DUST Search - [Request] Remove Blood

Honestly though, most of the weapons we use wouldn't leave that much blood.

Remember the Assault (plasma) Rifle is shooting super-heated plasma shells that rupture on contact.

That's not something that causes a bleeding wound, that is something that causes the bits of you that it touches to be some ooze. The laser weaponry is strong enough to vaporize blood, and rail guns once they breach containment suits would likely leave your body spread out over a nice hundred foot line. Even nova knives would work more like lightsabers, instantly cauterizing / melting any body bits it comes into contact with.

Just about the only thing that "only" wounds a person enough to leave blood would be the combat rifle as it works as a "mundane" high-powered gun, and also the explosive weapons.

As to the comment above about having "bloodied suits" I would argue that is also impossible. The weaponry we are fighting with is -deadly- if we live if it is because our bodies have not been touched by the weaponry yet. Pretty much any one bullet of this stuff is deadly, or at least crippling. Human bodies, lore-wise, can't survive any of these weapons at least without becoming a casualty. If you run away by a hair's breadth, your suit is still functioning, and your body still has not been touched.

I'd set mine to ultraViolent, you can set yours to milk bar (tho it would be hilarious to see minecraft-esque graphics for weapons and red pixels splash outta ppl like the rings of sonic...)

BLOOD! that super-heated plasma (and the warm fuzzy feeling you get when 1-shotting a heavy with it) after melting through their core, if a body remains, it could smoke a little bit before 'digitally deteriorating' -GUTS! and yes... my personal favorite... the scrambler pistol... designed to scramble ones brains.. should we leave it up to the imagination? nay, I say nay. if shaking the brain can cause the ears to bleed... oh, just imagine how messy things could be if... -GORE! ...I'm sure you get the picture.
