How to Get Healing Items in Dead Rails
The first thing you should know is where to find healing supplies. In Dead Rails, the Doctor’s building is your main source for medical items. You can spot these buildings in settlements throughout the map. Inside, you’ll find two main healing items for sale.
- Bandages cost only $10 in-game cash and restore a portion of your health when used. They’re cheap enough that you should always have several on hand.
- Snake Oil is more expensive at $35, but it completely restores your health no matter how injured you are. It’s worth saving up for Snake Oil before tackling more dangerous areas.
You don’t always need to buy these items. Sometimes you can find bandages when looting houses or after defeating zombies. It’s still good to know where the Doctor’s building is so you can restock when needed.
How to Heal Yourself
Using healing items in Dead Rails is pretty simple. When you’ve taken damage and need to recover, open your inventory and select either bandages or Snake Oil. Once equipped, hold down the left mouse button (the heal button) to use the item.
Bandages work instantly but only restore part of your health. Since they’re cheap, you can use multiple bandages to get back to full health. Snake Oil is more powerful, instantly bringing you back to full health with just one use.
You might wonder if there are other ways to heal besides these items. There’s actually a special weapon called the Vampire Knife that heals you when you attack zombies. This knife can be found at the castle in the 38,500-meter mark of the map, inside a coffin on the top floor.
How to Revive Teammates in Dead Rails?
When playing with friends, someone is bound to get overwhelmed by zombies eventually. Luckily, death isn’t permanent in Dead Rails if you have teammates who know how to help.
To revive a fallen friend, you’ll need bandages. Walk up to your teammate’s body with a bandage equipped, then hold the left mouse button or Press E while looking at them. You’ll see a healing animation, and after a moment, your friend will be back on their feet ready to continue the adventure.
There are a few important things to know about reviving. Your teammate needs to stay in the game after dying. If they disconnect or leave the server, you won’t be able to revive them. Each revival uses one bandage, so make sure to keep extra for this purpose. Also, you can’t use bandages to revive yourself – you’ll need friends for that unless you want to spend Robux on self-revival.
Staying Alive in the Wasteland
Healing and reviving in Dead Rails isn’t complicated once you know how it works. The most important thing is preparation – always have healing items ready before exploring dangerous areas. With friends who know how to revive each other, you can turn what would be game-ending moments into minor setbacks.
Remember that teamwork makes survival much easier in Dead Rails. A group can protect each other, share resources, and revive fallen members. Even the toughest zombies become manageable when you have friends watching your back and bandages ready to patch everyone up.
Now that you know how to heal and revive in Dead Rails, you’re ready to explore deeper into the wasteland. Stay safe out there, and don’t forget to stock up on bandages!
