Managing your health is critical in Far Cry 2.
- Health Syringes: These are your primary means of instantly restoring a significant portion of your health. You can carry a limited number, so use them wisely. They can be purchased from weapon dealers or found as loot.
- Malaria Pills: Absolutely essential for managing your malaria infection. As detailed in 'Getting Started', these prevent debilitating attacks. They are acquired through 'Underground Missions' or purchased from weapon dealers after completing specific objectives. Always keep a stock of at least 3-5 pills.
- Field First Aid: When your health is critically low, you can perform a field first aid animation (e.g., pulling a bullet out of your arm, resetting a broken bone). This restores a small amount of health and stops bleeding, but leaves you vulnerable during the animation.
