Surgical Gloves are thin medical gloves worn on both hands. They belong to the First Aid group of the inventory. They are most often found near hospitals.
The gloves are light and give a little warmth and some shelter from the wind. They also guard the hands a little against scratches. That makes them a cheap layer for a survivor who has nothing better for the hands yet.
They are found rather than crafted. Hospitals, morgues and the bodies of pharmacists and nurses are the best places to look. They match the Surgical Cap and Surgical Mask as a 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 Gloves
The gloves go in the Hands slot and cover both hands. They cannot be worn with pieces that use the hand or arm slots. A full suit and hood also clash with them.
Their warmth and wind resistance are modest. Cold weather calls for a heavier pair of gloves once one turns up. In the early days a pair of Surgical Gloves is still better than bare hands.
Blood from fighting stains the hands of the gloves. They are best treated as a starter or cosmetic pair rather than battle gear.
Locations
Surgical Gloves are a very common find in medical places. Hospital room counters almost always hold a pair. Counters in produce storage rooms and dog food factories are just as reliable. Medicine cabinets in waiting rooms, security offices and police SWAT rooms hold them more often than not. Morgue shelves and medical side tables give them about half the time. Zombies dressed as pharmacists or nurses often wear a pair. Laboratories, drug labs and jewellery stores turn them up now and then.
