First Aid Kit & Bandages

When soldiers are hit by certain damage or bleed out, they will becomewoundedand fall to the ground, whereupon a30-second timerwill start. If the timerreaches 0, they will die.
Medics, however, can revive these wounded soldiers. Often, medics will first need to carry these soldiers away from imminent danger, and this is done by pressingEnext to them. While being carried, a wounded soldier’s death timer will pause.
After carrying them to relative safety, medics canpress 1 to equip their Trauma Kit, which is hopefully stocked up with Blood Plasma. Doing so will automatically drop the wounded soldier. To revive them, simply hold down theLeft Mouse Button.
Revived soldiers will still be wounded, so heal them with a First Aid Kit after reviving them.
