How to Heal Squads in Infection Free Zone

When they’re not going far away to scavenge for resources, your squads are your survivor’s last line of defense. Figuring out how to heal squads in Infection Free Zone shouldn’t be as complicated as it is, considering how important they are. That’s especially important when there is more than one way to do it.

Healing Squads With the Medbay in Infection Free Zone

The most efficient way to heal a squad in Infection Free Zone is by using the Medbay. This method doesn’t consume resources, like First Aid Kits does. The drawback is that the Medbay heals squad members slowly and requires them to stay put until their life points are fully recovered.

To build a Medbay, you first have to research it in the Research Center. Of course, you’ll also have to build the Research Center. The Medbay can be very useful during the mid-game, but you will only unlock it after a few in-game days.

Once you have discovered the Medbay through the Research Center, you’ll be able to build it on any house in the game. I prefer developing the Medbay inside a small structure. This goes double if you’re at the start of the game since you’ll never fill a large building with injured people.

How to use the First Aid Kit to Heal Squads

If you don’t have a Medbay and don’t want to go through the long process of building one, you might still be able to heal some of your badly injured squad members by using a First Aid Kit. The problem is that medkits are rare and can only be found by scavenging abandoned buildings. You’ll only be able to manufacture your own later in the game.

To use a First Aid Kit, open the squad menu in the top right corner of the screen. Select the squad you want to heal and make sure it has a First Aid Kit in its inventory. Finally, drag the kit onto the portrait of the squad member you want to heal. You can tell how injured a character is by looking at how much of their portrait is covered in blood.

Unlike healing squad members through the Medbay, using a First Aid Kit permanently consumes it. Those healing kits also need to be transported by characters manually, with each kit occupying one of the four inventory slots that each squad has. To equip a First Aid Kit, select a squad, and then click on the Exchange button. Click on a building (a Warehouse or one of your HQs) and drag the medkits into your squad’s inventory.
