Health pickups are items that can be collected in the various maps during gameplay. They restore a set amount of the user's health when picked up and automatically regenerate after ten seconds. There are three different types of health pickups (small, medium, and large) that can be found with each restoring a different amount of hitpoints depending on the size of the pickup and the class you're currently playing. There are also Halloween variants of the health pickups, which can be seen below in the image gallery.

A player can be healed by several different methods, including healing by friendly Medics. Since these pickups are a vital item in combat be sure to use them wisely; consider letting a teammate who has less health than you grab it, or especially a nearby Medic who may need it. When healed by any source outside of a Medic's healing, a small green-colored cross is emitted in the lower-left HUD along with the number of hitpoints restored.

Health kits

All health kits have a 10 second respawn time.

  • Small Health Pickup: heals one fifth (20%) of the user's health.
  • Medium Health Pickup: heals half (50%) of the user's health.
  • Large Health Pickup: heals all (100%) of the user's health.

Particle effects

Main article: Particle effects

  • Medic Call

  • The particle emitted from RED players picking up health

  • The particle emitted from BLU players picking up health

  • The team-colored particle emitted from players with a health-drain penalty (for example, the Gloves of Running Urgently)

Strategy

  • Use health pickups to instantly extinguish fire.
  • Use health pickups to their full potential. If an item heals you for 50%, consider waiting until your health drops below 50% before picking it up.
  • Staying next to a Dispenser or cart in battle can give you a healing advantage.
  • As a Spy, it is possible to use health pickups even at full health in order to change the displayed health of your disguise. Alternatively, try to discreetly take health pickups when injured and disguised; attentive players may notice the pickup being taken.
  • Note that unlike the Medi Gun, Kritzkrieg, Eyelander, Powerjack and Conniver's Kunai, health pickups will not overheal you.
  • The Heavy can recharge an alt-fire dropped Sandvich by picking up any health kit, assuming he already has full HP when he does so. Consider dropping the Sandvich for a teammate instead of letting them pick up a small health kit. This will recover 50% of their health instead of 20%.
  • The Medic call-out bubble gets progressively redder as the player loses health. As a Medic, use this as an indicator to prioritize healing.

Trivia

  • The sound for picking up a health kit is the same for getting health in Template:W, another Valve title.
