Unconsciousness The ArmA 2 ACE medical system allows a soldier to fall unconscious due to injuries suffered. On long missions when Morphine is running low, Medics may even opt to stop giving Morphine to soldiers who are not in dire need of pain relief (i.e. Pain is the least-urgent injury to treat. 20 at mission-start), but can quickly run out of them on longer missions. Most soldiers carry one or two syringes, which they can administer to themselves or others. Pain is treated with Morphine, which is in short supply. If the flashing color is large enough, the soldier is likely to pass out very soon. The stronger the flashing white color, the more pain a soldier is experiencing. While a soldier is experiencing any pain, the edges of their screen will flash white periodically. Pain also reduces Stamina and makes aiming more difficult, in direct proportion to its severity. While pain itself is not life-threatening, severe pain can cause unconsciousness (see below) which can be life-threatening. Pain Practically every injury suffered by a soldier will result in some degree of pain. Because of the urgency of treating bleeding, most soldiers will treat themselves as soon as possible once injured this way, and will also call for others (and/or a Medic) to assist them if the bleeding is severe enough to threaten their life. A Medical Kit (carried by Medics) contains infinite Bandages. Most soldiers carry at least one of these items, and can use it to treat themselves and others. The deeper and more opaque the color, the more the soldier is bleeding, and the more urgently he will need medical attention before bleeding out. While a soldier is bleeding, the edges of their screen will flash red periodically. This is a life-threatening type of injury, as a soldier may bleed-out and die if it is not treated. There are four different kinds of injuries in ArmA 2 ACE, which are listed below.īleeding Other than shock from explosions or vehicle crashes, practically all combat damage will cause a soldier to Bleed to some degree.

Different injuries have very different effects, and also very different treatments (see next chapter). If the soldier is not killed outright, his injuries will reduce his combat effectiveness to some degree (up to and including full unconsciousness). Whenever a soldier suffers damage from any source (whether from enemy/friendly fire, from falling off something, etc.), the game applies one or more types of injuries to that soldier. It is also possible to drag or carry an injured soldier to a safer location for treatment. In this version soldiers can also fall unconscious due to excess pain or bleeding, requiring urgent treatment right where they fell.

Medical treatment in ArmA 2 runs on the ACE system, and is a complex procedure that may involve several rounds of treatment for different medical conditions. 1.4 Carrying Crippled / Unconscious SoldiersĪrmA 2 Main article: ACE Medical System.
