Medics and Healing the Unconscious

[Doc Holliday]

My first run through S2 has been with a Medic main character for the Allies side. I dig it, but what I can't understand is that it seems impossible to revive a fallen comrade.

 

I've got most of the medical tools down and even play with some of the drugs from time to time (my character, I mean, no me personally, heheheh) but I have yet to figure out how to rouse an unconscious comrade. My wasted buddies are absolutely unselectable once they're down. Is my Med skill not high enough for the good stuff? (I'm 13th level) Am I missing some equipment (Pheonix Down, anyone?)?

Unfortunately, unconscious characters require a bit more medical attention than your field tools can provide. You're right. One they're down, they're out of action for the duration of the combat. You'll have to finish without them.

 

If you're playing on Easy, they'll heal up some when you leave the mission area. If you're playing on Hard, they'll still heal a little bit, but you have to physically pick them up before you Leave, or you'll have left them behind to die.

 

It's rough, and it's frustrating when it happens, but on the whole I like the way it works; adds an element of challenge and caution.

 

Also, don't forget to pick up whatever your fallen brother was holding in their hands; just like your enemies, whatver they were holding drops on the ground when they fall, and if you don't pick it up, you can't come back to the mission area for it.
