A broken limb has no hitpoints. So it looks like {{igs|R ARM -----|c_gray}} or if you have the [[Self-aware]] mutation, {{igs|R ARM 0|c_gray}}
You can also try:
* See if you can apply a [[Healing|healing]] item. It will only work if it isn't broken.
* See if you can apply a [[Healing|healing]] item. It will only work if it isn't broken.
* [[Sleep]], if you heal it isn't broken. Don't have the [[Slow Healer]] mutation, or else you cannot tell.
* [[Sleep]], if you heal it isn't broken. Don't have the [[Slow Healer]] mutation, or else you cannot tell.

Broken limbs are the result of a limb (Left Arm, Right Arm, Left Leg, Right Leg) taking too much damage. They cannot be healed by regular means as medication and first aid kits don't have any effect. This status effect is not listed on your character page '@'.

 @ : Good job, hero. You broke it. And this time it is your own body.

How can I tell if a limb is broken?

A broken limb has no hitpoints. So it looks like R ARM ----- or if you have the Self-aware mutation, R ARM 0

You can also try:

  • See if you can apply a healing item. It will only work if it isn't broken.
  • Sleep, if you heal it isn't broken. Don't have the Slow Healer mutation, or else you cannot tell.

How to fix it

Whether you have met a turret up close or had an unfortunate accident, there are currently two ways to fix a broken limbs:

  • Wear an Arm splint or Leg splint continuously for a few days
  • Visit a Hospital and look for "Mr. Stem Cell" computer terminal. After successful hacking attempt (unsuccessful will sound alarm), Stem cell treatment will be applied, healing broken limbs a little, so that you can continue by using regular medications. Note that there is a 1/6 chance of melting your skeleton instead of mending it, damaging all the body parts..
