Playing as a medic in Foxhole is one of the most rewarding experiences, as you will always be helping other players, and receiving their gratitude. Even the enemy can be healed. Medics can stop the bleeding and heal players back to full, and they can also revive soldiers who have been downed, who would otherwise die when the timer runs out.
Foxhole: Airborne - Announcement Trailer
Take a look at the announcement trailer for Foxhole: Airborne, which is set to take the massively multiplayer game to the skies.
This guide on how to play as a medic in Foxhole should also be useful for regular infantry, who need to know about the medical equipment and techniques in case they need to chip in and do some emergency healing. The information below is therefore great for beginners in Foxhole.
Best Equipment & Loadout For Medics In Foxhole
As there are no skills or classes in Foxhole, any player can be a medic or heal another soldier; they simply need the right equipment.
Once players have equipped all the correct gear, perhaps including a backup pistol for safety, they will want to save the loadout to make future respawns easier.
Medic Uniform In Foxhole
For the best medic build in Foxhole, players will first want to equip a medical uniform, as medical supplies can then stack and won't be as cumbersome. Allied soldiers can also better identify medics in the correct uniform, although it is not necessary for healing to work if none are available.
This uniform and the rest of the medical supplies can be found at a base and by clicking E to bring up the stockpile.
First Aid Kit & Bandages
Bandages can be thought of as a resource for the First Aid Kit, but equipping them together is a little finicky. To make sure the Bandages go into the kit, make sure both are in your inventory but not equipped. To unequip the First Aid Kit, press 3, and then press again to equip it. In the top left it should say 10/10 uses available.
Bandages and the First Aid Kit are used to stop bleeding and heal injured soldiers.
Trauma Kit & Blood Plasma
Blood Plasma is the resource required for the Trauma Kit, which sits in the primary slot instead of a main weapon. Before equipping the Trauma Kit by pressing 1, players will want to have Blood Plasma in their inventory so that they are equipped together.
As this will only grant one use, players will have to repeat this process after reviving a wounded soldier with the Trauma kit.
Having a Gas Mask & filters for it can also be useful for medics.
How To Heal In Foxhole (First Aid Kit & Bandages)
Soldiers covered in blood are injured and if blood is actively spurting from them, they are bleeding out. As a medic, bleeding-out soldiers should be your priority as they lose 1 HP every second.
To heal injured soldiers, medics will need to go up to them with a First Aid Kit equipped. It is equipped by pressing 3 and to heal, hold down the Left Mouse Button. Importantly, the First Aid Kit must be stocked up with Bandages.
The cursor will say Treating, and once done it will say Treating Complete. The duration depends on how injured they were. If a soldier is at full health, and you attempt to heal them, it will say No one to treat.
Remember that each time you use the First Aid Kit, at least one Bandage will be consumed.
How To Heal Yourself In Foxhole
Unfortunately, Medics also get hurt and if another isn't around, they will need to heal themselves. Additionally, all infantry should know how to heal themselves in Foxhole, as this will stop the bleeding.
7 Best Open-World War Games
War is a theme often encountered in video games, and these open-world games excel in their depiction of historical and fictional wars.
The First Aid Kit can't be used to heal oneself, so players will instead have to equip a Bandage. Regular infantry can carry a Bandage in their backpack for this reason. To heal, simply hold down the Left Mouse Button.
This will only stop the bleeding, and to be fully healed, another medic must be found.
How To Revive In Foxhole (Trauma Kit & Blood Plasma)
When soldiers are hit by certain damage or bleed out, they will become wounded and fall to the ground, whereupon a 30-second timer will start. If the timer reaches 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 pressing E next to them. While being carried, a wounded soldier's death timer will pause.
After carrying them to relative safety, medics can press 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 the Left Mouse Button.
Revived soldiers will still be wounded, so heal them with a First Aid Kit after reviving them.
How To Use Ambulances As A Medic In Foxhole
Ambulances in Foxhole serve a few purposes. They allow medics to travel faster to locations that might need their help, they can transport large quantities of medical supplies, and they can also take Critically Wounded Soldiers to hospitals.
How To Build An Ambulance In Foxhole
To build an ambulance in Foxhole, find a garage by looking for the truck symbol on the map. At the garage, press E to bring up the build menu and select the Dunne Responder 3e or R-12 "Sallus" Ambulance.
- 150 Basic Materials will be required.
- Left-Click on the ambulance icon to start building it.
- Then hold down the Left Mouse Button for quite a while to build.
- Make sure to bring diesel.
Stocking An Ambulance In Foxhole
To stock an ambulance with medical supplies, drive up to a stockpile at a base and press E. Players can then Shift + Left-Click on Bandages, for example, to move multiple at a time into the ambulance.
A huge advantage of an ambulance is that once it is fully stocked, medics can instantly take medical supplies, rather than having to spend time assembling the items one by one with a timer from a base. In other words, an ambulance parked near the front line will result in much more efficient medical care.
Hospitals & Critically Wounded Soldiers In Foxhole
When a soldier is killed in Foxhole, there is a 40% chance that they will become a Critically Wounded Soldier, which is technically an item in game terms. The player who controlled the soldier will respawn as someone else, but this wounded soldier can still be of use to the team.
32 Games Set In World War 2
Call of Duty: Vanguard isn't for everyone. Luckily for history buff gamers, World War 2 is a popular setting for shooters and strategy titles.
By recovering these soldiers and taking them to a hospital to be treated, Soldier Supplies will be created. These supplies, often known as 'shirts' for their icon, allow players to spawn at a base. If there aren't any, then there will be no reinforcements, making them incredibly valuable.
How To Recover A Critically Wounded Soldier In Foxhole
Critically Wounded Soldiers can be identified by the fact that they are lying on their side with no blood covering them.
- Walk up and press V.
- Carry them to an ambulance and press V again.
- Pull up at a Hospital or Field Hospital.
- Press E to open the ambulance and click on the soldier to carry them again.
- At the hospital, press E to interact and then in the bottom left, click on the Submit Patient button.
Transporting the soldier in an ambulance isn't necessary, but it speeds up the process for long journeys.
There must be bed spaces at the hospital, and it will take around 10 minutes for the patient to turn into 4 Soldier Supplies.
How To Make A Field Hospital In Foxhole
If players aren't near a proper hospital, they can build their own Field Hospital, which doesn't have as many beds but is nevertheless useful.
- With a hammer equipped, Press B to bring up the build menu and select Field Hospital.
- 200 Basic Materials are required to build it.
- Hold the Right Mouse Button to rotate.
- Don't obstruct defenses and make sure it isn't too close to the front line, especially as the enemy may soon claim this ground.
Foxhole: Best Guns, Ranked
To dominate in Foxhole, players will need to know which weapons are the best. Here are Foxhole's greatest guns, ranked.
A Field Hospital can store medical supplies and has six beds, meaning six Critically Wounded Soldiers can be turned into Soldier Supplies at once. Players can then spawn at this Field Hospital thanks to the Soldier Supplies or these supplies can be taken to a base.
