Medical Team

"Tier-1 paramedical teams are issued lightweight Infection-retarding suits. They dislike combat and work behind cover, such as team mates, etc. - Cryovat description."

Medical Team is one of the 5 Divisions available at the player's HQ, Outpost 826. Unlike the Blue Berets, Patrol Team, and Technicians, the Medical Team require Reward Points to unlock.

Medical Team units are effectively "side-grades" of their counterparts, Technicians. While the latter is cheaper and heals faster, Medics are far more utilitarian: they come with a built in 50% resistance to infection, can heal themselves without triggering their negative trait, and will not immediately execute their allies if they become infected. Additionally, when their negative trait is triggered, the player retains some level of control over the unit making them much safer to use in "high stress" situations.

Healing Light
''Medics automatically heal those standing before them. And themselves. Obviously.''

This trait is passive: medics can always heal others and themselves, even when their negative trait is active.

You First!
''Medics are trained to place their patients first. Even if it's in the line of fire.''

When You First! is active, the medic will attempt to move toward the nearest friendly unit and place them between the medic and any enemies. They can still be selected in this state and can even be issued move orders: however they will repeatedly attempt to override them, much like Combat Engineers when their negative trait is active.

Hidden Traits
Any unit under the medic's healing light will receive a 99% resistance to infection, making it almost impossible to be infected and slowing any active infections to a crawl. Medics are also Infection resistant.

Tactics
Medical Team are a necessary unit to keep the team alive. They can provide infinite healing at a slow but steady rate as long as they're alive. Medical Team need to be facing the target in order to heal them.

Trivia
