Hand Wrap

The Hand Wrap is a type of passive gear featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

Description

Improvised hand protection to speed up the scavenging process.

Background

To avoid pricks and cuts while digging through junk, a layer of material around the hand can help minimize the risk of injury. Not the best or most consistent means of protection, but they are better than nothing should a good pair of gloves be unavailable.

Effect

Increases scavenging speed by a percentage, depending on the Hand Wrap's level. Maximum level is 11.

Tactics

It should be used by the designated scavenger for the mission. While it can be any survivor, it is typically the Scavenger or the Leader. Without it, scavenging takes longer, which is problematic on a 7 minute time limit per mission.

However, it should only be used by the designated scavenger, as it takes up a gear slot that could be used to improve the survivor's combat ability. When defending the compound, switch out the Hand Wraps for a different type of gear, as hand wraps are useless then.

They are eventually superseded by Gloves, which are essentially improved versions of the Hand Wraps.
