Look, getting shot is part of the game in ARC Raiders, but staying alive afterwards is what separates the pros from the loot piñatas. If you are running around without meds, or worse, relying on random mushrooms you find in the dirt, you are doing it wrong. Your health bar doesn't regenerate on its own like in other shooters, so you need to bring the right stuff if you want to extract.
This page covers every healing item in the game, from basic Bandages (which are slow but cheap) to the high-tier Vita Shots and Vita Sprays that can basically bring you back from the dead instantly. We also talk about Stims—like the Adrenaline Shot for unlimited sprinting—and Revive items. Did you know you can revive teammates faster if you have a Defibrillator? Yeah, don't be that guy taking 10 seconds to pick up your buddy in the middle of a firefight.
We also explain the difference between healing your Health vs recharging your Shields. They use totally different items (like Shield Rechargers vs Medkits), and using the wrong one at the wrong time will get you killed. Check out the list below to see crafting recipes and which meds you should always keep in your Quick Slots.
