Healing restores a living player’s health; reviving returns a downed player to action. Check the target’s condition and select the corresponding item or interaction.
Before you start
- An appropriate medical item, or access to the basic revive interaction.
- A reachable target and a covered approach.
- A charged battery when using a defibrillator.
Season 02 medical access and supplies
The Medical Bag now has durability 150, costs $1,800 and unlocks at Medic level 14 for $50,000. The defibrillator moves to level 22 with a $110,000 unlock fee. Field Resuscitator purchase price is $425. These are the announced gates and prices; no exact revive duration or tested complete medical kit is established.

Restore health
TacticalNed’s walkthrough reports that health does not regenerate passively and points to the lower-right health display. Bandages and first aid kits restore lost health.
A beta player describing their custom bindings reports right mouse as the bandage’s self-use action. Check the currently displayed item controls before relying on a rebinding.
- Check your health and move into cover.
- Equip the medical item rather than leaving it unused in your backpack.
- Use the action shown for yourself or for the nearby target, then confirm that the health display changes.

- Player report: Bandage self-use and custom keybindings ↗
Dated beta discussion. A player reports right mouse self-healing despite a changed secondary-use binding. This establishes a historical interaction, not a persistent launch bug.

Buy and select a bandage
JA Guides Gaming’s short walkthrough directs players to Items → Medical at the HQ equipment vendor, then selects a bandage and confirms the purchase. At 0:42, the creator describes opening the quickslot wheel with 4 and selecting the bandage. Use your displayed quickslot binding if it differs.

Visually checked equipped bandage and YOU ARE FULL HEALTH feedback around 0:49. The creator reports no teammate in range; no successful heal or measured health gain is established.

Check which player you are healing
The creator explains right-click for self-use and left-click for a teammate. Around 0:49, the equipped bandage produces “YOU ARE FULL HEALTH”; the creator also reports that no teammate is in range. Those attempts show why an equipped item may do nothing, but do not establish healing amount, treatment time or maximum reach.
- Check whether you need healing before using the self-target action.
- For teammate use, face a reachable injured teammate and use the displayed target action.
- Read any feedback and confirm a health change before treating the attempt as successful.

Choose a revive tool
The medic video describes the Field Resuscitator as a single-use faster revive item. It describes the Individual First Aid Kit as a healing item, and the defibrillator as a reusable revive tool that needs a battery. The Medical Bag has a limited supply pool. These are pre-launch descriptions; exact charges, prices and timings require current evidence.
Players also describe a slower basic revive and faster equipped tools.

Check the defibrillator before buying
Quick Tips’ vendor capture shows the Defibrillator under the specialist slot’s Medical tab. At 0:31–0:32, its tooltip shows a Medic level 11 lock, a 2.6 kg weight label and a battery requirement.
Check the requirement in your own vendor before spending. The creator’s item is locked, and the clip does not demonstrate buying, charging or reviving with it. Carrying the tool alone does not establish that it is ready to use.

Complete the rescue
Players report that dragging a casualty can interrupt another person’s revive. The context interaction may offer dragging before reviving, so read the action rather than pressing it blindly.
- Tell nearby medics which casualty you are approaching.
- If someone is already reviving, avoid moving the casualty without coordinating.
- Choose the revive action and keep the target reachable until completion.
- After the player gets up, check whether they still need healing.

Common problems
- A healing item is not automatically a revive tool.
- Battery-dependent equipment needs a usable battery, not merely an empty tool.
- No precise launch revive times, bleedout-reset rule, medical charge counts or full target-condition matrix have been independently reproduced here.
