Could someone please confirm if +CMUse skilltapes are borked or not?
I have a +3. On my skillmods it shows me as having 75/78 when the item of clothing is equipped, yet I cannot use a level 78 poison/disease.
I raised a ticket to find out the answer to this 4 days ago. Have had no response yet...
Cheers in advance

From the FAQ stickied at the top of the forum...
Q: Do Combat Medicine Use Skill Tapes(Clothing Attachments/Armour Attachments) work?
A: No. Just like the Medicine Use Skill Enhancers, these were disabled long ago. They would prove to be game breaking items for the Medical Professions and were never activated. They do still drop, however.

Thanks for the response Vortexala but it begs the questions
"why the *&%£ does it still drop"
but more to the point
"why the £&%* does it show up in the skill mods window????"

The reason they still drop is the same reason Grenade Experimentation tapes still drop, and why we have 'broken' this and 'cdef' that loot drops....
Because the Loot table sucks major arse.

Cool, I understand why they drop, andfrom that I can also understand why they can beused inan item of clothing.
But if they don't work - why do they show up on the skill mods window?
Please don't take this as meattacking you - but as the "CM rep" can you (in any way shape or form) kick someone's a$$ with this question please? Will they ever work? If not,will the skillmods window ever reflect what is true and correct?

I'm not taking it personal, don't worry 
Just stating that I wish they didn't drop at all. As to why it shows up in the skills window, my guess would be old code. Since they were put in, and at one time meant to work, they showed up in the skills window. When they were disabled, there was no effort to remove them from the skills window.
Does it suck? Yes. Especially if you paid for a CMU skill tape. Will it get fixed? Eventually. But it won't be anytime soon...

They will never fix this, as it would allow someone without ANY skill points invested in even medic to use poisons, stims, and disease. We can only hope they update the loot tables.

While we're on the subject of borked skilltapes, does anyone know if "Ranged Healing Speed" tapes/attachments work please?
It's the column of CM that I dropped and I have a chance to buy some.

Thats not true, you still have to have the skill "Apply Poison" & "Apply Disease".
They should work, Ranged & Melee professions tapes seem to work.
