Healing? How does it work?
Hi,

i don't get it. First i thought "ok you only have 3 heals", then after trying to heal my self and the message no injects available i thought "ok you have to have enough energy to heal. But even with full energy and 3 injects the surge is always telling me that there are no injects left?

What do i miss? Really annoying --> I don't understand the healing mechanic in a game lol

Edit: Ok now i have done it but what a really weard design. I have to doubleclick B and holding it after the second click?

With the first injectable you get you don't need energy to use them, but you only have 3 charges per med bay visit. There is an implant in the first area that will convert energy into health, but you will need to remember to cycle through your injectables to use it. Also, the only usage restriction on the energy to health injectable is your energy.

Oh, and it won't let you heal if you are at full health, which is nice.

Four ways to heal: Implant that restores health when you rip limbs apart.
Implant that does instant healing and has 3 charges
Implant that does continuous healing and has 3 charges, restores more health but over 30secs
Implant that lets you channel your energy and exchange it for health, if you have enough energy.

Hello, certain "injectables", aka healing items, are with charges only ("Vital injection" and "Plasmic injection"), and others convert power from your armor ("Medi-Voltaic Injection").

Now here's one for y'all: Sometimes I get a little buff icon, and my health will slowly regenerate. I don't do anything specifically to get this, except stop moving. And even then it seems to be tied to a particular location, but I don't understand what about the location is special.
Also, occasionally I get two more injects (probably one per inject module). I'm guessing it has something to do with passing a threshold of held tech scrap.

which healing item do you try to use? there are multiple ways depending on the implantat equiped.

you start with 3 charges of common "estus flask" ( icon: a red cross with 2 white arrows downwards ) , you can stack this if you find more copies of that implant. i could equip up to 15 charges right now.
this one only needs lost health n a charge no nrg or sth else.

than there is sth similar to lifegems ( icon: red cross with a white arrow circlin around it ), it has 3 charges per implant

than there is an item using energie, which needs 20 nrg to be activated. ( if equiped there is a marker on your nrg bar showin the minimum requiered amoung )

than there are special effect heals ( icon: redcross inside a crosshair )
this one heals you when ever you kill an enemy with a finishin move.

you get 3 heals for that 1 you have equipped. you can put on 5 of them and heal 15 times if you want.. i typically just run, 1 of the 30 second heal mod, 1 of the use 20 energy to heal for 40hp. then I use gain extra energy per attack and the rest is max hp mods. you can heal for free from fighting this way and the 3 heals are for if i get in a bad situation.

Thx for all the answers. The problem was that i tried to heal by holding B and without any other healmodule nothing could happen. One hour later i doubleclicked B by accident.
Five Minutes later the ingame Tutorial tells me that i switch different Healthmodules by holding B...lol......
I'm not quite sure but maybe in german the first tutorial popup is wrong, because it doesn't tell the player that he has to doubleclick B. Anyway now i'm on my way :)

not sure what you're doing but none of the healing modules need a doubletap or anything. The only restriction is you can't be in the middle of an attack when hitting the heal button.

and adequate energy, if you're using the heals-for-energy one.

You have not three heals, if you install two of those chips you get 6, didn't test with more chips.

One chip uses the energy to get a small heal, an icon will warn you when you got the energy to heal you, you get energy with your impacts in the enemies.

The Full Protean armour set also gives you health regen.

don't use that control scheme, use default or layout 1. the only difference there is that on xbox controller dash is A, B is use the heal and layout 1 swaps those 2 buttons. I find it really easy where you hit I think it's right or left on the D Pad to swap thru the various heals / mod abilities.

There is one setting im about to screw with which is to make switching locked targets via the right analog stick instead of having to hold LT and move it. I can never seem to swap between multiple targets quick enough with the default scheme.
bug i used it even when i was being slightly electrecuted and it denied my ever using it
Also again haha ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up healing when i use it takes 3-5 seconds to even indicate it being damn used its supposed to heal instant not delay!
