Each Field Medic has its own "healing" meter. When healing teammates each time heal applied on friendly player the meter increases by healer's heal amount (heal amount depend on the weapon and level, from +15 points for HMTech-101 Pistol at level 0 up to +30 points for Medical Syringe at level 25). When meter filled, i.e. has 10 points on it, it resets and player receive additional XP reward. The meter does not become zero but instead begin with a leftover from the previous healing cycle. For example the player who had 7 points on the healing meter and then added +15 more points by HMTech-101 Pistol's healing dart will get XP twice because two cycles will be completed: cycle 1 completed after adding 3 more points starting cycle 2 with 15-(10-7) = 12 points, 12 > 10 so cycle 2 also completed, next cycle begin with (12-10) = 2 points on the healing meter. Field Medic can build up its healing meter from multiple teammates, the meter assigned to perk not to the certain friendly player.

Actual Stats

Perk Notes

• Damage modification (skill): Battle Surgeon skill affecting on-perk weapons (including Knife). Zedative skill affecting all toxic damage causers. Damage ROUNDED.
• Passive (Bloat bile resistance): Unlike Berserker (with Resistance skill) which resists to all forms of toxic damage, Field Medic's resistance applied exclusively on Bloat's puke attacks.
• Passive (Syringe recharge rate): With each next level amount of the time it takes to fully recharge Medical Syringe or Healing Darts decreased by 8% (base recharge time / 1.08, base recharge time / 1.16 etc.), up to 200% at level 25 (on top of the base 100% recharge rate). This allows to recharge syringe up to 3 times faster.
• Skill (Acidic Compound): Actual DOT scale is 0.15 of weapon damage, however upon converting damage type into toxic, initial damage being halved making it x0.075. Damage type - toxic. DOT damage ROUNDED UP. DOT significantly increased by Zedative skill (x100 DOT damage multiplier).
• Skill (Adrenaline Shot, Coagulant Booster, Focus Injection): Buffs apply even when player's patient is at full health, buffs also apply at the player him/herself when self-healing. Furthermore, the player with the Symbiotic Health skill buffs him/herself each time when healing a teammate that lacks some health (healing a teammate that has full HP will buff that teammate but not the player).
• Skill (Airborne Agent): Essentially explosion emitted from the player location resembles the explosion of Healing Grenade.
• Skill (Zedative): For the duration of ZED Time this skill allows player to apply DOT on ZEDs by damaging them with on-perk weapons and also drastically increases damage dealt by toxic damage types.

Strategy

As a Field Medic try to focus on healing and buffing. While you can be an effective "trash killer" with your shotgun and assault rifle don't forget that there are dedicated perks for it.

Think of your team: it recommended to stick up with the "left" skill tree if you play co-op. While you might want to have better combat capabilities for yourself keep in mind that there are perks which will do this joy more effectively. Your buffs to their health, damage, speed and resistance will be vital for them!

Having Crossbow in your loadout will help you and your team with the Scrake takedowns. It has enough stun power to immobilize Scrake even as off-perk.

While it might feels unnatural, as a Resilience medic you might want to stay at 50% HP if you planning to improve your armor durability. The reason is that damage to armor calculates after your HP resistance hence the lower your health - the less damage armor takes. But don't forget that armor does not protect you from sonic attacks and falling damage.

Trivia

• According to the character's favourite weapon lines, Reverend Alberts and Rae Higgins are both the Field Medics of the team.
