Medkit not giving a full heal

I’ve had this happen on so many occasions since the new update. I’ll bring in a medkit with 16 or 32 charges and as it runs out, I’m left with a full progress bar of healing but still injured. I didn’t miss any skill checks, killer didn’t have the doctor perk to make it last less. It’s just not giving me a full heal.

    Noticed this as well, I had a yellow medkit with bandages + medical scissors but only got 1 heal out of it and didn't get the full second heal...

    I am noticing this aswell. 16 charges is always just short of a full heal.


    I am playing on Xbox Series X and since the update 16 charges isn't enough to get a full heal. Bar is full, medkit is depleted, but I'm still injured.

    Another survivor will come along and literally just touch me for a split second and I'm healed.

    Same. I played for the first time after the chapter release today, I was using yellow medkit with Bandages (8 extra charges) and Butterfly Tape (slightly increases healing speed). Fully depleted the medkit and it was not enough for the second heal, like it was 1 charge missing. It happened at least 5 times in different matches.

    Noticed. The bug 16+16 medkid = 31 heal is BACK.

    Just for sure... I healed myself without any great skillcheck or missed skillcheck. pure classic heal only.

    same situation for:

    brown medkid + 2 addons with 8 charges (=16+16=32=>2 heals)

    yellow medkid + 1 addon 8 charges (= 24+8=32)

    both situatios - 1 full heal and 98% heal

    Also happened to me. Used a yellow medkit with an 8 extra charges addon (24+8 = 32) and I could only heal once, it's like it had 31 charges instead of 32. If you don't get any great skillchecks you won't get healed fully.

    This happened to me with an Alex's Toolbox, which has 24 charges, enough to break 4 hooks, however, the fourth hook I went to break didn't finish. The bar appeared to fill completely but then the toolbox was depleted, despite having 6 charges left, and the hook did not break.

    We really need logs on this please, whilst I appreciate the comments showing how many people are affected by it - logs would be incredibly helpful.

    yes please, it needs to be the last match played as well - so when you didn't get the heal correctly, the logs from that match.

    ok, today we will try simulate situation. We should be 3 so we can use different medkits. I will upload logs ASAP

    I also want to mention Green Medkits aren’t giving the increased healing speed bonuses for yourself or others. I didn’t see a fix in the patch notes so I’m assuming this was not fixed today.

    Brown medkit founded in chest - 99% health state - Log attached

    Can't provide logs as I'm on Switch, but same thing here. Happened with a Yellow medkit + bandages and a Green medkit. Both times was left injured but with a full heal bar. Not every time, only started with mid-chapter patch.

    I'm on PS4 and it happens with the green medkits, I run with no addons. It seems that medkits are broken if it's 16 charges only even though that's considered full heal, I have to have someone tap me for full heal. this issue seems to have happened after the 28th to me. easily reproduceable bug, just use a green medkit.

    Wow the imcompetence is astounding.... Nothing in the patch adressing med kits yet Behaviour manages to ######### things up. Can't say i'm surprised... Thank god i stopped spending money on this game.

    Why do you need logs? Medkit with 16 charges simply just have 15...

    Same for me the medkid is consomed just a little diffore the full healing. I noticed the before a recent update, de medkit is not totaly consumed after a full healing, a realy tiny portion stay aviable.

    Have a nice day ;)

    No logs as I'm on the Series X but joining the chorus of "Medkits be broke yo".

    I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but both times it happened to me, I got a skill check as the medkit finished.

    I play Xbox one x and I’ve had this happen with multiple brown medkits as well as once with a green one. I’ve now had this affect many games . How do we report those games?

    Here's mine. Happens everytime I do not hit a great skill check, just normal heals. Brown medkit the last time.

    Here is another one and proof that I hit all skillchecks

    Also the Meg had adrenaline which did not activate, I don't know if it's something you can see on my end of the log.

    Brown medkits have this bug on Xbox One X. I mean devs only have to try it for themselves and see it won't give a full heal? I can buy them a console if they can't afford one 😀

    I cannot 100% confirm it, but it seems that

    • hitting a great skill check will obviously heal you fully since it advances the heal by some percent
    • the times I didn't get any skill check promts at all, I got a full heal
    • as soon as you hit a good skill check (and no great ones) you're left with an empty medkit and a 99% heal that leaves you injured

    So it seems like the good skill checks might not count as continous progress and give some tiny penalty.

    It's the same issue with brown, green yellow and event with charge addons

    Here is my log. Please note that it is NOT ONLY medkits. Every item is coming into the game losing a charge.
