“For Developers: The “Sprained Arm” Buff” (internal name adminGiveBuffSprainedArm) is, as the name suggests, an item prepared for testing by the developers and server operators. When used, it is believed to let you instantly apply to yourself the “Sprained Arm” condition that you would normally suffer from falls, taking hits, and the like.
In 7 Days to Die, arm-related injuries are generally implemented as injury buffs that affect how melee and ranged attacks are handled, as well as work efficiency such as block dismantling. This item exists to reproduce that condition at a timing of your choosing, and it is a tool intended for verification work such as checking the behavior of the injury, the treatment flow, and the related UI display.
How to Obtain and When to Use It
- This is an item that does not appear through normal crafting or looting, and it assumes access to the creative menu / admin privileges.
- Its main purpose is verification, allowing MOD creators and server operators to check the effects of injuries and the behavior of treatment (splints, etc.).
- There is no lasting benefit for regular players to hold it, and using it by mistake will only saddle you with a debuff, so be careful.
If you apply it during testing, you can revert to normal by removing it with the corresponding treatment item, by waiting for time to pass, or by deleting the buff via the console. Since the actual effect magnitude and duration can vary depending on the version and installed MODs, it is safest to treat it on the premise of verifying the behavior in your own environment.
