Please note, this guide is a work in progress and will be updated with medical items and stats as soon as I have more time.

In Gray Zone Warfare, they've created the Human Health System or HHS for short. It doesn't rely on traditional HP (hit points). Instead, it employs a detailed simulation of various body parts and vital pools like blood and hydration. When your character experiences health issues, they're signaled by distint symptoms, each indicating a specific problem. In Gray Zone Warfare, you don't survive by treating symptoms, but instead tackling their root causes.

• Wounds (red marker): Result from projectile or melee weapon hits that bypass protective gear. Categorized as Light, Medium, or Severe based on bleeding severity. Light wounds heal over time, while others require treatment.
  
  
• Bruises (purple marker): Occur when projectiles are stopped by protective gear, causing pain. They heal naturally after a while.
  
  
• Treated wounds (green marker): Follow treatment of Medium or Severe wounds, causing temporary discomfort before healing.
  
  
• Damaged/Organ damage: Key organs like the brain, heart, lungs, and liver can sustain damage, visible as color changes on X-rays. Destruction of vital organs like the heart or brain results in immediate death.
  
  
• Damaged bones: Arm and leg bones can be damaged by impacts or falls, displayed similarly to organ damage.

• Blood loss: Losing blood leads to negative symptoms, with severe loss resulting in coma. Blood naturally regenerates unless hydration and energy are critically low.
  
  
• Intoxication: Increases with stimulant use, gradually decreasing or requiring treatment.
  
  
• Radiation: Accumulates in irradiated areas, necessitating treatment to prevent lethal levels.

• Bandages: Treat wounds but not bruises.
  
  
• Tourniquets: Stop bleeding but doesn't treat wounds.
  
  
• Splints: Repair damaged bones.
  
  
• Surgery kits: Restore damaged or destroyed organs.
  
  
• Blood bags: Replenish lost blood.
  
  
• Pills: Varied types treat pain, intoxication, or radiation; details provided in item descriptions.
  
  
• Stimulates: Alter HHS behavior with benefits and drawbacks, effects detailed in descriptions.

The system for squad healing is not intuitive right out of the gate. When healing a fellow contractor the medical items must be placed in one of three places.

• Tactical Rig
  
• Tactical Belt
  
• Pockets

These locations are also marked on the left hand side with a little lightning bolt.

1. Go up to player having their medical crisis.
   
2. Examine player using the interaction system.
   
3. If the player has ailments, you should see everything that requires intervention. Please note, if you don't get anything after examining the player. They have no medical issues that require attention.
   
4. Put medical items in one of the slots as listed above.
   
5. Run the medical intervention on your comrade.
   
6. Get back into combat soldier!

These items are used to hold medical items in a smaller inventory profile. These are essential for keeping inventory space compact.

Editor Notes: You must pull items out of these medical bags to use on yourself or your squad mates.
