Health, Damage and Healing

How do you heal in Stillskin Forest?
Eat food (25% each) or use a First Aid Kit (75%). Health also regenerates slowly on its own, at 0.6 per second, but not while you are downed. After any hit you get 0.45 seconds in which further hits are ignored, so a crowd can't take your whole bar in one instant.
Taking damage
A hit produces a physical hit reaction, an impact sound, a red edge on screen and a health bar that flashes and jumps. Only two infected may swing at you in any 1.6-second window, and there is 0.45 seconds of grace after each hit. Below a third of your health, music and ambience go muffled.
Holding an item when you're hit wears it slightly. See Durability.
Healing
- Food: 25%, 0.6 s to eat.

- Natural regeneration: 0.6 health per second, not while downed.

Reduce flashing
