Does Health Regen?

[SpaceyTornado]

I can't find a clear answer on this in-game or out and I've been looking. The hint section for medkits just says they're helpful in a pinch and googling just get's me articles on the game with no relevant info.

health does regen. it's hard to gauge with nothing to measure by (HUD etc) but it will 'slowly' restore. but recent damage can lead to a quick death if you get hurt repeatedly.

Just watch the ebb and flow of the red fringe on the screen. If it increase, you are dying. If it recedes, you are healing.

[Hint: Don't be too quick to use a Medkit. Most of the time, all that is required is to wait about a minute and the damage will clear up by itself.]

No regen on Ranger mode iirc.

funny. i've been close to death on Hardcore and then been injury free for awhile and then gotten injured again and it seemed like i'd been healed (re-gen'd). maybe i'm wrong. i've only played RHC once.

I've just been confused, because I'm only playing on Normal and I'll get badly hurt and just sit on my phone for a few minutes waiting to heal but I'll still have that red all around my screen.

I dont think this game has health regen. Even if the red borders fade youre still at low health. Noticed this a lot on hard mode where I'd wait for the borders to recede a bit but Id basically die in one hit if anyone even looked at me funny

This is what I mean with how I've been searching for an answer to this. I've spent a lot of time looking through the game and online for an answer, but all I've seen is conflicting reports of it does or doesn't and it is or isn't based on selected difficultly.

I really don't care either way if there is health regen or not, I just want to know, so I can stop wondering if my health is gonna go back up or if I should use a medkit every time I take damage. Really seems like an oversight that the game doesn't explicitly say (at least clearly anyway) anything about health.

In my experience the health doesn't Regen. Played on normal too.

I've been injured with blood on the screen, then traveling around for a long time and nothing changed, one spit of enemy kill me.

So I realized it was better to use medikit as soon as possible

Health is supposed to regenerate slowly on all but the hardest difficulties (hardcore, ranger).

Thanks. Seems like the whole circus was in blackout until just recently.
Or maybe my, "I have a simple question. Does health regenerate?" was just too much.
I know I know, I forgot the KISS principle. Poor souls must have been confused witless.
