Zombie Related Injuries
- Scratched
This injury is usually received from brief contact with a zombie. It causes minor health loss and pain. Immediate health loss can be stopped with a bandage, however, there is a 25% chance it will lead to death through zombification. This injury causes negative pain moodles.
- Bitten
This injury is usually received from prolonged contact with multiple zombies. It causes moderate health loss, bleeding and pain and has a 96% zombification chance. Even if the immediate health loss is stopped with a bandage, the player will still eventually die from zombification. Creates a bleeding injury and pain moodles.
- Bleeding
This injury is created with the Bitten or Scratched injuries. It creates bleeding moodles. Can be treated by applying a bandage to the affected limb.
