Tips for successfully being a medic?

Recommended Posts

Anyone got any? :P Want to try my hand at it after next time I die. I want to get my humanity up and help other players. I mostly play solo. Im not really sure how to start, thinking head to cherno, get food, water and medical supplies and then start getting close enough to players to offer my assistance. From my experience with the game thus far, all I can see ever happening is getting killed.

Talk to someone from the RRF or the TMW, they can probably point you in the right direction.

Do not randomly approach people in game to offer assistance, you will just die over and over. Looks for rescue requests on the forums and on reddit.

Most medics do not travel alone. If you really want to try the lone wolf medic routine, talk to MikaelM, he's probably the most successful with that thus far.

Ask members of Trusted Medics of the Wasteland (TMW) about bodyguards, or ask Walking Militia, Chernaurus Quarantine Force (CQF), or Chernaurus National Defense Force (CNDF) to provide an escort. Most survivor groups, particularly the well organized ones, are happy to lend a hand.

Use Stealth to close gaps, don't run in the open.

Put MEDIC in your name, so people on nametagged servers are less likely to shoot you (many won't care and will anyhow).

Do not hold a weapon. There is a small minority out there that does not track and kill unarmed players unless they do something wrong (zombie train, stare, etc), but most will kill you anyhow.

Do not wear camo or ghillies. People won't even check to see if you are a medic, they'll believe you are an aggressive traveler from the north and put you down hoping for an AS50 or M4A1 CCO SD.

Use cover, don't start communications in their sightlines. If they don't respond or respond with a monotonous "Friendly" without any feeling or emotion in their voice, they are just busy... Lining up their sights with your head.

If someone tells you to run away, do it.

I feel those are just fairly common sense, but I added them to the thread anyhow. Have fun and good luck.

Maby roll with a "body guard", and play unarmed yourself ...

- post your body gard in a vantage point, covering you.

- Approach saying you are unarmed and here to heal / help.

- Tell them to lower their weapon, or simply not look directly at you.

- If thay do, your body guard should criple (shoot the legs) / knock unconcious.

- Tell them that if thay dissobay once more, thay are dead and repeat that you are only there to help.

I will be happy to disable them with my AS50 so that you can administer medical assistance.

I actually need medical assistance (I am out of supplies) ...

Wouldn't mind the help, and maby roll with you for a while as a body guard ?

(I know, I am a bandit ...)

He was kidding. If you're hit anywhere with an AS 50, you're instantly killed. Speaking of which, where do you find mags for that damn thing? I hate shooting it because of ammo scarcity.

"Yo dawg imma heal ya and save ya and if you don't obey imma swing my hatchet at ya and my pall here is gonna pop a cap in yo ass"

That seems about right.

I think I know he was kidding about the As50 ... anyone here knows that it's a 1hk no matter where you shoot.

And ammo is found:

- 10rd mags at barracks and general military look

- Nato at crash sites I believe. and it's 5 per clip, but an ass load more damage per bullet

You guys obviously have never seen a medic get killed by the person he is trying to help ...

If you have a body guard to cover you, you risk less.

It's all about trust, however my trust goes into the guy covering me, and his weapon.

Haha !Sostronk coward ;)

I'm not gonna add any more points here, just that I'm one of these "if unarmed, I dont take the shot" so if one day u run to me unarmed to gimme blood, I'll let u come brother !

[Edit] Howevar, one of my squad mate is a "I shoot everyone, no matter what" soooo.... Yeah like u all know, it's all about player's mind and the awckward fact is that you will find out until u hear bullets bursting the ground around you... Pretty risky job tovarish !!
