Foxhole Guide - Medic 

Don't forget to commend your medics ;)

No more ambulance ambushes if they're leaving the front, I think we've all learned our lesson. E: One additional bit for carrying wounded soldiers for revive; If you don't have any items equipped ( 1, 2, 3), you can open your inventory (Tab) and click the Wounded Soldier icon to drop them directly. Also the hotkey to drop carried items is Shift+V I believe.

I used to only play medic so here's some notes I've gathered: My "routine" is to first take a * Medic fatique * 1 Tkit * 1 Mkit * 1 Bandaid * 1 Plasma Put on fatique, equip tkit and mkit, "load" them and your pistol. Then pull 10 bandaids and 5 trauma (if less experienced, take less), unless there is a shortage or if I know for a fact that the field is full of med supplies. Also pull 2 additional clips of 9mil ammo. This will be useful, I promise (plus everyone throws theirs away anyways). When on the field (excl. small OPs), you can be agressive. You shouldn't just stay back, you have to learn when to push to save a soldier and when not. Getting revived from a difficult position is a moral boost for certain (there's actual military stuff that can be read about the moral importance of medics.. Ok doesn't apply the same way but still). Combat medicing definitely does take some time to learn though, but remember to use covering fire (voice chat) for a less risky recovery (even from a frontline foxhole), and be mindful whether to revive someone in the spot or to extract them further away. If you revive where they were downed, once you have healed them, they will be a covering fire aspect to your reatreat. Keep moving around. A lot. The front will be large and quite often ppl don't care enough to come to you, you gotta go to them. Again, the morale is an aspect here as well. This is also where your pistol becomes important. The enemy doesn't expect a medic to have a pistol, so quite often they simply get scared and run away when you pull it out. Sounds stupid but you'd be surprised how many times it has happened. They are not expecting a firefight, so by surprising them you gain some time for your retreat. Remember to scavenge. If you have over 15 bandaids in your inventory from scavenging, drop some for your fellow infantrymen. They pick them up easily, and I'm ready to argue it makes enough of a difference. Remember to survey and follow the amount of medics on the front. Fronts don't usually need over 3-4 medics, so sometimes you should just pick up a rifle from a dead body and start playing as infantry, if the situation so needs. Most importantly: Use your head. You are not just a medic, you are also a soldier. You shouldn't just stay back and loiter, make a difference (but ofc don't die, duh). Help your tanks as close infantry support, pick up a rifle or grenade every now and then if needed, keep looting and scavenging and giving scavenged loot to those who need it. Use. Your. Head. There's some other things too but this is my personal experience. Edit: Just for bragging rights, I got the game in May 2020, so not a complete newbie ;)

As someone who has never played as the medic role after 1,100 hours and want to get into it more these next couple of wars this information was very helpful! Thank you so much!

you made it, it's finally done!!!

Don’t know why I’m watching a guide for a game I haven’t played or seen anything from in like 3 or more years but I enjoyed it

Hey Feerk, thanks for this video. IMO there are a couple of easy improvements you can make to your videos that might result in improvement to Foxhole in general: - You should teach new players to avoid standing on the road, such as when you show them refueling their ambulance. They should do it from the side of the road that's not going to result in them becoming roadkill. - You should teach players to submit items they don't need directly to base inventory, instead of the top left window.

Newbie/returning players - in to amb. don't take more then 30banda and 20plasma + 100bmats and hammer for repairs!

Additional tips: 1) A body weighs 55%, meaning that if you keep your weight under 44%, you'll remain at 99% or below and will still be able to run [SHIFT] while carrying a wounded soldier. The lower the better. 2) If you see a friendly medic saving someone, they most likely don't need your help. Running over to heal/revive only makes you all a bigger target. Enemies will sacrifice themselves to take out two medics and a wounded. 3) Guns save more lives than trauma kits. Without a doubt the #1 thing you can do to keep allies alive is to guard their rear/flank. An SMG is a fantastic weapon to prevent a bayonet rush from the rear. Even if your aim is garbage, shooting will alert your allies to the incoming threat. Pop a few shots off and fall back screaming if you need to.

im a field medic, i carry SMG 2 medkits , nades and smoke.

you forgot to mention that you can heal injured crewmen of vehicles from the outside of them, like they don't have to exit the vics first

if you see "abandoned" ambulances near the frontlines, leave them as they are. I unlocked my ambulance near the frontlines for any medic to grab some medical stuff..... and of course someone drive the ambulance a bit far away and locked it! 😡

nice

Nice basic training stuff but are you planning on doing anything advanced? And you didn't mention that you can't climb with Wunded Solder "equipped" (from trench for example) but you can with Critically WS.

I play what i call my "pissed off medic" i get the outfit, the kits, and one set of supplies...i like a bolty with a bayonette and dont have a pistol...maybe a frag grenade if im feeling really grumpy.

*Promosm* ☝️

Medics, please, for the love of god, stop competing with other medics for revives/ healing. If you see a medic closer to an injured person or downed player, let them take care of it. I have swapped off medic countless times because other medics keep trying to bud into my business. It’s genuinely so annoying because it just wastes resources and time so I end up running off cause I dont want to waste my resources if this brainless medic is gonna try to take over anyway. It’s not a competition, we are all here to help the team, buzz off and rez someone else. It’s so annoying When yall do this you also over crowd the area and make it more likely everyone will die if any shooting starts or a nade is thrown
