Maintaining Tommy's health is paramount. Unlike modern games with regenerating health, Mafia: The Old Country requires you to actively manage your health bar. Health Kits are the primary way to restore health. These are typically found in specific locations during missions, dropped by certain enemies, or occasionally found in the open world. You can carry a limited number of health kits, so use them wisely. There are no other major consumables like food or drink that directly impact gameplay. Always prioritize finding cover and eliminating threats before attempting to heal. Running out of health kits in a prolonged firefight can quickly lead to mission failure. Some missions might offer opportunities to fully heal at specific checkpoints or safe zones.

Consumables:
- Health Kit: Restores a portion of Tommy's health. Limited carry capacity.
