Tempo insurance for reset-heavy lobbies.
Med-Kits
survivor
Med-kits are strongest when you need to self-stabilize after first hit and keep pressure on objectives without begging teammates for every heal.
At a glance
Bring This When
Solo queue where teammates drift and heal timings are unreliable.
Skip This When
You already run heavy self-heal perks and overpaying on item economy gives little extra value.
First Move
If you are blind-picking, default to one reliable charge add-on and one speed/consistency add-on.
Best use cases
- Solo queue where teammates drift and heal timings are unreliable.
- Blind-pick lobbies where you need guaranteed self-reset value regardless of who the killer is.
- Mid-size maps where one fast self-heal preserves generator uptime.
When to skip
- You already run heavy self-heal perks and overpaying on item economy gives little extra value.
- Your team plan is deliberate no-heal tempo with high chase confidence.
- You expect strong anti-heal pressure where heal windows are rare.
Loadout blueprint
- If you are blind-picking, default to one reliable charge add-on and one speed/consistency add-on.
- Pick one primary purpose: emergency self-heal or team triage; do not split add-ons across both if charges are tight.
- Pair with at least one information or anti-tunnel perk so your heal timing is safe, not random.
- Commit med-kit charges after meaningful hook or chase states, not after every tiny trade.
Add-on priority
Tier S
- Charge extenders for one guaranteed clutch reset plus partial follow-up value.
- Speed boosters that finish heals before killer re-entry windows.
Tier A
- Skill-check consistency add-ons if you struggle under pressure.
- Hybrid charge + efficiency add-ons for steady value over flashy spikes.
Tier B
- Niche team-heal modifiers when your stack actually coordinates bodyguard patterns.
- Anything that delays first heal too much in exchange for tiny late value.

FAQ
When should I spend med-kit early versus save it?
Spend early if it keeps generator pressure alive after a key hit. Save it when your team still has safe reset infrastructure and the killer is far from snowball state.
Should med-kits always be paired with heal perks?
No. Most players over-stack healing. One med-kit plus macro perks is usually stronger than full heal stacking that sacrifices objective or info slots.
