Forsaken Medkit Guide: Healing Strategies for the Real Item System (2026)

This Forsaken medkit guide covers the one healing item that actually spawns in public rounds. A Medkit takes 7 seconds to use, restores 80 HP, slows you heavily while you use it, and disappears afterwards. Everything else you may have read about healing in Forsaken — progress bars, charges, skill checks — comes from other games. Healing in Forsaken is small, scarce and decisive, which is exactly why a Forsaken medkit guide is worth writing properly. The Official Forsaken Wiki lists just two items that can spawn in standard rounds — the Medkit and the Bloxy Cola — and eleven more that exist only through the command panel in private servers. Of the two public items, only the Medkit restores health, and the alternatives are character abilities: Elliot's Pizza Throw, Dusekkar's Spawn Protection and Veeronica's Active Battery. This page sets out what a Medkit does to the second, where it comes from, how much health each survivor has to lose and each killer's basic hit takes away, and how to time a heal against a killer roster whose every member has a tool that punishes standing still. It also clears up the Fake Medkit, which is real but never appears in matchmaking.

Medkit at a glance (Official Forsaken Wiki)

• Type: Support item, found on all maps
• Use time: 7 seconds, heavily slowed while healing
• Effect: +80 HP; item is consumed
• At full health: red text "Sharing is caring..." and no effect
• Public-round item pool: Medkit and Bloxy Cola only
• Fake Medkit: private-server command panel only

What a Medkit does, exactly

The wiki's description is short and complete. After picking up a Medkit, you click or tap to begin healing; the animation runs for 7 seconds, during which your character is heavily slowed; when it finishes the item disappears from your slot and you receive 80 HP. Trying to use one at full health produces the red on-screen text "Sharing is caring..." and nothing happens, which is the game telling you to hand it to someone who needs it.

Why 80 is a lot

Most survivors have 100 HP — Noob, 007n7, Shedletsky, Taph and Veeronica — while Guest 1337 has 110, Builderman and Dusekkar 90, Elliot 80 and Jane Doe 60. Killer basic attacks land for between 20 and 28: John Doe's Slash 28, c00lkidd's Tag 26.5, Noli's Stab 25, Nosferatu's Lacerate 24, and 1x1x1x1, Slasher and Guest 666 at 20. One Medkit therefore buys back three to four basic hits — for most of the roster, very nearly a full health bar.

Why 7 seconds is a long time

Every killer runs at 27 to 28 studs per second against your 26, and several have tools built for a stationary target. The wiki's own strategy note for killers says it directly: if a player near you is using this item, it is the best time to attack them with the most powerful ability you have. Seven slowed seconds is time for a Void Rush, a Corrupt Energy cast or a charged Demonic Pursuit. The heal is strong; the window to use it is the whole skill.

Where Medkits come from

Medkits spawn in specific spots marked on each map, and the wiki notes that which of those spots are used is randomly selected each round. There is no fixed count per map published, and no way to bring one into a round — you find it or you do not.

Learn the spots, not the odds

The wiki's survivor advice is to memorise the marked spawn locations on each map so you can collect a Medkit at the start of the round. Because the spots are fixed and only the selection is random, a player who knows all of a map's positions checks two or three on the way to a generator instead of searching. Our maps hub at /forsaken-maps covers every map in the pool.

One per inventory

The Fake Medkit page confirms the limit that applies to the real one too: a player can hold only one Medkit at a time. If you already carry one and are healthy, the wiki's advice is to give it to an injured teammate rather than sit on it.

Every Healing Source in Forsaken (Public Rounds)

All values from the Official Forsaken Wiki. The Medkit is the only item; everything else is a character ability, so the healing your team has depends on who was picked.

Source	Heals	Time / cooldown	Condition
Medkit (item)	80 HP to yourself	7 s use	Spawns at marked spots; one held at a time; consumed
Elliot — Pizza Throw	5 HP instantly + 15 HP over 4 s	30 s cooldown; pizza lasts 25 s	Heals others only; +8 Player Points per heal; 15% weaker per extra Elliot in the match (cap 80%)
Elliot — Order Up! (passive)	+2 HP per completed objective, cap +10	Permanent for the round	Bonus added to every Pizza Throw
Dusekkar — Spawn Protection	Prevents a killing blow	Shield ability	+7 Player Points for 3.5 s of protection, +10 for saving a life
Veeronica — Active Battery	Self-heal scaled by battery %	Battery gains 8 per generator layer	She cannot use Medkits at all
Bloxy Cola (item)	No healing — Speed II for 10 s	4 s drink	The other public item; second cola gives Speed I only

Guest 666 is the exception to all of this: his Hemorrhage covers part of the health bar with vines, and health under the vines cannot be healed back. Healing a Hemorrhage-inflicted survivor still pays +10 Player Points.

Healing strategy by role

Because healing is a 7-second commitment or a teammate's cooldown, the strategy is about timing and geography rather than about the item itself.

Any survivor: heal where the killer is not

Start the Medkit only when you have broken line of sight and the killer is committed elsewhere — chasing someone, casting, or across the map. Unequipping the item cancels the heal, so if the killer appears mid-animation you lose the time but keep the Medkit. Never heal beside a generator you intend to work: the interruption that stops your heal will also reset any teammate's puzzle layer nearby.

Elliot: heal after the generator, not before

Order Up! adds 2 HP to every Pizza Throw each time the objective counter rises, capping at +10. A pizza thrown after two generators heals 24 instead of 20 total. His other passive, Deliverer's Resolve, reveals any damaged survivor's aura to him for 12 seconds, so he knows who needs the pizza and where; and every heal charges Rush Hour, which stores up to three speed charges for an escape when a killer is within 85 studs.

007n7 and Veeronica

The wiki singles out two survivors. 007n7 can teleport and then use a Medkit, turning the 7-second slow into a heal the killer has to travel to reach. Veeronica cannot use Medkits or any consumable except the Bloxy Cola; her healing is Active Battery, charged 8 points per generator layer she completes, so the more she works generators the more she can heal herself.

Playing killer: the heal is your window

A healing survivor is slowed for 7 seconds. The wiki names 1x1x1x1's Entanglement — a thrown-sword root — as the tool for catching healers, and the same logic applies to John Doe's Corrupt Energy spikes, Nosferatu's Blood Hook and Guest 666's charged Demonic Pursuit. If you hear or see a heal starting, that is the moment to spend the cooldown you have been saving.

The Fake Medkit does not spawn in public rounds. It is a command-panel item for private servers: identical in appearance to a real Medkit, a 7-second startup during which you cannot run, and then nothing — no health, and the item stays in your inventory. Guides that tell you to "check for fake medkits" in matchmaking are describing a private-server prank, not a public mechanic. In a public round, a Medkit is a Medkit.

Questions players ask

The searches that lead people to this page, answered from the wiki.

Can you heal other survivors in Forsaken?

Not with a Medkit — it heals only the user. Team healing comes from Elliot's Pizza Throw (5 instant plus 15 over 4 seconds, to others only) and, in the sense of preventing damage, Dusekkar's Spawn Protection. If you are healthy and holding a Medkit, drop it for an injured teammate; the game's own "Sharing is caring..." message is the hint.

How many Medkits spawn per match?

The wiki does not publish a count. It documents that Medkits spawn at specific marked spots whose selection is random each round, and that the Medkit and Bloxy Cola are the only two items that appear in standard rounds. Plan for scarcity rather than for a number.

Does a Medkit heal Hemorrhage from Guest 666?

Only the uncovered part. Hemorrhage grows vines over a portion of the health bar, and any health the vines cover cannot be healed back by any source. Healing a Hemorrhage-inflicted survivor is still rewarded with +10 Player Points, so it is worth doing for what it does restore.

Should I heal or work the generator?

Count hits, not health. With 100 HP and killers hitting for 20 to 28, you survive three basic hits from most of the roster and four from 1x1x1x1, Slasher or Guest 666. If you are down one hit, the generator layer (three seconds off the clock, 5 Player Points) is usually the better 7 seconds; down two or more, heal first — a third hit ends your round and extends the killer's clock.

Final Thoughts

Forsaken's healing system is one item and three abilities. The Medkit restores 80 HP over 7 slowed seconds and is one of exactly two items that spawn in public rounds; Elliot's Pizza Throw is the only way to heal a teammate, Dusekkar can prevent a death outright, and Veeronica heals herself through generator work because she cannot use Medkits. Learn the marked spawn spots on your maps, heal only when the killer is committed elsewhere, and remember that every killer's best ability is waiting for the moment you stand still.

• Medkit: 7 seconds, +80 HP, heavily slowed, consumed on use — heals only yourself
• Only the Medkit and Bloxy Cola spawn in public rounds; the other 11 items are private-server command-panel only
• Elliot heals others for 5 + 15 over 4 s, more after each completed objective; +8 Player Points per heal
• Fake Medkit exists only in private servers — there are no fakes in matchmaking
• Hemorrhage (Guest 666) blocks healing on the covered portion of the bar
