The Box of Bandages is a sealed carton of clean cloth bandages. It opens into twelve clean Bandages.
It is a strong find for any survivor who expects to fight. Twelve clean Bandages can cover many wounds, and each one can be washed and used again. The box itself is uncommon, though loose Bandages are easy to find.
The box is found as loot in survivor safehouses and medical buildings. The Doctor is the best occupation for bandages. It starts with the most First Aid skill. The Nurse and the Park Ranger also start with some First Aid skill.
How to Use Box of Bandages
A double click on the box opens it. The Unpack Box recipe does the same from the crafting menu. It turns the box into twelve Bandages.
Each Bandage sits under the Bandage and Clean Burn options on the health panel. It covers a wound or treats a burn. It comes off as a Bandage (Dirty) that washes clean again. The Disinfect Rag recipe turns a plain Bandage into a Bandage (Sterilized) for extra guard against infection.
Loose Bandages can go back into a box. The Pack Items in Box recipe takes twelve Bandages and makes a new Box of Bandages. Packing them keeps the stock in one slot and saves a little weight.
The box also burns as fuel in a fire.
