Health Item Types
There are several types of health items that can be collected
to regain lost health or increase your maximum health points. These
are:
Stim Pack
|
Health Points per Pack
Maximum Health Points |
2
Unlimited
|
The Stim Pack always provides a two point upgrade to your
health point total. Often, Stim Packs are found in groups of three or more
and should not be overlooked in deathmatch. Collecting just one Stim
Pack, for example, makes the difference between death and survival after
being struck with a blast from the Railgun.

First Aid can be collected to recover lost health points.

maximum. Maximum Health can be increased by getting the Adrenaline.

to Maximum possible health points.

Mega Health
|
Health Points Per Item
Maximum Health Points |
100
250
|
The Mega Health is one of the most useful items in Quake 2
Deathmatch. Survival is the most important factor in deathmatch and
collecting Mega Health at least doubles your chances of living through
combat.
Each Mega Health item will add a whopping 100 points of
health to your total up to a maximum of 250 health points. Every
second after you've grabbed the Mega Health, your health point total is
diminished by one point until you've reached your regular maxium health
value (usually 100 points).
Collecting Adrenaline and Stim
Packs can increase the current health value your points will be dimished
to as the Mega Health deteriorates.

Adrenaline
|
Health Points Per Dose
Maximum Health Points |
100
Current Max +1
|
The Adrenaline will always bring your health total back to
its current maximum and permanently add one to your health point total.
In deathmatch, the Adrenaline is most useful when health
is exremely low to bring you back up to your maximum value.
In single play, it makes sense to always collect any Adrenaline
you find to slowly increase your maximum health points. There are
enough Adrenaline packs in the single player game of Quake2 to bring your
maximum health point total over 120 points by the end of the game.
