The majority of the time when I drop this then stand/crouch over it nothing happens! It doesn't stop the bleeding like it's meant to then I enjoy a nice needless, slow, annoying death.

Why?

Works for me, got to stay over for a couple seconds though.

I do.

I get it to work, however I have noticed that as rifleman you can reload the bandage from a kit bag you've thrown on the floor and then throw another bandage down, for it to work maybe 50% of the time maximum.

i have the same problem some times, only use it on solid ground. the bandage has a tendence to sink through the ground if you chuck it on some wood or some other objct between you and the earth making it impossible to heal your self.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, it doesn't always show the healing thingy.

When you throw it down, DO NOT get on top of it. Toss it out in front of you and be sure that you stay a bit away from it.. it will work EVERY time when you are beside it. IT will many times not work when you are ON TOP of it.... and often you will push it thru the floor..

I think the fact that it is self-administered field dressing is why you aren't able to heal up all the time. I mean if you just took 2 rounds to the chest, throwing some bandages on it isn't going to stop the bleeding...

I think it's one of the most realistic parts of this mod! It buys you some time for a real medic to get to you if you're really messed up.

with the same principle using a defibrillator after getting 2 rounds in the chest would do nothing.

thats right, throw it infront of you.

you'll see 2 packs, one sinking into the ground and one staying on the ground.

wait 2 or 3 seconds, then walk or crouch over it.

Sometimes the healing sign (+) will show and other times it won't.

Sometimes you may haveto use more than one. (i once had to use 5 to stop bleeding)

you only get one chance to use it though

stealing enemy band aids, thats how you survive the Viking way!

^ thats usually the reason y it doesnt work

also when im on a bit of health, i chuck the badge down, the icon appears w/ the sound but i still bleed and then die
tht happened to any1

read my last post, wher eit says you might have to use more than one.

It only gives you a small amount of health, if your totally wasted it just extends your life for a while till you can snag a medic. Walk over it in a crouch back and forth to get it to react instead of standing still over it. Don't forget to offer yours to a squadmate if he needs an extra, each life lost is a ticket lost for your team.

yep exactly johnny, the field dressing gives you only about 25% health back, that only helps when you´ve barely bleeding, playing as a medic a lot, you can see the healthbar increase when someone who bleeds uses it, it really aint helps thaaat much

Its fine how it is. What does need to change is the fact that they sometimes fall through floors in buildings and almoast anywhere on USMC carriers.

Oh, and the little medical sign that comes up, allowing yo to rush an enemy at the right time.

i think this is actually a vbf2 engine cliping issue, happens sometimes with ammobags too - dont think that the devs could fix that

Yeah, i thought that may be the case. Ah well, what can ye do?

Sometimes when you throw a bandage on the ground you break the sterile envelope, rendering it useless.
