Cant use bandages?

[Professor Von-Wulfen ]

I have them in the tricket slot and the icons on my skills but cant seem to use them.

You made sure that both the user and the one that it is used on are not engaged in melee?

Even though it is not stated on the tooltip of Bandage Ally, the skill also only works if the target is bleeding.

Total guess here, but if you are trying to use them to heal HP, they don't do that. They are just for stopping bleeding.

bandages are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. i never use them because im never outta melee combat. WORTHLESS MECHANIC in my opinion. make them EZer to use or i wont use them.

Hook, repel, shield knockback, footwork, rotation. We have enough tools to make bandages work.

Can they be used on oneself if out of enemy zone of control?

Yes.

Many thanks guys, I did know the units have be be out of mele but thought it was more of a heal HP thing.

Thanks, Love Gun, all my hours in this game and I never noticed the " First Aid " ability. I need a " Pay Attention " ability.

But why? That makes them completely useless. 7 AP and requers bleeding target to move. Just remove them from the game.

Bandages are a "Must Have" for all my Brothers not carrying reward items or War Dogs. I can't believe I am reading that folks don't use them.

I am not a dev or member of Overhype Studios, just a Steam forum moderator of the Battle Brothers forum. This position is unpaid, if I might add.

I'd guess it is that way because of balancing reasons and to keep it somewhat realistic.

Bandages are not useless. Would you rather have a maxed out brother bleed to death or spend some AP getting him out of combat?

Not useless, but to be honest it is not very often there is a need for them. I rather have a dog or somthing else. As long as a couple of brothers have them it is ok.

Fight Orcs? Need bandages. Fight goblins? Need bandages. Undead? Bandages. Any enemy that uses cleavers causes bleeding, bandages + Rotate or Footwork are a must.

Nope... 212 hours in game and I've yet to use a bandage or have anyone bleed out. Maybe like one or two bandages in that whole time. Definitely not a regular thing.
