Health skill — Escape from Tarkov
Table of contents
Physicalup to level 51
Good health helps you recover faster after returning wounded from a raid, improves the chances of avoiding fractures, and reduces energy and hydration consumption.
How to level it up
It cannot be trained on its own: it grows along with Endurance and Strength, which pass part of their XP to it.
A skill “gets tired”: if you train the same action for a long time, the XP for it drops to almost zero. After a pause of about 200 seconds the fatigue resets, and the first point after the rest comes with a 30 % bonus.
Quests requiring the skill
- Health Care Privacy - Part 4 — level 4 (Therapist)
- Athlete — level 10 (Therapist)
Hideout requirements
- Medstation, station level 2: needs level 2
Radar and leveling
- Fewer deaths means more time in raid: skills like Perception and Endurance level up while you are alive and moving.
- Valuable loot highlighted by price and smart clusters speed up looting — Attention and Search level up faster.
