- Your bleeding stops when you put your arm back down.
Medics go through the bandaging animations much faster than other kits, reflecting their medical expertise.
