Internal Damage
- See also: Afflictions
There are signs of burst blood vessels and of organ damage.
The Internal Damage afflictions represent raw damage, and directly reduce the Vitality of the Character. Most attacks in-game deal damage by using Internal Damage or its variants, all of which can affect any limb.
These afflictions neither grow nor decay over time, meaning that the damage inflicted will act as a fixed vitality reduction until treated.

Variants and their origin
Internal Damage is split into 7 types:
Internal Damage - Inflicted by certain stun weapons, Coilguns and Railguns, Depth Charges, as well as CPR performed by a Character whose Medical skill is below 20.
There are signs of burst blood vessels and of organ damage.
Blunt Force Trauma - Inflicted by heavy environmental impact and blunt weapons, such as the Crowbar, Wrench and Stun Baton.
The area is an ugly shade of purple, and apparently very painful to touch. You suspect a bone might be broken.
Lacerations - Inflicted with sharp weapons, such as the Screwdriver, Harpoons, Frag Grenades and Diving Knife. Also inflicted by some Creatures.
The skin is pierced and there are deep, bleeding wounds.
Bite Wounds - Inflicted by various Creatures.
There is extensive damage to soft tissue in the area and there are asymmetrical, bleeding wounds.
Gunshot Wound - Inflicted by getting shot at with firearms, such as the Revolver, Riot Shotgun and SMG. It also causes medium Bleeding, which leads to Bloodloss.
The entry site is a small, dark, bruised hole oozing a little blood. The exit wound however is a large ragged mess of exposed tissue and pouring blood.
Organ Damage - Inflicted by most poisons and certain medical items, such as Broad-spectrum Antibiotics and Liquid Oxygenite.
The patient is suffering from sharp pain in their internal organs. There is no visible damage to the epidermis.
Deep Tissue Injury - Inflicted by explosions, commonly from the Reactor meltdown.
The area is colored purple. The tissue underneath feels different than the surrounding skin.
