Foreign bodies are often acquired after firefights or being caught in an explosion. Foreign bodies should be removed as quickly as possible in order to avoid Arterial Bleeding or the patient contracting Sepsis. Each use of tweezers will remove 5% foreign bodies. The chance of foreign bodies causing issues scales with time and the strength, as shown in the graph at the bottom of this card.
Caused by:
- Explosions
- Gunshots (gunshots that break a bone will always cause foreign bodies)
Effects:
- Arterial Bleeding (at 20% or more)
- Aortic Rupture (at 20% or more, if in the torso)
- Sepsis (at 20% or more)
- Inflammation (at 15% or more)

- Open & Close Surgery (use Tweezers before applying Sutures
