Tourniquet recovery

Tourniquet recovery leaves you wounded and in need of follow-up medical treatment.

Good to know

  • 150 health; when downed you can sacrifice 50 max health to apply a tourniquet and get back up at 100; a Medkit or Bandage restores the lost 50. Self Revive is separate.
  • Every operator deploys with the Tourniquet ability. Wounded = 100 health instead of 150; a Medkit fully repairs the wound and makes the Tourniquet available again. Bandages, Stims or Pain Killers only temporarily restore 150 health, and while that temp health is active a Tourniquet cannot be used if downed again. Self Revives can be looted and printed.
