So Disinfectant. What is it currently?
From what I can tell it is just another type of healing product.
When I first started seeing it I was under the impression that this was meant to be a way to combat the ever-prevalent zombie bite infections which seem to be happening more and more frequently with each update. I’ve tried many times to combat an infected bite with disinfectant, to no avail. Perhaps there’s something I’m missing, but if not, I have a suggestion.
If you have received an infected bite wound, disinfectant applied during the very first stage of the infection should remove the infection. Disinfectant is easier to find than antibiotics but it could also be more limited; if used after the first stage of infection it no longer works, because the infection has already spread away from the wound. In this way people who carry the stuff around could use it to disinfect their bites, but the grace period would be short.
Increasingly I am finding that whether or not a character survives depends on whether or not there is a pharmacy accessible near the start of a game. I’m often infected within the first encounter with a zombie, unless I’ve made a combat-oriented character. And once you’re infected there’s really nothing you can do except try to get to a pharmacy without getting killed - usually a fool’s errand at the start of the game.
So. Disinfectant. A first stage defense against infected bites. Good idea?
