Foreword
IFAK is Infantry First Aid Kit. This guide will cover a simple injector set up to pick-up any critical UNGAs. A critical UNGA can fire his rifle, and treat himself with his own first-aid, and can maybe even run.
Guide
You have a limited number of Corpsmen per round. They die, get captured, get left behind or are sent shipside to resupply or for surgeries. Every little you can do to prevent someone needing a revive, is another Rifle that can protect the existing Corpsmen.
As well as this, taking a Marine out of critical or danger may allow them to treat themselves with their own medicine, bypassing any issues. A good rule of thumb is to always explain to the Marine “I am injecting XYZ” so they are kept in the loop and do not overdose themselves.
Here are some suggestions for a First Aid Kit for the generic UNGAs to use.
All the items here are found in Medbay. If you ask a Doctor (or a Nurse), they will be more than happy to vend you all these items. A Corpsman too.
1 slot
Injector Case with D+, Inaprovaline, Oxy.
One of each injection will quickly pull someone out of Crit, and stop them from going back in.
Oxycodone is a strong painkiller. Inaprovaline prevents suffocating while Crit. D+ will heal any suffocation already suffered. This will enable someone to quickly walk away from danger, and find their way to a Corpsman, where they can be quickly pilled to health instead of requiring revival.
2 slots
Rollerbeds, stored in the Medbay lobby, let you quickly click then drag a patient away to safety. Riflemen cannot use a Fireman Carry, and the Rollerbed will always be the faster and safest way.
3 slots
Splints will allow you to treat any fractures a Marine may have, allowing them to walk safely to a Corpsman or out of danger.
4 slots
Injector Case with:
- Bicardine,
- Kelotane,
- Tricordazine Injectors
Lets you heal basic damages on any Marine.
5 slots
Medscanner lets you play mini-Corpsman with the tools provided above, healing Marines so pressure on Corpsmen is relieved.
Extra
- Unga Canteen, made out of the Medbay’s Unga using an emptied canteen. This gives you basic healing of all varieties, although requires several sips to gain small amounts of chemical.
- You can ask Research on the upper deck to print a spray bottle, and fill it with “CLF3”.
This will make a spray that can remove facehuggers while they are still attached (inconsistently), at the cost of lighting the Marine on fire, preventing infection.
I recommend being careful with this, and watch for the “frantically claws” to ensure the hugger is gone.
Conclusion
Thank you for reading this. I hope this has inspired some of you at least a little, all of these items fit easily into webbing so it shouldn’t be too much trouble.
