For the people doesnt count as healing?

Was trying to do this challenge. It literally says heal in the description.

    The funny thing is, I was playing Freddy the other day, and I ran Nurse's Calling. Apparently waking up counts as a healing action, because I saw their aura whenever they did it.

    How does waking up count as healing, but using For The People doesn't? I want my WGLF stacks when I use For The People.

    Yeah its weird...Also I didn't know too for freddy wake up action. I don't play him much but almost always run NC and never see someone Wake up with. Its like I always wondered why NC don't work on mending (wich is consider by the game as a heal since even Inner Strengh healing consider it a health state).

    But you become broken

    Gross healing 1, Taxing on your character 1

    Net Healing 0 just equivalent exchange

    Sounds like a bad inconsistency regarding how they define terms. The healing action awards BP based on the ticks that happen as the meter fills; For the People just straight-up exchanges a health state, so there is no meter-filling and hence no reward. The under-the-hood mechanic ought to be a "fill the healing meter immediately and apply Broken to the other player" deal, but it sounds like that's not how it works.

    Those challenges don't count any sort of "insta" heal. You can't use a syringe to heal someone and you can't use For The People. Yes For The People counts as healing, but not for those challenges.

    Yeah, probably the code in this perk just tells the server to set that Survivor health state to *advance one health state*. Would be cool if it worked.

    It also won't work with Second Win since obivous you didn't "charged" it with a healing bar. It should work on my opinion, could be a cool build to use.
