Understanding Internal Bleeding
Internal Bleeding is a GREEN (safe) symptom detected via X-Ray scanner. It's often missed because bleeding organs look similar to healthy ones. Understanding this symptom prevents unnecessary quarantining of healthy survivors.
Key Points
- •Safe symptom - survivor can enter Survivors Block
- •Detected using X-Ray scanner only
- •Appears as red/reddish sores on organs
- •Does NOT correlate with external bruises
How to Use the X-Ray Scanner
The X-Ray scanner reveals internal organ symptoms. Mastering its layers is essential for thorough examinations.
Controls

Shows all organs at once - good for overview
Organs: Liver, Lungs, Heart, Intestines
Upper organs clear - better view of lungs/heart
Organs: Lungs, Heart
Lower organs and BRAIN visible
Organs: Intestines, Brain (ONLY visible here)
No organs shown - ideal for contraband detection
Organs: None (contraband only)
Identifying Internal Bleeding
Internal bleeding can be tricky to spot because affected organs still appear reddish - similar to healthy organs. Here's what to look for.
Visual Characteristics
Normal reddish organ color with visible sores
Red welts, bleeding marks, scar-covered tissue
Can appear on any organ: liver, lungs, brain, intestines
Discoloration throughout the vascular system
Detection Steps
Behavioral Hints
Survivors with X-Ray symptoms often show physical hints that help you know when to use the X-Ray scanner.
Stomach Grabbing
Survivor holds their stomach and bends over periodically
Hunched Posture
Survivor stands slightly bent over or hunched

Common Mistakes to Avoid
These are the most frequent errors players make when checking for internal bleeding.
Confusing with healthy organs
Internal bleeding organs still look reddish, making them easy to miss
Compare suspected organ with other organs on the same survivor
Missing brain symptoms
Brain is only visible on Layer 3 - many players forget to check
Always cycle through all 3 layers during examination
Expecting external bruises
In real life, internal bleeding causes bruises - not in this game
Symptoms don't correlate - check X-Ray regardless of skin condition
Stopping after one symptom
Survivors can have multiple symptoms on different organs
Check ALL organs on all layers before making your decision
Quarantining safe symptoms
Internal bleeding looks dangerous but is actually GREEN (safe)
Remember: red sores = safe, black spots or blue = danger
