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.

Level	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11
Scavenging Speed	2.5%	2.71%	?	3.12%	?	3.53%	3.74%	3.94%	?	?

Tactics[]

It should be used by the designated scavenger for the mission, as the hand wraps take up a gear slot that could be used to improve a survivor's combat ability. The wraps should typically be given to a Scavenger or the Leader. Without it, scavenging takes longer, which is problematic on a 7-minute time limit per mission.

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They are eventually superseded by Gloves, which are essentially improved versions of the Hand Wraps.
