How to use a bandage in Arma Reforger

Arma Reforger is a military simulation sandbox game in which you have to fight dozens of other real players and more than a few bots in combat. That means you’ll get shot more times than you’d like as you explore Everon in search of bases to conquer. When that happens, you will bleed and be left wounded. This guide explains how to use a bandage to fix that.

Step 1: Put on the bandage

Once you’ve been hit, you can open the inventory screen to check your status. You’ll see Blood on the screen and the Wounded or Bleeding status effects on this screen when you’re in trouble. This means you have to open the quick selection menu, the bar that appears at the bottom of the screen and scroll to the association. It’s the black packet next to the grenade in the image above, but is also labeled as a bandage.

Step 2: Use the bandage

Your soldier has now applied the bandage as you can see in the image above. However, you cannot use the bandage on yourself unless you have been injured. While you can equip it and walk around with it as much as you like, it will only help you if you bleed. You must hold down the interact button to use it, which will stop any bleeding your soldier is suffering from.

Bandages don’t heal wounds, they just stop you from bleeding. You’ll need a medkit and some serious attention to repair your injury. If you don’t get it before your next combat encounter, chances are you’ll die from the next bullet that comes your way. Ask your team if they can help you, but if not, go back to base and get any tools you can use to repair yourself.
