How to Heal

Healing in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 primarily depends on Medicae Stimms, which can be found scattered across the battlefield. Learn more about how to heal effectively, including how to heal Mortal Wounds, where to locate Medicae Stimms, and other methods to restore your health in this guide.

Use Medicae Stimms

Medicae Stimms are the main way to restore lost health. When used, they restore about 30% of your maximum health on Average Difficulty or higher, with slightly more healing on Minimal Difficulty.

You can find Medicae Stimms throughout operations, so keep an eye out for them to stay in the fight longer.

Does Not Restore Contested Health

Contested Health, the white portion of your health bar that appears when you take damage, cannot be restored with Medicae Stimms. Contested Health can be however, recovered by dealing damage or executing enemies.

Deal Damage or Execute to Heal Contested Health

Contested Health is the white portion of your health bar that builds up as you take damage. You can recover this bit by bit by dealing damage to enemies or fully restore it by executing a staggered enemy.

However, Contested Health quickly dissipates, making it hard to recover. To maximize its recovery, it's a smart strategy to keep a staggered enemy ready for an Execute during intense fights.

Certain Class and Weapon Perks can also help you regain Contested Health faster or slow down its dissipation, improving your chances of staying in the fight longer.

Use the Melta Rifle or Multi-Melta to Heal Over Contested Health

When you have Contested Health, using an area-of-effect weapon like the Melta Rifle or Multi-Melta can heal you so effectively when hitting multiple enemies that it surpasses your Contested Health, often restoring you to full health. However, healing through this method does not remove the Mortal Wounds debuff.

This effect can also be triggered with the Plasma Incinerator and similar weapons, although it's much less reliable. Be aware that this behavior might be a bug and could be patched out in future updates.

Best Weapons for Operations

Use the Loadout Drop With the Bulwark Class

Using the Load Drop between key checkpoints in any Operation fully heals you when playing as the Bulwark Class. There are no additional requirements—just being in the Bulwark Class triggers the heal.

It's currently unclear if this is an intended feature, as it may be patched out or added to other classes in future updates.

Use Class Perks That Heal

Class	Perk
Vanguard	Unmatched Zeal Team Perk Melee Finishers of Extremis enemies additionally restore a small amount of Health for any Squad Member
Vanguard	Adrenaline Rush Signature Perk Melee kills of Majoris or higher enemies restore Health by 1%
Bulwark	Invigorating Icon Gear Perk When the banner is activated, all Squad Members regain maximum Contested Health
Heavy	Bonds of Brotherhood Team Perk Reviving a Squad Member restores them to full Health

There are only a few Class Perks that can actively heal, and they have very specific conditions to do so. The most consitent of these are the Vanguard's Adrenaline Rush which restores a measly 1% health for each Majoris-tier or stronger enemy you kill.

List of All Class Perks

Use Weapon Perks That Heal

Weapon Perk	Details and Available Weapons
Rapid Health	When your Health is below 30%, killing 10 enemies in rapid succession restores Health by 5%. Cooldown is 30 seconds. Available on: Auto Bolt Rifle, Bolt Rifle, Heavy Bolt Rifle, Bolt Carbine, Bolt Pistol, Heavy Bolt Pistol, Instigator Bolt Carbine, Occulus Bolt Carbine
Elite Health	When your Health is below 30%, killing a Majoris-level or higher enemy with Melee Damage restores Health by 5%. Available on: Multi-Melta
Instant Health	When your Health is below 30%, killing 3 enemies or more with one shot restores Health by 5%. Available on: Las Fusil

Weapon Perks offer solid health restoration options, though they only activate when your health drops below 30%. Despite this limitation, they're still valuable as they're relatively easy to trigger and can be the difference between dying or surviving a difficult encounter.

To activate these Weapon Perks more reliably, focus on increasing the Pierce stat for Bolt weapons. The Multi-Melta is also a great choice since it allows for consistent Executions on Majoris enemies, granting a 5% health restoration with each Execute.

How to Heal Mortal Wound

Ways to Heal Mortal Wound
Heal to Full Health With Medicae Stimms Revive With the Guardian Relic

Heal to Full Health With Medicae Stimms

Mortal Wounds is a debuff you gain after being incapacitated. Using Medicae Stimms to heal to full health removes this debuff.

Since being incapacitated while having the Mortal Wounds debuff results in death and a long respawn delay, it's best to use Medicae Stimms after being incapacitated to heal both your health and the debuff.

▼ How to Get Medicae Stimms

Use the Guardian Relic to Revive

Using the Guardian Relic that you can randomly obtained in Operations to revive heals you from Mortal Wounds upon revival. However, it does not restore your health to full, only bringing you to the default health level for a standard revival.

How to Get Medicae Stimms

Where to Find Medicae Stimms
Near Ammo Caches Across the Battlefield Inside Breakable Crates

Near Ammo Caches

Medicae Stimms are most commonly found near Ammo Caches or major checkpoints at key locations during each Operation.

Found Scattered Across the Battlefield

Random supplies, including Medicae Stimms, can be found scattered around the battlefield. Keep an eye out for these in various corners of each area, and be sure to share their locations with teammates by pinging any supplies you discover. This can help keep your team well-equipped during intense battles.

Found Inside Breakable Crates

In addition to random supplies scattered throughout each operation, stacked breakable green wooden crates can also be found, containing random supply items. These crates can be pinged for your team and destroyed with either melee or ranged attacks, making them easy to access during intense moments.
