Which takes effect faster, a bloodbag or a bandage?

[Gashed 16]

My friend is bleeding out FAST and I need to know whether to bloodbag him first or bandage him. Which one of the two has the shortest animation/delay?

Edit: he has less than 1k blood.

EDIT2: Bloodbagged first, good thing too. The bandage does 1 extra "Tick" after the animation has finished, so if I had done that he would have died.

Thanks everyone except MONSTER, the tryhard.

use a bandage first to stop the bleeding...

then give him a blood transfusion.

if you dont stop the bleeding he may pass out and bleed out... this way he wont die if he passes out

also bandage is shorter animation i believe

I failed in that exact same situation with a bandage, my advice to go with the blood bag. Not sure about the animation/delay time though.

Good luck ;)

Bandage stops leaking,Blood bag gets full health,but you need other survivor for doing it.If you are one-man army,stick to hunting.

Either will get the job done with 1k blood. I'd go with whichever option shows up first.

The best way to save him when he's that low is you go hunting yourself, cook meat, have him reconnect and give him the meat. Eating has the shortest animation time to bring back blood and cooked meat restores blood 800 points at a time. Have him eat a couple cooked meat peices and then bandage him that way you'll be assured you have enough time before he bleeds out.

But there's always a downside. If you're not proficient yet and the inventory system, it may wind up taking longer than just bandaging him. Either way, less than 1 k is pretty damn close to not having enough time to bandage him.

Lol @ this thread.

Instead of faffing about with making him disconnect and wait for the answers to come to you both like a blinking lightbulb; how about you just let him die in a secluded area, guard his gear until he comes back to get it?

I guess you missed the part about bleeding out fast. It's probably not an option, and my guess is he's stuck out in the open somewhere. Chances are he's NOT bleeding out in the middle of the woods unless the rare rabbit "dragon" attacked him again..

lol@ your logic?

Lol@ your lolling@ my logic?

Then it's his fault he got into that position in the first place. Just bandage yourself for goodness sake. And I'm guessing from your post that you aren't with him? Then he doesn't have the ability to gain any blood from a transfusion because it takes two to tango.

Maybe if you find him you could transfuse him while he bandages himself? Oooh, good idea. Way to think for yourself.

Seriously, there is only two options here and two people working together to get the problem solved. Did doing both never cross your mind?

LOL @ YOUR MOTHER FUCKING LOGIC.

That is all.

Now for some context, Mr Know It All.

He was fired upon. He returned fire, but his attacker instantly ALT+F4'd. My friend didn't. He fell unconscious and then aborted (AFTER his attacker disconnected). He is in the middle of a very dangerous area (Stary) and he's trying to survive as long as possible and has some very decent gear (Currently 9 days playtime). And, since on occasion bodies randomly de-spawn, too risky. Now stop making assumptions and using pink text. Trying way too hard.

A buddy and I were in this situation once after hatcheting a sniper and his spotter to death, lol. To the point, I started to slap a blood transfusion on him immediately and it hit him at literally 50 blood, then I bandaged him. The reason I went with the transfusion was because there were still zombies wandering around.

Think about what is most important (best) for any given situation.

I've bled out at 34 days. Days of play time mean nothing as they are real time days, not days at the keyboard.

At 9 days, he should be proficient at:

1. Having some fucking supplies for first aid

2. How blood and health works.

Bandage to stop bleeding. Apply meat, in extreme cases, copious quantities of canned food, or blood bags to restore health.

Do you know what happens if under 8K blood? Do you know at what point running might make you pass out?

Things to learn.

Good luck.

I don't buy this, your friend alt f4'd after being shot at. Stop lying, how can he have been shot at and be able to return fire with that little blood left, unless they shot him to like 8k blood then he just sat there without a bandage watching his blood drop until he goes unconcious. Your friend deserves to bleed out for being an alt f4 fgt.

And why is everyone trying to help these guys that are abusing the alt f4 exploit? You guys really buying his story? Getting shot to the point where you'd gonna bleed to death but still isn't unconcious and able to return fire? wtf?

Imo you should do the bandage first cause some times blood tranfustion requires a Morphine pen first. So I don't recommend bother with the blood.

I laugh at the omnipotent stupidity in this thread. The people who use colored text are also hilarious.

He was shot. He fired at the guy who fired at him. After he hit the attacker the attacker alt+f4'd. My friend was using a FAL, so a single shot is pretty lethal from it. My friend turned on the spot to fire at his attacker, WITH LOW BLOOD. The second he stepped forward to go for cover he fell unconscious. And little kids like you, using the word "Faggot" as an insult is what is wrong with society, and gaming.

Stop being a homophobe and acting like a 12 year old.
