Helpful Health Tip

[kakihara301]

I just found this out on my 2nd playthru and double-checked it on another one. I dont remember this EVER being mentioned, but, if you are playing on easy or normal combat difficulty, if Murphy's health drops below 40%, it will slowly regenerate back up to 40%.

Its a nice trick to use if you are low on medkits - just let yourself regen THEN use a kit! You will be at 90% instead of lower! Hope this helps somebody...

Edit:
Thanks to Lord Malachite and reconfirmed by me, this trick works on Hard Combat difficulty, too!

For Hard difficulty, if you are low on health and reach a save point, just kill yourself right after that, reload your last save and you'll start right there with 100% health again. It's a great way to save medkits for later and harder sections of the game where you need them most.

Yeah, I used this trick more than I'd like to admit to on my first playthru. Not many games do this, but I'm not complaining!

I can't speak for anyone else, but I just finished my Hard Combat playthrough tonight and I can confirm that Murphy would autoheal to 40% even on Hard. The only time I ever needed to spam First Aid Kits was during the final boss sequence.

Tried this this morning and I can confirm this works, too! Thanks for the heads-up. I edited my first post.

Exactly.

When you die and restart from the last checkpoint you were at, you get full health, not what you were at when you hit that checkpoint. Verrrrry useful if you get in a bind.
