Medikit

The Medikit is a consumable that heals 100 health, and was added in the v0.4.0 "Supplies received" update on June 17th, 2023. They spawn rarely around the map. To use a Medikit, either click on the icon in your inventory or press 6 on your keyboard. A Medikit takes 6 seconds to use.

Background

Medical kits, also known as first aid kits, contain a variety of different supplies and equipment that both civilians and first responders can use to treat injuries or ailments.

Strategies

Using

• Try and save the Medikit for an emergency when you really need it. Medikits are rare and you might not be able to use another one.
  • If you see a Medikit, it is worth grabbing since you may need it later on.
• The Medikit is more efficient than Gauze, especially if you are low on health.
• Make sure you are in a safe and/or easily defensible location when using a Medikit, as the slowdown and long usage time makes you vulnerable.
  • If someone starts attacking you, cancel the Medikit and start fighting the (default keybind is X).
  • However if you still have a little bit of health and are behind cover, you might be able to let the Medikit finish before fighting.
• If you are caught in the gas towards the later stages of the game, use the Medikit as soon as you start taking damage, as you will need to in order to out-heal the gas.
  • Use adrenaline to help regenerate more health.

Countering

• If you see a player out in the open using with healing particles, you should attack them. There's a good chance that they are low on health and will make for an easy kill.
  • Watch out though, as some players will "bait" and pretend to heal when they actually have high health.
• If you're in a fight and you think your opponent is low enough that they are trying to use a Medikit, keep being aggressive and attack them. Don't give them the chance to use a Medikit.

Obtaining

Medikits are most commonly found in Toilets and in the Porta-Potty. They can also be found rarely from crates or as ground loot.
