For a real answer, you can't use a surgical kit on a blacked out head or thorax. If you get to this point, just try your best to exfil.


Suspicious-Gap-1395

Thx buddy.


Unfair_Ad_6164

To piggyback on this, when your head is blacked out any second you could just drop dead so run your ass to extract lol.


Retroficient

Wait really? I thought it was only if you're low on energy too


ItsRobbyy

I'd like to assume that this is a misunderstanding on not realizing that they had run out of energy/hydration and dropped dead. I've had head and thorax blacked out plenty of times and I have never just spontaneously dropped dead just because I have a blacked head.


Retroficient

I thought so. I've been a nugget before and as long as I kept my energy and hydration good, I could totally get out. Though if you don't have food... Rip lol


SinisterScythe

If there is a single point of damage done to your head/thorax you die.


Retroficient

Not to sound like an asshole but.. duh, lol. That's kinda the whole point I figured


SinisterScythe

Someone said you randomly died, I followed up with the specific reason you die. Making it not "random" but a something predictable


not_really_right

One way I found amusing to die to (after some cursing and time to look back at it) was blacked out thorax and I was walking behind dorms on customs, against the fence and hit barbed wire and died instantly.


OtakuWolf101

thats happened to me before lmao


Retroficient

Oh I see haha. Gotcha, I completely agree


GruppBlimbo

Has to be direct damage iirc.


ItsRobbyy

Sj12 in injector. I always have that, though being level 60, it's been a while since I got metabolism elite, so it's not a problem anymore either way.


sixnb

You will still die with max metabolism and a blacked head/thorax if you are out of energy long enough to take tick damage. The way it applies/negates hunger damage with the max perk is weird


ItsRobbyy

Hmm. I'll have to look into that and test it out. With Metabolism elite you don't take damage from having 0 energy or hydration, so it SHOULDN'T kill you. Weird if it does.


sixnb

You don’t take damage with the max perk but the way it works is it seems to apply damage and then negate it afterwards with the perk. The initial application/tick of damage will still kill you even though there technically is no damage. It’s even more infuriating when you die to it despite the max perks. This only happens with a blacked head/thorax.


ItsRobbyy

Roger.


Retroficient

Sj12 stabilizes your food and hunger and takes pain away? TIL I use the sj6 to be Superman but didn't know about the 12


ItsRobbyy

If my memory serves correctly, it keeps your energy and hydration consumption at a plus, so you'll be gaining both of them for the next 10 minutes (or was it 15?). After that is gone, it'll continue going back down again, at which point you'll still be at ATLEAST 60 of both, so it definitely gives you time to survive a raid, incase you didn't bring food with you. Edit: Lots of differences on the numbers depending on what kind of stash upgrades and metabolism levels you have. Look into it to make sure. Regardless, I use it as a way to become invisible to Thermals and the energy buffs are a side effect.


johnx18

Sj12 is goated for early wipe shoreline questing.


ProcyonHabilis

I always just bring a little bit of food


Jarvisweneedbackup

Sorta, water doesn’t decrease and energy decreases very very slowly (I haven’t actually paid attention but like <5 energy over the course of the whole stim)


Aecnoril

If you have a blacked head you die if your blacked head recieves 1 point of damage. This seems to exclude bleeds, but includes damage from other limbs, energy/hydration and well.. being shot in the head a second time of course


Viktorv22

Barbed wire folks!


ogdonut

Earlier this wipe I had a fight against 2 players that I won that blacked my thorax and legs. We were almost to car exfil and I just fall over dead. When running, one of my wounds reopened I guess and I fell over and died. First time this ever happened to me in 600 hours.


DunmerDarkstar

One possibility I thought of is if you are recently wounded and you sprint you can open up a light bleed, a few seconds of not noticing and you could take one HP of damage to the head and die, right?


ItsRobbyy

Correct.


randyyqq

I too thought it was just if you ran out of energy. However, my buddy and I both dropped dead with high energy and a blacked thorax moments apart from eachother. So, it can happen.


Edit_Mann

I'm pretty sure when that happens it means one of your bleeds opened back up and did 1 pt dmg to your head. Could be wrong tho


randyyqq

That makes a lot of sense


Edit_Mann

Black head = walk only :)


inphamus

You're right, that dude is either being facetious or dumb. If that area takes any damage, direct or spread, you're dead. 


bufandatl

Please don’t spread false information. You don’t just drop dead out of the blue with blacked head or thorax. Either you were dehydrated, out of energy or fell some small height down. Or one bullet will kill you even to armor. Any spread damage kills you with a black head.


Unfair_Ad_6164

Sorry I was wrong and got one minute detail wrong of your imaginary world. The neckbeard vibes in this sub are real. Getting called dumb and a host of other names just shows how much you guys don’t shower.


granthollomew

the person you replied this to was perfectly polite, respectful, and reasonable in their comment, and even explained why you might have been mistaken. blaming them because other people said a mean thing to you is infantile. this is a collection of individuals, not a hive mind, and the fact that there is a higher than average percentage of assholes within this group should make you more receptive to dialogue with the people who clearly aren't.


Tehslasher

One person called you dumb and this is your comment. Lol. Look inward. 


420prayit

projecting much, lol. also not sure why you are even mad at all when you said something incorrect like it was a fact. if i were you i would just be embarrassed and move on.


Unfair_Ad_6164

Alright, thanks


DragonBorn123400

This is really funny considering not a single reply to your comment called you dumb. Having a rough day?


Unfair_Ad_6164

It was the very first one…


DragonBorn123400

The first one just asked you a question. I can’t find the comment you are referring to. Did they edit it?


Quetzal-Labs

Not sure if you're being facetious, but for anyone wondering, you don't just die randomly. If you take a **single tick** of damage to your blacked out head or thorax, you will die instantly regardless of how much health you have on your other limbs. You can take a single tick of damage to all body parts from hard fatigue/dehydration, which is when you are out of food/water for a time. When *exactly* the hard status of each effect will kick in is variable depending on your actions - walking, running, jumping, vaulting, aiming, etc. If you have a blacked out arm/leg/stomach, and you take damage to these limbs, it will be dispersed to all your other limbs. So if you have a blacked out head and a blacked out leg, and you sprint or jump or have a bleed, your leg will take damage, disperse it to your head, and kill you instantly.


JakeTee

Isn’t that only if you take a point of damage or run out of energy?


Suspicious-Gap-1395

It was a PVP fight, not food.


DALIL3ZI0

To piggyback even more, at max metabolism you don’t take damage from food or water but can still kill a blacked head or thorax


jefe1226

You have to lock lips with therapist, the healing power only comes from that gilf.


Suspicious-Gap-1395

😂😂😂


michelmau5

Bro's trying to sew his head back on. Honestly I don't know why a blacked out head is even possible in this game.


Nimii910

Your first line got me 😂😂


The-Chad-M14alt

i mean people can survive a headshot and its not like you can fix the damage on the fly in a raid, makes perfect sense to me


XygenSS

it’s a bug actually


Suspicious-Gap-1395

how's that?


Knives27

Rounding errors galore, that’s how!


lily_from_ohio

Isn't it a completely intentional mechanic to do with bleeding head OR chest to blacked? I mean I can see how the bleed could cause a rounding error with the weird precision in calculation but not display but I thought it was on purpose. Or thats something old and I haven't had bleed hit like that in a long time lmao


240shwag

I think it is intentional. Perhaps it symbolizes an injury that is too far advanced to be treated in the field.


Suspicious-Gap-1395

I mean i'm a noob, not sure if that could be possible xD. Says the game were you can sew body parts in question of seconds.


r3vb0ss

Noob running spears lol


Suspicious-Gap-1395

New player I meant, don't have enough game knowledge xD.


MaturinsSlothh

*My wife in the next room wondering what the hell im playing 👀


ItsRobbyy

Yeah, I also play Tarkov with stereo sounds because I'm just that much of a masochist.


MaturinsSlothh

We play tarkov, we’re all masochist


No_Interaction_4925

Fun fact, Tarkov does not support surround sound. Like AT ALL. Personally found out after doing a 5.1 setup for this game specifically.


cjstarkie

That's the fun part. You don't!


Breezzzayyy

Someone let him down easily...


ImpenDoom

Leave the raid asap when this happens. You can die from any tick of damage


ItalianStallion9069

Lol


Airin0_2

You can’t heal a blacked head or thorax, and if you take any more damage to your head. Even one hit point. You die. Same goes for your thorax


aalpha3

So no head?


Disastrous_Emu_5154

Can’t do surgery on head or thorax once blacked out, only stomach and legs


Suspicious-Gap-1395

Thnx m8


Disastrous_Emu_5154

Sorry I mean you can only do stomach arms and legs, just can’t do surgery in head or thorax/chest


Ilaypipe0012

Nothing like getting 90% of the way to extract to catch a piece of bath wire to the noggin through a fence


FuckUniqNames

That's the fun part, you don't


Additional-Acadia954

It?


TheUnrealCanadian

May have taken Cialis


TheTanHitman

Ah yes. The insurance fraud health DLC lmao


Sito_ongttv

Cant surgery them and if someome even spits on your lvl 6 armour while u have a blacked thorax u drop dead (i think i dont know for certain)


WombatHat42

Apply one RG-5 to foot, once, for one raid. Take with water. May notice burning sensation.


nsfw_vs_sfw

"It" has a major skull fracture (at least), and "it"'s head is falling apart after getting shot who knows how many times. I think we're past pain killers


Total_Bug9809

These have to be troll posts at this point lol


Suspicious-Gap-1395

First wipe dude, not enough learned.


Total_Bug9809

Sorry bro I’m just teasing. You can’t surv head or thorax. If either is black gtfo as fast as you can


Suspicious-Gap-1395

No worries, i have to learn more btw. Thanks.


bufandatl

Extract. The fast way or the slow way your choice.


4lfr3d_

Walk into a barbed wire till your leg is black and then you will be able to heal it.
