Does the wounded guy suddenly lose both his arms? he is wounded, not dead, bleeding. He will die without help, but for now, he is still technically alive. Last I checked you are in no condition to accurately fire in that state, I'll give you that, but if someone grabs your gun(in your hands still) and tries to pry it out of your hands, you don't really need accurate fire, just holding down the trigger(which, if the person attempting "to extract or obtain with difficulty" pulls wrong will pretty much force your trigger pull) will do for any of the fully automatic weapons in this game.
and how are they valid, because it was a shooter with a sci-fi theme? because they had a bunch of people in a game? because there were guns?
Well, from the book, "Templar One" I gather that the "bleedout" state is really a nanite failure state.
That is, the cloned super soldiers have a nanite supply in their circulatory system that will repair damage. When the nanites are overwhelmed and can no longer repair damage as fast as the clone is taking damage, the clone begins to fail and shut down.
That is why the revive is a nanite injection. It is a booster of the repair nanites and will get you back on your feet and your other repair systems can take it from there.
In the book a character was able to self inject nanites. That mechanic isn't in the game but might have been. Basically in Dust you go full on unconscious.
Really it could go either way. Maybe they could give us an item like a reverse rep. gun. You could only use it on a downed enemy, and it would finish them off so they couldn't be revived and convert their stuff to ammo for your weapons.
Basically it would be kind of redundant (since you might as well just fit a nanohive, or find a logi with a really good nanohive supply) but as long as there were unconscious enemies about you could steal their parts for ammo.
That whole nanite deconstruction that happens when you re-spawn does work against the salvage mechanic. If the nanites disintegrate the merc's suit and equipment when they re-spawn, how can it be salvaged? |
