Pain is typically caused by wounds and the prolonged use of tourniquets. Increased pain can effect weapon sway, stamina, vision and cause audible moaning. Combat wound medication pills can be used to suppress pain for first aid, however more advanced suppression is possible using morphine or fentanyl.
