Healing while running in a chase

Is this possible or have I just played against a cheat lol? I won’t lie, it confused me. I was chasing a wounded survivor and after a minute or so they became healthy again mid-chase.

    Yes - either with this add-on on a medkit: https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Anti-Haemorrhagic_Syringe

    Or this perk: https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Renewal

    There may be others I'm forgetting, but the syringe is the most likely candidate. You'll know if it's a syringe if their medkit suddenly disappears from their hand and they heal 16 seconds later as it consumes the medkit entirely. This could also be https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Styptic_Agent though, so sometimes you have to weigh up hitting them or not.

    It is also possible that they 99'd their heal (kept their heal bar to 99%) and finished it off mid chase with a medkit/self-care.

    Also to add onto what Jarky said, the Syringe is affected by healing speed modifiers. So if someone has 100% bonus healing speed from say Botany Knowledge and Circle of Healing, then it will only take 8s to heal instead of 16s. So sadly it isn't set in stone always taking 16s. After the match you would have to check all potential healing modifiers to gauge how long the Syringe would take to pop.
