5-second rule: eating food off of the ground

Recommended Posts

A lot of DayZ survival is about making trade-offs where you weigh risk and reward.

 

Right now, if you choose to open a can of food with a sharp object other than a can opener you drop some food on the ground and end up with a partial container of food at 75% +/-.  You eat, but you don't get as much as you would if you found a can opener.

 

Suggestion:

Give players the option of eating the spilled food but include a low chance that they will get an infection from doing it.  Desperate players already eat rotten fruit even though that makes them sick.  Why not throw in a little more risk & reward?
