A Health Pack in Halo CE

The UNSC uses the Health Pack as the standard combat wound treatment, which is used by all combat personnel, ranging from Marines to even Spartans. Each MedKit contains an amount of biofoam, a stitch kit, polypseudomorphine, self-adhering antiseptic battle dressings, and other useful field dressing components.

Health Packs are standard requirements aboard many UNSC ships for medical events. Health packs are often seen on corridor walls at regular intervals. There are also two health packs located in a Pelican. Both of them are on each side of the door to the cockpit. They seem to be more rectangular in shape and are inaccessible to the player.

The Health Packs are only present in Halo: Combat Evolved. In Halo 2 and Halo 3, health regenerates with an integrated Biofoam dispenser within the new MJOLNIR Mk VI. In Halo:Combat Evolved, the Health Pack will fill the player's health, but will have no effect on their shields.

Though a scratched concept for Halo 3, this equipment shows the internal components of a Health Pack, helping bring realism to its healing effects.

Trivia

  • There is an unexplainable glitch that exists. If a player is standing on a health pack, and hit by a tank shell, they will survive. A tank shell has enough power to kill a fully shielded player two times over, so the numbers don't add up.
  • When you pick up a Health Pack, you will become momentarily blinded by a white flash. However, this goes away instantly if you go through a teleporter.
