Consumable items are vital for maintaining your health and ammunition supply. Many of these can be found directly or crafted from components. Efficient use and crafting are essential for survival.
- Green Herb: Restores a small amount of health. Can be combined with a Red Herb to create a Healing Salve.
- Red Herb: Has no effect on its own but is used in combination with a Green Herb to create a Healing Salve.
- Healing Salve: Restores a significant amount of health. The primary healing item.
- Ammunition: Specific to each weapon type (e.g., Handgun Ammo, Shotgun Shells, Magnum Ammo). Found in crates, on enemies, or in hidden stashes.
- Alcohol: A crafting component used to create Firebombs and Smoke Bottles.
- Cloth: A crafting component used to create Firebombs and Decoy Bottles.
- Gunpowder: A crafting component used to create Explosive Bottles, Decoy Bottles, and Smoke Bottles.
- Empty Bottle: A crafting component used as the base for all crafted explosive/utility bottles.
Always prioritize collecting crafting components. They are often more abundant than pre-made consumables and allow you to tailor your inventory to the current situation. For example, if you're facing many enemies, crafting Explosive Bottles might be more beneficial than saving components for healing if your health is already high. Conversely, if you're low on health, prioritize crafting Healing Salves. The ability to craft on the fly is a powerful tool in your survival arsenal.
