Is the healing kit for pred worth carrying?

#1

I hear with the new patch there’s a lot of boar now so is the healing kit worth carrying around or no?

#2

There are more boars, and yes now you can play without a first-aid kit. But it requires skill.

Thank you very much

The healing kit allows you to stay in the combat zone and heal instead of having to retreat, e.g. hopping on top of a building out of sight. It’s definitely possible to play without it now thanks to the pigs but you do give up on a bit of versatility.

If you are the scout it might be worth it, otherwise why not?

I appreciate y’alls input and opinions

I tried going without it for a while until I was in match where there was only one boar on the entire map and spent most of my time searching for one until the FT called for reinforcements.

I always bring a med kit as pred, boars are usually more abundant on the map now, and with the ability to track them, it helps to be able to get some health back, but sometimes they are across the map, and the risk of having to retrack the FT can make it not worth it, keep your med kit handy.

Stop using med kit the day the patch came out and haven’t used it since. I play pretty much only scout and with the gear buff the scout got I can now have traps and motion tracker.

i would imagine they’re good in a pinch, especially with reinforcements. i guess if you’re really good you could still get away with it but i still think you’re better off not needing it then not having it.

I wouldn’t take the med kit off, board are sometimes nowhere near you, and tracking is difficult as is with everyone staying mudded up, some games you may not need to heal at all but I won’t bank on not having to heal

you might get comfortable after enough playing that you will say ok i can do without this. then that game you will probably wish you had it. I go for boars as much as possible and will feed on boars mid firefight i think its funny to eat a boar like 20 feet away while the FT think you are hatching some sort of plan.

I will medkit heal if I’m right around the corner and just want to keep pressuring or right after a second wind but even then not really. Alot of the time they will be scanning the trees and looking out like crazy and you can get away with healing on the ground right beside them. I think the boar changes are awesome because you can totally pass on a heal instead of it being required.

I also take it because it is iconic.
