Part specific status effects

	Head/Thorax Can't be fractured Destroyed: Instant death. Note that bleeding into the destroyed state and health reduction from stimulators does not result in instant death, but any further damage will.
	Right arm Fractured: Using items and searching containers is 50% slower than normal speed. Reloading, drawing, and aiming weapons takes 67% more time. Destroyed: Same as above, but additional damage taken will be distributed over the entire body's health pool at 0.7x the damage dealt.
	Left arm Fractured: Using items and searching containers is 67% slower than normal speed. Reloading and drawing weapons is 50% slower. Destroyed: Same as above, but additional damage taken will be distributed over the entire body's health pool at 0.7x the damage dealt.
	Stomach Can't be fractured Destroyed: Massively increased dehydration and energy loss, additional damage taken will be distributed over the entire body's health pool at 1.5x the damage dealt.
	Legs Fractured: Each leg fractured reduces your speed by 45%. Decreased jump height. Sprinting causes further damage to the leg. Destroyed: Same as above, but additional damage taken will be distributed over the entire body's health pool at 1x the damage dealt.

Destroyed parts healing

Destroyed body parts (except head and thorax) can be restored thanks to the CMS kit or the Surv12 field surgical kit, surgical kits restore a destroyed part to 1 HP; so their use needs to be combined with medkits to be effective. Destroyed parts that are restored with a surgical kit only have 45% to 60% (CMS) or 80 to 90% (Surv12) of their max HP for the duration of the raid unless surgery is performed again on that body part, lowering it further.

Off-Raid Healing

When outside of a raid you will passively gain health, hydration, and energy. You can use Medical items to heal and Provisions to consume as if you were in a raid. To start you gain 8 HP/Min, 1 Energy/Min, and 1 Hydration/Min. Your passive gaining of stats can be increased through upgrading Hideout modules such as the Medstation to increase health regeneration, Heating to increase energy regeneration, and Water Collector to increase Hydration recovery.

Therapist also provides healing to your character for a price after either dying or surviving with lost HP. For players at or below level 5 this service is free, otherwise this costs 25₽/HP and is cheaper than every medkit. A bleed costs 750₽ to heal and a fracture costs 900₽, again cheaper than the items required.

With fixed prices, the best value medical item is the Grizzly medical kit.

First Aid Kit	Current Price (₽) (Traders)	Health Points	₽ per HP (rounded up)
Grizzly medical kit	49,836	1,800	28
Car first aid kit	7,372	220	34
AI-2 medkit	4,149	100	42
Salewa first aid kit	23,162	400	58
IFAK individual first aid kit	27,202	300	91
AFAK tactical individual first aid kit	38,958	400	97

Death

After dying in a raid or going MIA you will be brought back to the main menu. Your health will be set to 30% and will passively be regained over time. If you die to suicide, team members, disconnecting, or without a firearm equipped your health will instead be set to 1%.
