Gauze

Edit on GitHub

Gauze is a consumable that heals 15 health, added in the v0.4.0 "Supplies received" update on June 17th, 2023. They spawn very commonly around the map in stacks of 5. To use gauze, either click on the icon in your inventory or press 7 on your keyboard. Gauze takes 3 seconds to use.

Background

Gauze intended for use as a medical item is typically made of cotton. It is useful for wounds where other fabrics might stick to the wound, such as burns. Learn more about the gauze here.

Strategies

Using

• Use Gauzes if you either don't have a Medikit or your health isn't very low. You may want to use Gauze to conserve Medikits for later in the game.
• If you have a lot of time or aren't in an engagement, you can use 5 or 6 Gauze instead of a Medikit.
  • This works best when taking adrenaline such as Tablets or Cola first, as it will heal you while you use the Gauze.
• Make sure you are in a safe and/or easily defensible location when using Gauze, as the slowdown makes you vulnerable.
  • If someone starts attacking you, cancel the Gauze and start fighting (the default keybind is X).

Countering

• If you see a player out in the open using healing particles, you should attack them. There's a good chance that they are low on health and will make for an easy kill.
  • Watch out though, as some players will "bait" and pretend to heal when they actually have high health.

Obtaining

Gauze is a very common drop from crates, toilets, and the toilet in a Porta Potty. It can also be readily found as ground loot and in berry bushes.

Trivia

• Before Gauze and other consumables were added, the only way to heal yourself was to break a Health Crate.
  • Health Crates have now been removed from the game.
