Role Overview
Medics have the unique ability to revive wounded allies — an incredibly powerful skill when used effectively. Being able to revive an injured comrade saves them having to trek back from a deploy point and ensures momentum is kept. Because of this ability, the Medic is one of the most important roles in the game. Once a soldier has been revived, you’ll need to apply a bandage to get them ready for battle.
As your role is vital and unique, it’s generally wise to hang back once a firefight begins. If you go down, it’s more likely your unit will too. Watch and listen for incapacitated teammates, but be wary of rushing straight in. Let them know you are on your way and take your time. Use smoke if need be.
Another reason why revival is important is that it negates the Manpower loss that would occur should the injured soldier give up. A Medic will keep your team moving with revivals, smoke cover, and extra bandages to heal team members.
Why Revival Matters
A revived soldier is back in the fight immediately — no spawn timer, no walk from a deploy point, no lost momentum. Every successful revival is a soldier the enemy thought they’d removed from the equation.
Revival also negates the Manpower loss that occurs when an injured soldier gives up and respawns. Manpower is a Commander resource — repeated losses drain it and limit the Commander’s ability to call in reinforcements and abilities. Every revival you complete is a direct contribution to your team’s resource economy, not just the immediate fight.
Strengths
- Only role that can revive downed teammates
- Negates Manpower loss from soldier deaths — direct impact on Commander resources
- Smoke cover for safe revives and unit movement
- Extra bandages to heal teammates beyond their own supply
- Sustains pushes far longer than a unit without a Medic
Weaknesses
- Must hang back during firefights — reduced offensive contribution
- High-value target once enemy identifies you reviving
- Reviving in the open is often fatal; requires patience and positioning
- Unit survival is heavily dependent on yours — your death has outsized consequences
Best Playstyle
Hang back once a firefight begins. Your job starts when others go down — not before. Watch and listen for incapacitated teammates, identify a safe approach route, communicate that you’re coming, and move carefully. Use smoke to break line of sight before reaching a downed soldier in an exposed position.
Don’t race to every casualty. A rushed revive in the open kills two soldiers instead of saving one. Patience is the Medic’s most important skill.
Once the immediate fight settles, move through the position and top up survivors with bandages. Keep the unit at fighting capacity before the next push.
Teamwork Tips
- Announce your position when moving to a casualty — “Medic on the way, hold on”
- Use smoke grenades to cover exposed revives; don’t attempt open-ground revives without them
- Apply bandages after every revive — a revived soldier at low health is not a combat-ready soldier
- Stay close enough to your unit to reach casualties quickly, but far enough back to survive the initial volley
- Coordinate with your Officer on push timing — move with the squad, not ahead of it
Recommended Loadout
Revivals, smoke grenades, and extra bandages are the core kit. A reduced primary for self-defence. Specific loadout options will be confirmed and added here after launch.
Advanced Tactics
- Smoke placement: throw smoke between yourself and the known enemy position before moving to a casualty — not at the casualty’s feet. You need the screen on the enemy’s side, not yours
- Triage priority: in a mass casualty situation, revive the players most likely to immediately contribute — an Officer or Machine Gunner back in the fight is worth more than a Rifleman at the edge of the position
- Hold the line revivals: during a defended point, reviving soldiers in place means the point never goes uncontested — each revival keeps the cap ticking in your favour
- Resource awareness: remind yourself that each revive you complete preserves Commander Manpower. In tight matches, that economy matters — treat every revival as a contribution to the team’s macro, not just the immediate squad
