The Surgical Cap is a thin cloth cap worn by hospital staff. It is worn in the Hat slot and sits in the First Aid group of the inventory.
The cap is mainly a look for a survivor dressed as a Doctor or Nurse. The cap weighs very little. It falls off easily when the wearer is hit. That makes it a poor choice for a fighter.
It is a common find in medical buildings and nurse rooms. It matches the Surgical Mask and Surgical Gloves as a full set of hospital wear. 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 Surgical Cap
The cap goes in the Hat slot. It cannot be worn with hoods or with full head and full suit pieces. A Hooded Jacket and a Hooded Sweater are two examples.
The cap knocks loose more often than most hats when its wearer takes a hit. A survivor who needs a hat that stays on should pick something sturdier.
A spare cap burns well. It works as fuel or as tinder to start a fire. That gives an unwanted cap one last use.
Locations
The Surgical Cap is a common find in medical places. Side tables and other containers in medical rooms hold one a bit less than half the time. Dressers in nurse rooms are nearly as good. Dentist, hospital and medical storage rooms hold one now and then. Bins and metal shelves in hospital rooms and hallways also turn them up. Nurse bodies, army storage and old medical rooms give one less often.
