Medicine
Autoinjectors
Most auto injectors have 3 uses in each of them. Each injection will induce half of the overdose threshold of their chemical, so be cautious when injecting more than their overdose limits.
Autoinjector Type: | What it does: | Dosage: | Overdose: |
---|---|---|---|
Emergency Auto-injector |
An auto-injector loaded with a special cocktail of chemicals, to be used in a life-threatening situations. Contains 29 units of bicaridine, 29 units of kelotane and 19 units of oxycodone. | 77 units | Additional chemicals listed in its contents. |
Bicaridine |
Heals brute damage, faster than tricordrazine. Overdose causes burn damage first, and then toxin damage. | 15 units | 30 units |
Tramadol |
Standard issue painkiller of moderate strength, used to keep marines from paincrit, pain slowdown or whining about broken bones. Overdose causes toxin damage. | 15 units | 30 units |
Pain-Stop |
A version of the Tramadol autoinjector that can be used by everyone. Found in First-Aid pouches and NanoMed dispensers. Overdose causes toxin damage. | 15 units | 30 units |
Tricordrazine |
Heals toxin, burn, brute and oxy damage, albeit quite slowly. Overdose causes brain, toxin, burn, and brute damage. | 15 units | 30 units |
First-Aid |
A version of the Tricordrazine autoinjector that can be used by everyone. Found in First-Aid pouches and NanoMed dispensers. Overdose causes brain, toxin, burn, and brute damage. | 15 units | 30 units |
Dexalin+ |
Instantly heals all respiration damage. Overdose causes toxin damage. | 1 unit | 15 units |
Kelotane |
Heals burn damage. Overdose causes brute and toxin damage. | 15 units | 30 units |
Dylovene |
Heals toxin damage Overdose causes blindness. | 15 units | 30 units |
Quick Clot |
Stops all bleeding but does not repair it, surgery is still required for internal bleeding after use. Overdose causes quick death due to brute, burn and toxin damage. | 10 units | 15 units |
Inaprovaline |
Stabilizes critical patients, slowing down their oxygen damage buildup. Also acts like a weak painkiller. Overdose causes heart damage. | 15 units | 60 units |
Epinephrine |
An autoinjector loaded with 10 units of Epinephrine, better known as Adrenaline, a nerve stimulant useful in restarting the heart. | 10 units | +10 units |
Oxycodone |
Very robust painkiller, practically making all of your pain go away - metabolizes fairly quickly, though. Very useful as anesthetic as well. Overdose causes hallucinations and toxin damage. | 10 units | 20 units |
Remember that you can restock your autoinjectors, so don't just throw them away. Put them back into your belt instead, they can be refilled at the WeylandMed vendors - just click on them to refill the injector if you have access to them. They don't need to be empty in order to be refilled - simply left click the vendor with a non-full injector in your active hand.
Pill Bottles
You can hover over a pill bottle and see at a glance what chemicals the pill bottle contains by looking at the bottom left of your game window or by remembering the color code the pill bottle has.
Pill bottles from vendors and lifesaver bags have a fixed color for the pill bottles and pills every round. However, if a pill bottle comes from chemistry, you will need to refer to both the label name for the pill bottle and the examined contents of the pills inside.
Item: | What it does: | Dosage: | Overdose: |
---|---|---|---|
Tramadol | Standard issue painkiller of moderate strength, used to keep marines from paincrit, pain slowdown or whining about broken bones. Overdose causes toxin damage. | 15 Units | 30 Units |
Peridaxon | Stops most symptoms from Organ damage but does not fix them. Available from marine medical vendors. Overdose causes brute damage. | 10 Units | 15 Units |
Dexalin | Removes oxygen damage at a moderate rate. Overdose causes toxin damage. | 15 Units | 30 Units |
Russian Red | Removes radiation and causes Brute damage every cycle. (Note: currently disabled and should not appear during normal gameplay.) | 10 Units | 10 Units |
Quick Clot | Temporarily halts internal and external bleeding. | 10 Units | 15 Units |
Note: Dosages are for pills found in MarineMed vendors, medics' Automated Equipment Racks, Lifesaver Bags, and the Requisitions medical crate.

Equipment
Item: | What it does: |
---|---|
Health Analyzer |
Basic tool of every single medic - this miraculous item allows you to see the patient's status, showing the damage, bleeding, internal bleeding and broken bones. Keep in mind that this toy won't show you which bones are broken unless it's a limb. Don't leave your home without it. You can also scan a patient's vitals through a stasis bag by just clicking on the stasis bag with the analyzer in hand. |
HealthMate HUD |
When worn, allows you to see marines and other personnel's health bars, essentially giving you at quick glance an idea of what condition they are in. If the bar's empty, the patient's dead - yet if they still have a little heart rate icon icon next to the bar, they can still be brought back to life with a defibrillator. If there is no health bar it means that the patient is at 100% health. The Healthmate Hud also allows you to add holographic cards onto marines you examine for triage purposes (same way that you mark criminals as 'wanted' with security HUD glasses). Scan reports are stored in the patient's medical records once viewed in the scanner console, when you wear a HealthMate HUD you can view their latest scan report by examining them. |
Gauze |
Basic gauze used to stop the bleeding and fix brute trauma over time. |
Ointment |
Basic burn treatment item that heals 1 burn damage once applied and fixes it over time. |
Advanced Trauma Kit |
Used to treat moderate to high brute damage. Heals 12 brute damage once applied and fixes it over time.The time spent of using the trauma kit and efficiency depends of one's medical skill. |
Advanced Burn Kit |
Used to treat moderate to high burn damage. Heals 12 burn damage once applied and fixes it over time. The time spent of using the burn kit depends of one's medical skill. |
Splints |
Used to hold that broken/fractured bone of yours in place so you don't die. The time spent of using the splints depends of one's medical skill. |
Hypospray |
An experimental high-end chemical injector, used for instant injections. Holds 30 units. Injects 5 units per use. Can be empty or preloaded with Tricordrazine. Can dissolve pills into. Can be unlocked using a screwdriver or the 'Unlock Hypospray' verb, to allow the vial capsule to be ejected like a magazine. |
Emergency Defibrillator |
Used to bring recently dead marines and other personnel back to life. Can be recharged in a special recharger (usually located in the medbay)
|
Stasis Bag |
Used to store critically injured patients.
|
Body Bag |
Used to store your recently dead comrades.
|
Syringe |
Used to inject marines and other personnel with ungodly chemicals, or as a ghetto IV drip. Can instantly inject (At the cost of some brute damage, and a broken syringe.) if used on harm intent. |
Syringe Case |
Used to store syringes and syringe bottles. Contains 3 slots. |
Roller Bed |
Allows you to quickly transport injured marines and other personnel across the battlefield. Can be folded up when not in use.
|
Med Evac Stretcher |
Used to airlift patients to a supporting dropship. Functions in the same way as a roller bed but cannot be moved when deployed. To activate the med evac beacon on the stretcher (Right click the stretcher then click "Activate Medevac". Only medics (or marine personnel with equal or higher medical skill) can activate the beacon and it can only be used outdoors or if the ceiling is glass (examine the tile to check.).).
|
Portable Surgical Bed |
A collapsible bed used for field surgery. Functions in the same way as a roller bed but cannot be moved when deployed.
|
IV Drip |
Allows you to inject blood into a patient or extract blood from them to do a blood transfusion.
|
Blood Bag |
Holds blood inside of it. Make sure the blood type's compatible with the recipient. |
Surgical Line |
A roll of military-grade surgical line, able to seamlessly seal and tend any wound. Also works as a robust fishing line for maritime deployments. |
Medical Contraptions
Cryogenic Chambers
- Used for putting critical patients into stasis and treating patients with genetic damage. Be sure to check periodically to see if the chambers need to be restocked with chemicals and if your patient is sufficiently healed. The tubes will auto-eject patients once they're completely healed.
- The extreme cold of the cryotube will give patients a slight (single-digit) amount of burn damage.
- Cryogenic chambers will halt the development of alien larva/embryos. You can use one of these just like you could use a stasis bag if you cannot immediately tend to a patient with a larva.
- Additionally they prevent blood loss while the patients are inside
Setting Up Cryo
NOTE: Currently the Almayer's power grid is fully operational at round start and stays as such throughout the round. To set up the two cryotubes in medbay, you simply need to:
- Take a nearby beaker filled with appropriate medicine, for example the two Cryoxadone small beakers in the Chemistry Station, then click on the cryo cell to load the beaker in.
- Set the cryotube to On.
While Clonexadone is a fairly efficient medical chem (and Cryoxadone to a much lesser extent), consider using a larger, 120u beaker, and adding additional useful chems, like Nutriment, Alkysine, Imiadzoline, Dermaline etc. to heal even more types of damage (or to simply stack healing effects with Cryoxadone/Clonexadone) at once, beyond what the standard cryotube chemicals can do.
Sleepers
To put a patient inside the sleeper use grab intent and click on the patient then the sleeper. To take out the patient right click the sleeper then click Eject Occupant.
- Sleepers are used to administer medication and perform dialysis.
- The sleepers will not stabilize critical patients, though they can be used to administer inaprovaline.
- Dialysis: Once the patient is inside, click 'Start Dialysis'. Dialysis filters out blood, having the bonus of pulling out chemicals. This treatment should be used when you believe someone to be overdosing or to be poisoned. The beaker inside the sleeper will fill with the blood and eventually you will need to empty it. To retrieve the beaker, right-click on the sleeper and click 'eject beaker'. Dialysis can cause a patient to suffer from severe blood loss if the patient is left in too long.
Advanced Body Scanner
To put a patient inside the body scanner use grab intent and click on the patient then the body scanner. To take out the patient right click the body scanner then click Eject Occupant.
- The Body scanner is mainly used to locate broken bones, organ damage, shrapnel, and any unwanted guests in your stomach.
- Use the console to interact with the body scanner, this allows you to print out a report to send along with the patient to surgery which will help the surgeon. Additionally, there will be a scan report that is attached to the person you've scanned when you examine them.
AutoDoc
The AutoDoc is an extremely useful machine in medical that can automatically fix a marine with any number of injuries, just be aware that it cannot perform larva removal. To learn more about the AutoDoc and it's features head here.
Medical Procedures
Autopsy
- Aim for the affected area on the deceased using the Target Zone.
- Cut the skin with your scalpel (the chest may require two cuts).
- Use the autopsy scanner to scan the area.
- Repeat scalpel and scan procedure for all affected areas.
- Right click the autopsy scanner to print out autopsy data.
CPR
CPR will keep someone in hard crit (>150 damage) alive by reducing their oxy damage. If you notice a marine or other personnel gasping and on the floor, they may require CPR, otherwise, they will reach 200 damage in total and suffocate.
- First you'll want to set your intent to help.
- Make sure you aren't wearing a mask.
- Have an empty hand.
- Click on the gasping injured player.
- If you start shaking them, they don't have enough oxygen damage to permit the use of CPR.
- Once you start doing CPR keep doing it until you can get them to a safe location or to a medic.
- CPR can also extend the timer of dead marines that are still revivable. The default time a marine has after death is 5 minutes before becoming clinically declared dead. (Permanent death)
- If the person you are CPRing is deceased, doing CPR requires 4 seconds and adds 7 seconds to the dead marine's defibbable status timer. You have to wait in between CPRs for a total of 3 seconds or else the CPR fails. Failing CPR does not add time to the marine's timer.
Pro tip you can grab them in one hand and do CPR with the other.
Defibrillator Usage
- Locate deceased with a green/orange heart rate icon next to their health bar (Only visible if wearing the healthmate HUD.).
- Strip armor of the recently deceased (To do so, click drag the patient to your character and click on their armor).
- Scan the deceased with a health analyzer.
- Apply Trauma and Burn kits to the deceased to lower their combined brute and burn damage to 200 or below. Pro tip: Using your numpad keys allows you to quickly cycle through limbs to decrease the total time required to kit them.
- Use the defibrillator on the deceased. (If the defib fails to resuscitate them, keep trying as defibing heals them for 12 + 4 brute and 4 burns)
- Apply necessary medicine to the recently resuscitated patient. Inaprovaline is useful for preventing degradation of the patient's condition. You can also use CPR to help prevent this degradation and remove Oxy damage by clicking on your unconscious patient with the Aid Intent active; especially useful if you lack medications.
- You can also apply necessary medicine BEFORE resuscitation but it will not be metabolized until the patient is living again. (You can give inaprovaline before reviving to stabilize them after they are resuscitated.)
- RECOMMENDED: If available, inject epinephrine (use Hypospray/Syringe) into the patient before defibrillating. This will greatly enhance the amount you heal per each attempt, in addition to clearing all oxygen damage on revival. ([12 + 16 brute and 16 burns] healed damage instead of [12 + 4 brute and 4 burns])
- If you see a marine with an orange line on your HUD that has a lot of damage when scanned, ask a nearby marine to "CPR!" if any are in the vicinity.
- And please, don't ever give up if you see someone with over 200 damage. You can use advanced trauma and burn kits while defibbing with your other hand. You can also inject epinephrine while defibbing. Don't give up. Keep going. Save that marine!
Defibrillator icons
There are 5 main icons when defibrillating a patient.
- The green heart rate icon states they are revivable.
- The red flatline icon states they have voluntarily opted out of being revived, or their client has been disconnected. If they did not go DNR, their Internet connection may have died whilst they were dead in which case it's possible for them to come back from this state, or they were banned.
- The orange heart rate indicates their defib timer has almost expired. If you see it going from green to orange, it means the marine has exactly 1 minute left unless being CPR'd to increase their defib timer.
- The broken heart indicates that the patient's heart has suffered too much trauma for revival attempts. This is known as heartbreak. The message will say: "Patient's general condition does not allow reviving." To fix this, a doctor must repair their heart in time before any further revival attempts are under taken. If a doctor is not immediately available, peform CPR on the corpse to extend their defib timer until a doctor can peform surgery to repair the heart.
- The skull icon indicates they are not able to be revived.
Lost Causes
Don't try to defib any of the following corpses:
- Chestbursted personnel
- Decapitated personnel
- If you receive the message "Patient is braindead" or "Patient is DNR" from the defibrillator when you try to defib them.
Defibrillator Tips
- If someone is brought back to life with a defib then die immediately afterwards, their death timer is reset.
- Defibrillators have a 25% chance of dealing 5 heart damage each time a shock is successfully applied. This is significant, as heart damage between 1 and 10 reduces effective blood volume by 80%, which, in turn, assuming the marine has full blood, will cause 20 oxygen damage on its own. Try to keep the patient alive after first defibrillation to minimize heart damage dealt. If at all possible, prefer to apply brute and burn kits and suture over defibrillating, as both methods reduce damage at a higher rate than defibrillating and do not incur heart damage.
- Your patients won't get their items back on by themselves the majority of the time. If you can, redress them.
- Switching hands while using a defibrillator will NOT CANCEL its use. You're able to operate the defibrillator while using another item in your off hand.
- Performing CPR on a patient will extend the defib time if done no often than once every 10 seconds.
- The only time a defibrillator loses charge is when it's used. There is also a brief delay after activating one before you can use it. It is entirely possible and recommended to turn one on and leave it that way in your bag until needed.
- The continued application of the defib onto a deceased personnel member, upon each attempt lowers the combined damage slightly. This damage is increased through the use of epinephrine.
- If "Vitals signs are weak" is displayed it means that their combined brute/burn damage is over 200, keep using the defibrillator to lower that damage if you've already applied trauma and burn kits.
- Alternatively, it means that they've left their body and won't return if the combined damage is now below 200. Examine the corpse and if it says "Soul is departed" then give them ten to twenty seconds before defibbing again. If you get it again, then the player doesn't want to be revived.
Synthetic Maintenance
- To revive a dead synthetic use a defib on them. Synthetics need to have their head attached to their torso and have combined total damage below 200 points. Defibs do not repair damage on dead synthetics like they do on humans, you must repair the excess damage first.
- To fix brute damage on a synths body use a blowtorch on help intent.
- To fix burn damage on a synths body use cable coil.
- To fix heart/brain damage, apply nanopaste to that bodypart (head/chest)
Overdose Treatment
Dialysis
- Put your patient into a sleeper.
- Make sure it has a non-full, preferably empty beaker inside of it.
- Select "Start dialysis" option below the injections and wait few moments.
- Eject the patient and scan him just to notice his blood's clean.
Keep in mind that dialysis is a process that takes time, the chems won't flush out immediately.
Blood Transfusions
- Load a blood pack into an IV and then hook the patient up to it.
- Alternately you can extract blood from a marine/other personnel if they have the right blood type by hooking them up to an IV with an empty blood pack then effectively use their blood on a patient who requires more blood.
- Iron and nutriment pills can be made to help speed up blood recovery.
- Eating food also speeds up blood recovery.
Blood Compatibility
General Tips
- You can heal internal bleeding with bicaridine overdose if the patient does not have any brute damage. This will not work if the patient has brute damage, the bicardine OD will first heal all of patient's brute damage before beginning to heal internal bleeding. If used, administer kelotane to the patient to counter the burn damage done by the overdose, and kit any damaged body parts to ensure brute damage is at 0. Inform the patient they have IB, and that you are overdosing them on bicaridine. The patient will take toxin damage and will require dylovene if the overdose is over 45 units, so be careful. If the patient has an exceedingly high amount of brute damage, administer quick clot and evacuate them for surgery.
- The cryo cells loaded with cyroxadone can slowly heal internal bleeding, depending on the severity of it. Clonexadone heals internal bleeding as well, but faster.
