Poll: How many Vitality shots do you bring in?
After over 1000 hours of always bringing two full vitality shots, i have realised that a lot of the time i dont even get to use the 2nd one. I could be bringing 3 frags instead. Im just wondering, how many vitality shots do you guys bring in to a match?

I nickle and dime my loadouts. I'll bring two weak vitality shots. I often only use one as well playing solo, but I always thought just in case it's better to have.

One vitality shot and a medkit. More than enough

Great minds think alike. :rbiggrin: Usually I get blasted before I can grab that vitality shot because I'm tryin to patch up small wounds with the medkit.

One if in trios, two if in duos or solo, plus bandages in every loadout.

1 small, 1 big

1 is enough

Usually just one. I imagine having two are handy if you're going at sniping distances or you get stuck in a trench warfare.

It depends on my loadout and traits. I usually also bring a strong Antidote-Shot with me.
When playing a close range set-up, I love bringing flashbangs and will never take more than one vitality shot.

For example:

I have "Doctor" = 1x vitality shot, 1x hellfire, 1x frag, 1x antidote
(standard set-up, i run this 75% of the time)

I have "Pitcher" = 1x vitality shot so i can bring more throwables
I have neither pitcher nor doctor, nor frontiersman = 2x vitality shots and no antidote shot

Sometimes when running a long ammo set-up I bring 2 vitality shots, as it's more likely that I need them for good trading (when fighting with long ammo, you tend to get hit hard from other long ammo players, as they are your main threat)

I agree, that one rarely ever needs more than 1, seldom more than 2, especially when you have the doctor trait.

But, when looking at top-tier players, with an equally aggressive playstyle, who also tend to run long ammo set-ups, they usually bring 2 or even 3 vitality shots. Meaning that in a prolonged firefight with enemy teams, they have the upper hand.

Depends really, i usually bring 2 Vitality shots, one Sticky boi for a boss and 1 frag with my standard long ammo loadout. But if i'm running my shotgun loadout, i tend to take 1 Vitality, 1 sticky, 1 frag and 1 HF Bomb.

First Aid Kit is always on my loadout, with a knife / dusters (depends if i'm running a bayonet)

Sometimes i get to use the second vitality shot, sometimes i don't. But i tend to use my vitality shots more in close quarters than my First Aid. i reserve my First Aid for long range engagements or if a Zomboi gets a lucky hit on me.

On a separate note, if you're the kind of person who likes to get objectives done fast and neat, i can't recommend the Sticky bomb enough, however if you're more inclined towards PvP than objectives, then a second vitality shot or frag is a good choice.
