Auto recover when unconscious?

[brazorf 46]

I've just been shot, on my legs, and fell unconscious. I was about to hit "respawn", when

my character stood up, vision black and white. I tried to apply some bandages, then i fell unconscious again...

and then wake up again. 

 

My clothes and stuff were ruined on my legs, but the rest of my inventory was full and untouched. Now,

 

1) the guy who shot me used a defibrillator on me

2) in some case you can auto recover from unconsciousness?

If you go unconscious it takes about 1-3min to "wake up". Atleast for me and my friends ;).

Lol, seems like i missed something important here. So i've got two more questions

 

- i injected an epi pen, just to be sure not to fall again. did i waste it?

- how to tell a dead enemy from an unconscious one?

You will recover after a while unconscious. Time depends, however i've experienced 10 minute unconsciousness before i woke up.

 

Normally you need get get a defib on you, OR Epi-pen & saline bag.

To be sure if the person is really dead or just unconscious you can look at him and scroll with your mouse. If the "hide body" is shown, hes definitely dead.

It is the shock that put you down, it can take a few seconds for you to wake up. Use epi pen on your friends if they are in shock.

Alright, all these are vague descriptions of the unconsciousness phenomena.

The medic shall take over from here. ;D

First of all, unconsciousness has several different causes. The most common is blood loss.

When your blood level drops to 200, you will be knocked unconscious. You will continue to bleed, unless bandaged. If you are bandaged, energized and hydrated, you will regenerate your own blood and wake up after aprox. 20 min - 1 hour of unconsciousness. If you are given saline, it will wake you up, due to increase in blood level.

The second type of unconsciousness is shock.

When your shock levels (gained from taking damage) goes above your blood levels, you are knocked unconscious.

You should wake up quickly in this situation, as shock levels reduce naturally. Epinephrine should also wake you up, possibly a defib but I have not tested that yet.

Hope that clears things up! :D

Ok, so i think i were definitely knocked out by shock (wonder why he didnt finish me).

What is not clear to me, is whether it makes sense using an epi pen on myself, after recover.

No you should absolutely not use it on yourself when awake. It's used by a friend to be applied on you when "unconscious".

If you went unconscious because of blood loss, you'll be down until you either bleed out or someone epi-pens you or bandages you, and you regain enough blood to get past the consciousness threshold. This is why it's always a good idea to be fully hydrated and energized where possible.

 

If your shock level surpasses your blood level, you'll go unconscious (hits to the head seem to do this easily.) Once your shock value is lower than your blood again, you will wake up. Shock decreases relatively quickly.

 

This is how it worked since I last checked but I could be wrong.
