Last update: 11 May 2016
Combat Medic is a doctor, whose main weapon is an (1) assault rifle . Apart from that, he also has (2) a handgun and a (3) medical applicator to heal and rejuvenate his allies. When you press the F key, you will initiate his special ability, which is health regeneration.
Valuable hints
The assault rifle on his inventory is the standard issue weapon for short and medium distances. The pistol, just like in the case of each of the classes, does not stand out with anything extraordinary, when it comes to its usefulness and use in the battlefield. The third item on the inventory is the medical applicator, which is very useful for healing the wounded allies and rejuvenating those that were killed. If the dead have not yet managed to respawn, as a new unit, they will receive a message with the question about whether they want to be rejuvenated. Just like every soldier, the medic has also been equipped with a knife, which is perfect for melee. It only takes two stabs with the knife to kill any unit (apart from Max).
The medic's Super ability ensures him with the speedy regeneration of health, in situations of danger. This holds true for the health bar only and does not include the armor, which regenerates spontaneously, without any assistance. What is interesting, also health is subject to spontaneous regeneration, although this process is slow and it is active only if your faction owns a special area, known as the Bio Lab. This unit has no interactive ability that could be bought in the character development panel.
The above information can well be used against combat medics, to thwart their plans and actions and to survive, as a result.
