Med-Kits are a type of ItemIconHelp items SurvivorsIconHelpLoading survivor can use in Dead by DaylightIconHelp DBDlogo.


Overview[]

The Med-Kits are a Healing Item used to speed up Healing Actions on other Survivors, who are either injured or dying.
The rarer the Med-Kit, the faster its Altruistic Healing speed.

Med-Kits can also be used to self-heal when injured, but this applies a considerable speed de-buff and an Efficiency penalty to the Item, allowing for a maximum of just one full self-heal with any Med-Kit, making it a wasteful action on rarer Med-Kits and in general an action that should only be taken in dire situations.

Calculations[]

All Med-Kits have 24 Charges by default; one Health State requires 16 Charges.

Personal Healing[]

Personal Healing is afflicted by a Healing Speed and Item Efficiency penalty of -33.333 % each.
This reduces the Personal Healing Speed of all Med-Kits to 66.666 % or 0.666 c/s.
This increases the Item Consumption rate to -1.333 c/s or 133.333 %, meaning for each 1 Charge put into the Health State, the Med-Kit loses 1.333 Charges from its Capacity, allowing to self-heal for just 1 Health State.

Altruistic Healing[]

Altruistic Healing has an increased Healing speed by +35 to +50 %, depending on the Med-Kit.
Altruistic Healing has a default Consumption rate of 100 % or -1 c/s across all Med-Kits.
This allows to heal the equivalent of 1.5 Health States.
