The Medkit is a returning item in Risk of Rain 2.

buff for 2 seconds. When the buff expires, the holder recovers 20 HP, plus an additional 5% (+5% per stack) of their maximum health.

Notes[]

  • If the player takes damage again while they have the Medkit Heal buff, the buff's duration will be reset and they will have to avoid damage for another 2 seconds to receive healing. This makes the item ineffective for recovering from most damage-over-time effects or rapidly-firing attacks.

Tips[]

  • At 20+ stacks, receiving Medkit healing will fully recover the player's health. The number required to do this is reduced by having any Rejuvenation Rack Rejuvenation RacksBgLegendaryRejuvenation RackRejuvenation Rack

    ; having one Rack requires half as many Medkits (10), having two Racks requires a third as many (7), so on and so forth.

Lore[]

"I suggest you stay indoors and rest."

MED-E, the medical bot, has been working overtime. The survivors felt very grateful that their escape pod landed near Med Bay cargo - they would have most likely perished without it.

"I suggest you stay indoors and rest."

The robot was speaking to a tall man, gaunt but strong. "I'd love to, but we're running low on food." Even though his expression was hidden underneath his blue combat helmet, it was obvious the man was extremely tired. "And everyone else is recovering from last night's attacks. Without the enforcers, we probably wouldn't have-"

"I suggest you stay indoors and rest." 

It was apparent that MED-E only had a limited set of lines. However, the man continued to respond. "I can't, MED-E. They're counting on me. You know that."

"I suggest you stay indoors and rest." 

This time the man did not humor a reply. Grabbing his shotgun, he turned away from the echoing robot. Weaving his way between countless sleeping bags and stretchers, he set out into the wilderness again. Everyone was counting on him.

"Please stay indoors and rest." 

Trivia[]

  • The soldier in the logbook entry might be an Enforcer, which is a playable character in Risk of Rain and Risk of Rain Returns. This is suggested by their blue combat helmet, shotgun, and their statement, "And everyone else is recovering from last night's attacks. Without the enforcers, we probably wouldn't have-"
