Good to know
- During the application time (3 s for a bandage, 5 s for a kit in Pre-Season 3), shooting or reloading cancels the heal.
- A heal is canceled by a deliberate combat action (shooting, reloading), but no longer by simply moving the camera or using the inventory (v1.3.0).
- You can heal during a reload: the heal then cancels the reload (v1.3.43).
- Both healing slots accept any medical item (v1.3.0).
- You cannot drive while healing (v1.3.43).
