The Box of Cold Packs is a carton of instant cold packs. It opens into six Cold Packs.
The cold packs inside are a crafting part for Smoke Bombs. That makes the box useful to a survivor who builds improvised defensive devices. The box is a rare find outside survivor safehouses.
The box is found as loot, mostly in the freezers of survivor safehouses. The Doctor is the best occupation for first aid. 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 Cold Packs
A double click on the box opens it. The Unpack Box of 6 recipe does the same from the crafting menu. It turns the box into six Cold Packs.
Each Cold Pack goes into the Make Smoke Bomb recipe. A Rag or Rag (Dirty) and two newspapers go in with it. The recipe must be known first, though the Engineer profession starts with it.
Loose cold packs can go back into a box. The Pack Items in Box recipe takes six Cold Packs and makes a new Box of Cold Packs. Packing them keeps the stock in one slot and saves a little weight.
