Blood on Clothes and Weapons

[Wili 156]

Hi, it would be nice after stabbing someone with a knife for example, the knife become full of blood.

Also if you are stabbed by someone else your clothes must be full of blood, right now some players bleed like a fountain after being hit several times but the clothes remain clean.

It would be cool if you can clean blood from weapons and clothes using fountains or at lakes.

 

The bleeding could improve too making a more realistic look to the blood dripping.

Any info regarding this yet?

 

I found this reddit talking about the same:

Would be cool if they can implement it 

 

I don't really see why not. At the very least, it could be a status effect (like damp). However, I don't see why it'd not be possible to add. Add a red, translucent overlay to the texture for the item of clothing that's covering wherever's bleeding. It slowly spreads out as you bleed more. There's a few ways that this could be implemented and, as I don't know exactly how the engine works, I can't really say how this could work, but it should be pretty possible.

 

This is, however, something that I imagine would be considered in the later stages of development.
