Health
From TF2 Wiki
|
Health pickups are a vital item in and out of combat. These items can have drastic effects on the flow of battle in both one-on-one and group combat. Be sure to make use of them whenever you can, but also be mindful of others who may need these resources more, such as friendly Medics.
Health may also refers to the hit point(HP) total that governs the survival chance of the varying classes.
Health Kit pickups come in three different sizes. Each one heals the player for a different percentage of their total class health value. There are also several other sources of health that you may encounter:
Health Kits
- Small (Pill Bottle/Chocolate Bar) 20.5% heal (10 sec re-spawn)
- Medium (First Aid Kit/Candy Tin) 50% heal (10 sec re-spawn)
- Large (Ice Cooler/Cauldron) 100% heal (10 sec re-spawn)
Dropped Items
- Sandviches - If dropped by a Heavy upon death, a sandvich will heal a Scout for 75 HP and all other classes for 50. If the Heavy drops the Sandvich using alt-fire, it heals 50% of total health. Sandviches include Buffalo steak sandvich and Dalokohs bar as well.
- Note that the only time the Buffalo Steak Sandvich can be used to heal is when it is dropped using alt-fire.
Other Sources
- Dispensers (Level 1 - 10HP/sec ; Level 2 - 15HP/sec ; Level 3 - 20HP/sec)
- Carts (10HP/sec)
- Resupply Lockers (Medical Cabinet) 100% heal
- Medigun/Kritzkrieg (24HP/sec to 72HP/sec)
- Blutsauger (3HP/hit)
- Eyelander (15HP/kill)
- Powerjack (75HP/kill)
- Mad Milk (75% of damage dealt to enemy is transferred to attacker)
- Oktoberfest (Heals 11HP to the medic over 4 seconds)
- Unusual Headless Horsemann's Headtaker (15HP/kill)
- Dalokohs bar (60HP/4.3sec)

Strategy
- Use health pickups to instantly extinguish fire inflicted by Pyros.
- Use health pickups to their full potential. If an item heals you for 50%, consider waiting until your health drops below 50% before picking it up.
- Let Medics pick up Health before you do. Their purpose is to heal other players including yourself and they will likely need it more than you.
- Staying next to a dispenser or cart in battle can give you an advantage.
- As Spy, it is possible to use health pickups even at full health in order to change the displayed health of your disguise.
Trivia
- The sound for picking up a health kit is the same for getting health in Half-Life, another Valve game.
- In the Event Harvest map, there are a decorative spiders in the resupply cabinets and the health kits take the form of chocolate bars (small) and candy tins (medium).
- The Heavy can recharge an alt-fire dropped Sandvich by picking up any health kit, assuming he already has full HP when he does so. Consider dropping the Sandvich for a teammate instead of letting them pick up a small health kit. This will recover 50% of their health instead of 20.5%
- There are attributes left in the game suggesting an unlock which may increase/decrease the health gained from health kits, or that from medics.
- The inability to cure bleeding with health kits is deliberate on Valve's part, as it makes bleeding more distinct from being on fire.
- Small Health Pickups are dropped when someone dies, on Medieval mode.
- Every class has their own way of Self-Healing:
Scout: Mad Milk Soldier: Black Box, Concheror, and Half-Zatoichi Pyro: Power Jack, and Phlogniaster (full mmph taunt) Demoman: Eyelander Heavy: Sandvich, Dalokoh's Bar, and (thrown) Buffalo Steak Sandvich Engineer: Dispensers Medic: Passive Natural Regeneration, and Kritzkrieg Taunt (Oktober Fest) Sniper: Cozy Camper Spy: Conniver's Kunai
