B41 Multiplayer; Can't suture or stitch.
I anyone else having this issue, I keep trying to suture lacerations/Deep wounds on myself/ or my friends neck or body and there isn't an option not does dragging in on the body work. I just have to keep it bandaged and keep replacing the dirty ones once they have enough health or they die.

You can only stitch up the deep wounds.

lacerations and deep wounds are two different things in this game. You can only suture deep wounds; lacerations will heal on their own if you keep the wound sterilized, clean it out periodically, and keep clean bandages on it.

What about lacerations on the neck? They bleed like crazy and the bandage has to be changed twice a day. My friends health bars lose a chunk every time I have to change one of those. Can't you stitch those?

you need to be careful with these, it's 25% infection and you lose a lot of health, so stay at your house, and if you're character is felling a litte sick, congrats, you are infected, but yeah you can't suture laceration

Nope, can't suture it. Only can suture deep wounds. As was said before, all you can do for it is keep it clean and sterilized, keep changing and cleaning the bandages, and stay at home. If ANY zombie blood gets in it you'll probably die from infection, and it already has a baseline infection chance of 25% (which is why you have to keep it sterile and clean).

IRL deep lacerations (cuts that go through the fat layers and muscle) can be stitched or sutured, so it's very common for people to make this mistake in game. (Just a note, any cut IRL that punctures through the layers of skin is considered a laceration, even a deep papercut).

*their
Also yes, in one month. Just get a needle and thread and stitch it.

Also also, impressive necromancy.

You don't "need" to change a bandage on a laceration twice a day. All that happens when you leave on a dirty bandage is it increases the chances of infection. And the only thing an infection does is slow the rate of healing. Just leave the bandage on and forget about it basically.
