The Cold Pack is an instant cold pack from a first aid supply. It serves as a crafting part for Smoke Bombs.
It suits a survivor who builds improvised defensive devices. The Make Smoke Bomb recipe turns one Cold Pack into one Smoke Bomb. The recipe must be learned first, though the Engineer profession starts with it known.
Cold Packs are found as loot in medicine cabinets and medical fridges. A Box of Cold Packs opens into six of them. 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 Cold Pack
The Make Smoke Bomb recipe takes one Cold Pack, one Rag or Rag (Dirty), and two newspapers. It makes one Smoke Bomb. A dirty Rag works just as well as a clean one here, which saves clean rags for wounds.
Six loose Cold Packs pack into a Box of Cold Packs with the Pack Items in Box recipe. The Unpack Box of 6 recipe opens a box again.
