Does epinephrine even work?

[Korrosiv]

I got KO-ed by a zombie bitchslap while looting with a friend, i was healthy and with gear, strong pulse and no bleeding, he used ephi on me and it did nothing, then a similar situation happened with a friend who got knocked out by a bambi and i used epi on him, also didnt work.

I thought epi was exactly for those cases, but reading the in-game description actually says something about allergic reactions and stuff like that, im not sure what to think, do you ever succesfuly used an epinephrine to instantly awake someone?

from my experiance if lets say you get shot and bleed out to unconcious and i bandage you,i would then use a epi and it would temporarily bring you back so you can regain blood.only temporary unless your healthy..when healthy regain blood..

I got shot by a mosin. K'O'd me.

Friend did the following:
1. He Killed that MFKR
2. Bandaged me - stop the loss of blood. Which stops shock. Which stops me getting Up.
3. He used IV to raise my blood.
4. He epipen me.

Not sure if step 4 made me wake. But after step 4. I was fine.

So you actually managed to awake somebody exclusively with the epi? as in, you used it and it instantanly woke up? or it took a while? cause im thinking most ppl combine it with saline, bandages and what not, and maybe those are the things that do effect, not the epi.

Do you instantanly woke up after the epi? if not, im thinking the IV actually did the trick.

Anyone can confirm the epi is properly working as in, using it -and only it- on a unconcious person and getting back up?

I dont think epis work for blood loss, but they do for shock

[Soosmokie]

no epi will revive you from blood loss temporarily..like i said.but will need a blood bag or saline or eat and drink immediatly till healing

[Soosmokie]

so in turn it was the epi that brought you back ..the saline gave you the blood you needed to keep you awake..even without the epi he would have come back with time.just need to regain blood...

Epi worked for me, got shot, my buddy bandaged me to stop me from geting KO'd again, then epi'd me and i was up. this was on .52 like 2 nights ago

Hmm.. Thats interresting!

[TheRza]

you can use IV to wake someone up as well as a epi pen only problems ur having never had that happen to me but my friend was knocked out by a mosin shot and gave him a IV to bring him back

[Prophet_01]

I used a pen successfully, a few updates ago though. my mate got axed. I bandaged and saline baged him, still unconcious. One epi pen later he was good to go. so now we keep one pen on each char

Thats what I meant, but you aren't going to stay up with low blood.

Oh i get it now, it thought it was supposed to work when under "shock" effect, not blood loss, guess i got it backwards.

It will revive you either way, but blood is temporary.

I used the epi and also got epi-ed in two different cases both only knocked out by trauma (zombie critical hit and punch), no bleeding in both cases, and the epi didnt work, im thinking this wasn't a bug and thats how its supposed to work, that or you know, bugs.
