Help with Blood Test Kits spawn

[extremenuggets 14]

After the new patch I can't seem to find any in the bedroom of the red houses that spawn used to spawn medical kits, anyone know where else they spawn or if they do spawn anymore?

99% of BTKs that I have found, was from the miltary station with the little jail by the entrance.

Oh man I agree, 140+ hours played and overall ive found like 7... how the hell are we ever supposed to actually use/take blood and knows its safe.

 

Then again they are tiny, maybe alot of us walk right by them

Well in the real world they aren't all going to be in the same kind of building all the time. They are hard to come by, but I would like to see them spawn more in hospitals.

I find them to be extremely rare, so I hoard them for me, my friends, and random people willing to give blood. I had 4 of me today until my bro needed one.

Sometimes, I wonder if the blood type thing has really worked out in the game. Because test kits are rare, I never really use blood kits.

 

Also, I never understood why you cannot give yourself a blood bag. I guess it is to force cooperation (I am pretty sure you can give yourself blood in real life), but unless you are already in a group, it takes a lot of trust to let a stranger blood bag you.

I seen at least 1 topic about it before. Use search function.

when you are safe, and have a friend nearby, take your own blood... keep it on you, and then eat/drink to regain blood.. now you have a blood bag that is 100% safe to use.

I think one blood test in each medipack would be nice.

I so agree with all of you...

;)

meh, I don't ever bother blood bagging, so I have no need to find out my blood.

Every time I've been injured to the point of needing blood, I usually have enough food and drinks on me to get to healing status and back up in no time. Or just carry a couple saline bags on me. Not as effective, but it works.

[timoseewho 23]

I have decent luck finding them in hospitals and civilian houses though I usually die before my blood type even matters lol. I've actually noticed an increased dropped rate over the last few patches.

Right now I don't don't think blood type is in working so you can use whatever blood you want.

I carry a bag of my own blood that a friend has taken from me whilst heathy.

I do the opposite, I take and carry my buddies blood, and he does the same for mine. We play together so there is no point in carrying our own blood, just to have the other person need to take it back and then IV it into you. Since you can't give it to yourself I see no reason to hang onto your own unless 1. you're playing with an odd number of people so someone needs to carry their own or 2. you're hoping some random stranger who comes along and finds you weak and needing blood will IV for you instead of punching you in the head and stealing all your shit.

A carries B's blood, who in return carries C's blood who carries A's blood...

[Sgt.Oddball 71]

That works too as long as you always play with the same people. I play with 2 groups of people though. UK folks on weeknights and US on weekends.  I did manage t get a stranger to blood bag me once. Worked out well but I wouldn't want to try it too often...

I am speechless at my stupidity.

Barely/Nobody uses the retarded blood system. Everyone just uses morphine to fix bones, death and food to restore blood.
