Medical Conditions
There are a variety of Medical Conditions in Breaking Point to be aware of.

Some can be an irritation by themselves and some can be more serious, but when multiple effects are combined together you can expect a quick trip back to the coast if you don’t get treatment quickly.

Bleeding
Whether you are injured by a gunshot, Zombie Attack, Dog Attack or any other environmental damage there are 3 different levels of bleeding and associated visual indicators.
 * The larger the Blood Spray, the more seriously you are bleeding and the more damage you have taken.
 * If untreated you will bleed to death.

Stunned
You can become stunned from a large amount of damage that hasn't either killed you outright or knocked you unconscious.
 * Your movement is slowed, your character movement will be erratic and all in game sounds are muted to create the effect of disorientation.
 * Stunned will pass after a short period.

Unconscious
You can become unconscious through a variety of methods including Starvation, Dehydration and Severe Blood loss.
 * If you are unconscious you cannot move, you can turn your head and look around but that's it.
 * While unconscious you can have items taken from your back pack and even be duct taped, taken hostage and gutted or healed if you're lucky.

Hunger
Everyone has go to eat right?!
 * Initial effect is none, your stomach growls.
 * If you don't eat you will start Starving to Death. Once this message pops up you have 15 minutes to eat or that's it.

Thirst
We all need to drink, and though we might prefer a cold beer in the apocalypse, almost anything will do!
 * Killing zombies is thirsty work, and all survivors will become thirsty during normal play.
 * If untreated you will become Dehydrated. Once this message pops up you have 15 minutes before death (you didn't expect this game to be easy now. did you?!)

Infection
Sometimes that 20 year old can of spam might just not be the best thing to eat & you should always boil the rain water, let alone dealing with the bites of dogs and zombie attacks!
 * Once you have become infected, you're on your way to dying a slow painful death.
 * Where did all the Zombies come from?

Medical Condition Indicators
All of these states have a range of indicators:
 * Visual indicators (blood splatters)
 * Audio (racing heartbeat)
 * On screen messages (For e.g., "Your legs have sustained minor damage."")

Zombie Attacks
When you are attacked by a Zombie there is a variety of "scratches' that are used to visually indicate the attack.

Dog Attacks
When you are attacked by a player dog there is a variety of "bites" that are used to visually indicate that you are being attacked.


 * This visual is also accompanied by the sound of a dog munching on you like a chew toy and your character screaming in pain.
 * Currently there is no sound from the attacking dogs - Known Bug
