Items, consumables, healing in PUBG PUBG Guide and Tips
Last update: 19 August 2019
Besides several dozens of weapons, grenades and types of ammo, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds also has items that don't serve as weapons. This chapter contains information about all the items from this category.
Among those are healing objects (Bandage, First Aid Kit, Medkit), booster items (Energy Drink, Painkiller, Adrenaline Syringe) and one purely utility canister with petrol (Gas Can). The canister function is quite obvious - it is used for refueling the vehicle (right-click on it when you are inside the vehicle) and the healing and supportive objects are described in more detail in chapter "Wound treatment and boosting the character".
There's a total of seven such items in the game. Below, you can look up the info on all usables and healing items:
Name | Damage | Effect |
Bandage | - | Restores 10 health points in a few seconds. It can cure up to 75 health points. |
First Aid Kit | - | Restores 75 health points. It can cure up to 75 health points. |
Medkit | - | Restores all health points. It can cure the character to full health. |
Energy Drink | - | It strengthens the character by adding 40 Boost points - Boost points make the character automatically regenerate health and move faster. Health regeneration can restore the health points of the character up to the maximum. |
Painkiller | - | It strengthens the character by adding 60 Boost points - Boost points make the character automatically regenerate health and move faster. Health regeneration can restore the health points of the character up to the maximum. |
Adrenaline Syringe | - | It strengthens the character by adding 100 Boost points - Boost points make the character automatically regenerate health and move faster. Health regeneration can restore the health points of the character up to the maximum. |
Gas Can | - | Used to fill the vehicle's fuel tank. All you need to do is activate the item in your equipment when the vehicle is not moving and it will be refueled. |
Using these items, you should keep in mind that:
- You have to collect all boosting items that you see. You can never know when the meds will come in handy (especially the MedKit). The stims are useful at all times, but they become really valuable during the endgame, when additional regeneration or movement speed can mean the difference between life and death.
- Adrenaline Syringe is only available in supply drops. The rest of the items can be found anywhere in the world.
- If you're not planning to use a car, there's no point taking the gasoline with you in Gas Cans. They take up space in your equipment, which might as well be utilized for something useful.
- If you enter a building and see a MedKit right in the middle of the room, don't immediately jump ahead to grab it - see if it's not a decoy. Some players leave such items in order to distract others and get an easy kill.
