I got shot, could not work out how to stop bleeding

[thelonewarrior 886]

I got hit twice with a rifle of some kind, fled and used 2-3 bandages, painkillers and a morphine injection and I still bled out from around 8000 blood to 0.

So what was I meant to do to stop the bleeding?

I read bandages are suppoed to stop it, but nothing worked

Right click on the bandage and use it. You have to wait until the animation of him applying the bandage is done and then you will stop bleeding. Morphine is if you break your leg and painkillers is for when you are shaking.

yes it did the animation, 2 times and i had used 2 bandages yet I bled out from 8000 to 0 and I died over some time, it just kept bleeding

You have to stand still long enough for the bandaging to complete.. it's not instant. and if you get hit while bandaging i believe it cancels the process

Yep did that, was hiding in a corner used a bandage waited a few mins, kept bleeding, used another, watched animation for bandage, then died and was still bleeding

bandaging is alright, you just had some bad luck
