"Finish healing 2 health state(s) of other Survivors while using the perk Botany Knowledge and a med-kit. (Complete this challenge in a single trial.)"

Bad enough that immediately after selecting this challenge I went against a Plague and all the injured survivors just healed up with the wells. Then the next match I spawned beside a Ruin totem which I immediately cleansed, and was face-camped to death by a salty Ghostface. Then the next match is against a Leatherface where nobody was ever injured, only healthy or dying (Leatherface tunneled unhooked survivors, so still no healing allowed).

Then I look at the med-kits to see how many charges they have. The Brown and Green only have 16 charges, so I equip the Yellow which has 24 charges and attach an addon for an additional 12 charges. I went to heal survivors up during the next match and my med-kit ran out of charges 3/4 the way through the second heal! WHAT??

I need to have a Purple Ranger Kit equipped with extra charges just to complete this challenge??

    So I go and equip a Purple med-kit, throw on extra charges, and burn a White Ward.

    The killer has Franklin's Demise.

    Quitting the match before getting hit robbed me of the item.

    I hate this game...

    That's just you being unlucky

    (also i heard that charge add-ons are bugged.... soooo)

    I did this using Empathy, Botany Knowledge, Ace in the Hole, and Plunderer's Instinct. I ran out of medkits trying it, so had to find them on the map after quite a few tries (and failures). Could probably swap out Plunderer's Instinct for Pharmacy, since it took about 10 chest searches across multiple games before I came across a Medkit... at least Pharmacy will guarantee you an Emergency Medkit right off the bat.

    Hard to do anything with folks playing so scummy with teammate DCs/Suicides and facecamping. I wish you luck!

    Bring We'll Make It also. Make sure you get the unhooks and it'll be done extremely fast. Charge add-ons are glitched but this is the quickest way to do it. Also maybe bring Streetwise to keep your medkit for longer

    I brought a purple med kit with Streetwise and botany knowledge. Then put charge add-ons hoping they would work (they didn't). I managed to get the challenge after 3 tries. I would have gotten it faster if it wasn't for altruistic survivors.

    The medkit charge addons are bugged atm, if you can, run self care and streetwise with botany, it will extend its charges

    I did it with pharmacy and a brown med kit. No add ons. Easier than blinding a killer while they carry someone in red ranks

    I don't see anyone mentioning this, but it also specifies, "finish" healing 2 health states, so you can also just heal them most of the way normally, and then finish them off with the medkit.

    For anyone interested here's how to do it somewhat "easily":

    Perks:

    -Botany

    -Plunderers/Pharmacy

    -We'll make it

    -Empathy

    Item: any medkit

    Basically hide until someone gets found, get close with empathy, then go for the unhook-->profit, if the medkit runs out plunder a new one (a bit luck based but I got my challenge after the 2nd try) Helps if you tell the other survivors in the pre game lobby what you're trying to do.

    Hope that helps!
