I recently played some Miscreated (an amazing & underrated game by the way) and really liked the health system in there. I would more than love to see Unturned II having something similar to this.
I modified Miscreated’s system a little bit to make it not as hardcore and a bit more casual.
Bleeding:
If you get hurt, theres a chance of you starting to bleed depends on the weapon. When bleeding a little blood icon appears next to your health bar. Bleeding would cause you to lose 1 HP every X seconds.
When getting hit again (while bleeding already) a second blood icon appears next to the first one and causes you to lose blood twice as fast.
To patch your wound(s), a simple rag per wound is needed. 2 wounds = 2 rags.
Regeneration:
That pretty much means that you would regenerate health all the time. I think getting 1% health every 3 seconds seems pretty fair to me. Would mean that in a case in where you just survived with 1% HP, you would get to full health in about 5 Minutes (asuming only rags, which are the lowest tier meds were being used).
Meds:
Rags
A rag would be the worst med in the game. You can simply scrap clothes to get those. They wouldnt speed up the regeneration process at all and neither would they give you an instant heal.
Bandages
A bandage would be a better version of a rag and would speed up the regeneration process (untill you hit full health once) by 25%. It also gives you a 10% HP instant heal. A bandage can be crafted using 3 rags.
Medkits
A medkit would be the highest tier med and speed up the regeneration process (untill you hit full health once) by 50%. It also gives you a 20% HP instant heal and patches 2 wounds at once. You wont be able to craft the medkit and only find it in hospital/military locations. Its by far the best one and should be a high value item.
Usage & Stacking:
Usage of Meds
-
Rags can only be used when having a open wound as they dont speed up the regeneration process or an instant heal.
-
Bandages and Medkits can be used if the health is less than 100%. An open wound isnt required.
Stacking Meds
When using different meds for each wound, the instant heal would obviously apply both times, however the regeneration process would only speed up by the most recent used med’s attribute.
Why focusing on regeneration heal instead of instant heal?
Its honestly pretty simple: Instant heal allows you to get into another fight in seconds after barely surviving another fight. Making Unturned II a game in where you should make smart decisions instead of just shooting at anything and anyone you see, would not only make surviving in general harder but also gives players a reason to be more careful on their actions. If you were to be in a fight with someone and hit him a few times, you would know that he couldnt just heal himself to max HP in 4 seconds, before he jumps out basically having a health reset. It would make pvp more fair and yes… here it comes: rEaLiStIc . I think I wouldnt like this idea myself if I wouldnt have tried it in Miscreated but it seems to work really well. It also adds diffuculty to the turned as you cant almost die to one, quickly patch up and go in again. It removes the paste of the game a little bit, forcing players to be extra careful on how they move and if they want to take the risk to get hurt. Adding more use for guns to be used against turneds instead of melee as you dont want to wait for 5 minutes to continue.
This was a basic idea on meds in Unturned II. I didnt include any pills or vaccines as I think they shouldnt really give you HP. But rather help you in other ways (remove radioation, cure sicknes…)
For the Arena mode you would regenerate health way faster in general, to make it fun and casual.
If you read this, please vote so we can get a better idea on wether you like the base idea or not:
- Yes, I like this idea.
- No, I dont like this idea.
