Medicine FAQ:
- How do I heal my PMC?
To restore HP to one of your limbs, you must right click on a medkit and select "Use". This will begin an animation to heal your player and you will in turn use the resources of the medkit you selected. Once the medkits resources reach 0, you will no longer be able to use it and it will disappearform your inventory.Alternatively, you may also bind the top number keys on your keyboard to medical items and use them at the press of a button. To do this, you must have them in your vest tor pockets. Then, simply hover over the item and press the number you would like to bind it to. This is the standard setup for most Tarkov players:
4 - Medkit
5 - Painkillers
6 - Splint/Hemostat - Can I find medical items in raid easily?
Medical items in Escape From Tarkov tend to be near impossible to find in raid. You may get lucky when looting and find the medkit you need; however, most of the time you only find bandages and non-medicine based loot in medical containers. It's best to bring a backup medkit if you think you may run out of medical supplies. - Should I be healing mid-fight? If not, when?
Healing in the middle of an active engagement can be extremely dangerous, but also necessary. Using an injector during an active engagement is preferred over a medkit, due to use time and audio cues to the enemy player. Only use a medkit in a fight if it is absolutely necessary. If you are involved in an engagement at range, you should be safe to use a medkit. - Is it ok to not be full HP after an engagement?
Short answer, yes. When outside of an active engagement, you should prioritize healing over looting, unless you need to GTFO. As long as you don't have any active HP or movement draining statuses, you should be safe to leave the area. Just remember that if you ate 50% HP or below, you are in no condition to engage in a firefight. So choose your battles carefully and always try to remain full HP. - How can I heal blood loss?
In order to heal standard blood loss, you must have and use a: Car First Aid Kit, Salewa, IFAK, AFAK, Grizzly, Bandage, Zagustin injector. - How can I heal a heavy bleed?
In order to heal a heavy bleed, you must have and use a: Salewa, IFAK, AFAK, Grizzly, Tourniquet, Hemostat, Zagustin injector.
