How buffs change a fight

A max health tea or pumpkin pie raises your health above 100, so every gun needs more hits. Only one max health food counts at a time: a new one replaces the last. Each bullet, arrow or blade hit also adds bleeding, a fifth of the damage it did. Bleeding takes 1 HP every 3 seconds, and each point of it, like each point of a hit, wipes 10 points of heal over time. A hunter's pie cuts bleeding by 90%, a rich one by 100%. A pork pie makes heal over time from syringes, medkits and healing teas land 3 times as fast, a rich one 3.5 times. A fish pie gives full comfort: natural healing runs to full health at 7 times the speed, instead of stopping at 60%.

Methodology

Shots and seconds to kill use the same damage, armour and range numbers as the TTK calculator, against each set-up's max health, counting hits to 0 health. A headshot that takes the last health kills; any other gun hit knocks you down (wounded) instead, unless you were already downed in the last minute. Bleeding to 0 health knocks you down too. Max health, bleeding, heal over time (at most 100 waiting to land), and natural healing were tested in game on our own server. The healing chart starts the moment a set-up survives every hit but the last one, with the bleeding those hits caused. It assumes full food and water, a warm but not overheated body, no radiation, new armour, pies and teas eaten before the fight, and all hits landing at once. A syringe or bandage takes 4 s to use; a medkit or tea works at once. Natural healing waits 10 seconds after the last hit or bleed, and uses up food as it heals. Health changes about once a second, so healing times are good to about a second. Tested on the current version of Rust.

Rust PvP buffs: common questions

Ballistic helmet with a creamy max health tea, or a heavy plate helmet?
Against an AK at 5 m, the ballistic helmet with a creamy pure max health tea takes 4 head shots to kill and the heavy plate helmet takes 10. To the chest, where neither helmet helps, the tea's 126 HP takes 3 shots to go down and 100 HP takes 2.
Does a max health tea change how many shots kill you?
Yes. A creamy pure max health tea raises max health to 126, so AK chest hits of 50 HP need 3 shots to put you down instead of 2. One max health food counts at a time: a pumpkin pie and a max health tea replace each other.
What does a hunter's pie do in PvP?
It cuts the bleeding hits cause by 90%, and a rich hunter's pie by 100%. Bleeding takes 1 HP every 3 seconds and wipes heal over time, so less bleeding means syringes and medkits keep more of their heal.
What do pork and fish pies do?
A pork pie makes heal over time land 3 times as fast, a rich one 3.5 times. A fish pie gives full comfort: natural healing runs to full health at 1.4 HP a second instead of stopping at 60% at 0.2.
How fast do you heal back with rich pies?
2 AK chest hits on no armour with a creamy max health tea leave 26 HP and 20 bleeding. On syringes alone you are back to full in 65 s. With a rich hunter's, pork and fish pie you take no bleeding and are full in 16 s. With the pies and one creamy healing tea instead of syringes, 19 s.
