Medic Guide
Medics save players and supplies at once.
A medic keeps squads in the fight and keeps bases stocked. Every revive is a player who did not respawn — which means a uniform that was not consumed. Medics are logistics in a frontline role.

What a medic does
Medics treat wounded players and revive the downed before they die outright. A wounded soldier who is treated stays in the fight; a downed one who is revived avoids a respawn.
It is one of the most impactful frontline roles a new player can take.
Why revives are logistics
When a player respawns, a uniform is consumed from a base stockpile. A revive prevents that consumption entirely.
So a medic is not just saving lives — they are conserving the exact supplies logistics players worked to deliver.
How to medic safely
A dead medic helps no one. Treat people from cover, time revives for lulls in fire, and do not sprint across open ground to a body under active fire.
- Carry enough bandages and medical supplies for the squad
- Revive during suppression or lulls, not mid-firefight in the open
- Stay with the squad rather than roaming alone
- Know where to resupply medical gear
Supporting a squad
Position just behind the firing line where you can reach the wounded but are not the first target. Communicate so the squad knows a medic is present and where you are.
A squad that knows it has a medic fights more confidently and holds longer.
When to revive and when to wait
Revive when you can reach the body with reasonable safety. Wait, or pull back, when the area is still being swept by fire — a downed player can often be recovered after the position stabilises.
Do not trade a living medic for one risky revive.

Charging into open fire to revive one player and dying in the attempt. Now the squad has lost a medic too.
Hang one step behind the firing line. Close enough to revive, far enough not to be the first casualty.
