How to Cure Injuries in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Snake can suffer from various injuries when faced with hostile enemies and environments, which eventually shorten his max HP in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. When this happens, players will be notified to open up the cure menu in Survival Viewer, which will showcase a complete x-ray of Snake's body and the nature of the injuries. You'll need to manually heal the injuries by using the available items.

How to Heal HP in MGS Delta: Snake Eater

Life Medicine Heal HP Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater

Once players have taken care of curing injuries in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, they'll need to recover their HP to survive incoming damage during fights. There are two main ways to recover HP in the game.

Health Regeneration: Snake will automatically regenerate his HP when he doesn't receive any damage for a while. The health recovery speed depends on the amount of stamina he has. Players can consume food to recover stamina and speed up HP regeneration in the process.
Life Medicine: Alternatively, players can use a medkit-like item called Life Medicine, which can instantly recover Snake's HP completely. While it's a useful consumable to have, it's rare to find in the wilderness and should only be used in an emergency. Instead, players should primarily rely on health regeneration to recover HP.
