Independent playtest footage supports that limited use, but effect values, fixed spawn points, treatment order, and all compatible injuries remain unconfirmed. 1 2
Use Ointment as Wound Care, Not a Universal Cure
Playtest footage shows ointment as a lootable treatment item that can be applied during ordinary wound care, commonly alongside wraps or bandages. That establishes a limited practical use without proving that ointment cures every injury or disease. The checked sources do not publish effect strength, duration, guaranteed spawn points, exact treatment order, stacking rules, or compatibility with zombie infection and Black Death. 3 4
