What to know
- Healing is mostly performed with Support class gadgets, like the supply bag or active abilities.
- Approach an injured teammate and deploy a supply kit (PC: “X”, Console: “Up” on D-pad) to heal them.
- All classes can revive, but Support/Medic roles do it faster and better, often with added health bonuses or effects.
- Passive health regeneration occurs, but healing gadgets are much faster and more effective, especially during firefights.
Battlefield 6 puts an increased emphasis on teamwork, making healing teammates essential for squad survival and challenge completion. Here’s an up-to-date, step-by-step overview of how to effectively heal others in the game.
How to heal teammates in Battlefield 6
Healing can occur naturally over time, but using Support tools is crucial when speed and continuous combat are factors. Here’s a step-by-step guide you can follow as the Support class or Combat Medic:
Step 1
Equip the Support class (or ensure your character has the proper healing gadget, e.g., Supply Bag or Defibrillator).
Step 2
Monitor teammate health/status. Look for injured teammates (their health bar will indicate missing health, and they may call for help).
Step 3
Approach the injured teammate and deploy healing using:
- PC: Press “X”
- PlayStation: Press “Up” on the D-pad
- Xbox: Press “Up” on the D-pad.
Wait nearby as the healing takes effect. Teammates will regain health while within the supply bag’s radius; you’ll see progress if the healing is working.
Step 5
For reviving downed players, hold the interact button (generally “E” on PC, “Square” on PlayStation, “X” on Xbox) to revive them. Using a Defibrillator speeds this up; a fully charged revival gives more health upon standing.
Step 6
Consider using Restock Allies or similar active abilities to increase healing rate and radius in intense situations (use “R1+L1” on PlayStation, “RB+LB” on Xbox, “Q” or Mouse Wheel on PC).

| Mechanic | Who Can Use | Heals HP | Revives | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supply Bag | Support | Yes | No | Fast, area-based healing |
| Restock Allies (Active) | Support | Yes | No | Boosted healing and resupply |
| Passive Regeneration | All | Yes (slow) | No | Recovering health out of combat |
| Defibrillator | Support | No | Yes | Quick revive with full health |
| Revive (Basic) | All | No | Yes | Slower revival with partial health |
How healing works for each class
While any player can revive downed squadmates by interacting with them on the ground, efficient and rapid healing is done by the Support class and its Combat Medic path. The healing process includes both reviving and restoring lost health, distinct from passive health regeneration.
Healing isn’t just for survival—completing healing-related challenges requires active participation as Support. For weekly or assignment-based challenges (e.g., “heal 5000 health with Support class”), progress only counts when you heal actual teammates, sometimes just squadmates (depending on the task). Rank requirements (usually level 20+) may apply for some healing challenges.
