Health Kit

 Healing in Borderlands is accomplished in several ways. A player can use health kits, a health regenerating shield, a transfusion grenade mod, or a class specific ability. A character will not heal over time without some type of intervention.  Med Kits and Insta-Healths are the two types of health kits available to the player to regain health. Med Kits provide healing over time, while Insta-Healths, as the name implies, provide an almost instantaneous health regain. Each type comes in multiple levels of potency. Med Kits Med Kits, or a Healing Kit, are available for purchase from Medical Vending Machines and occasionally found in lockers. Healing kits can be carried in your storage deck (aka backpack) and provide the player with a means to heal during and after combat. Healing kits provide X amount of healing over 10 seconds, where X is dependent upon the level of the healing kit.     Insta-Healths <dl _rte_empty_lines_before="1">Insta-Healths, or an Insta-Health Vial, are also available for purchase from Medical Vending Machines</a>. They can also be dropped by a slain enemy or found in trash/skag piles. Insta-Health Vials can not be carried in your storage deck. They can only be used immediately, whether when purchased or when looted. If the character is at full health then the vial can not be picked up.</dd></dl><p _rte_fromparser="true">  <dl _rte_empty_lines_before="2"> </dd></dl><p _rte_fromparser="true">  <h2 _rte_empty_lines_before="2">See Also <ul><li _rte_spaces_before="1">Medical Vending Machine</a></li><li _rte_spaces_before="1">Transfusion Grenade Mod</a></li><li _rte_spaces_before="1">Healing Shields</a></li></ul></dd></dl>
