MedWings – Medical Rescue Operations.
“Medic is the way”
Medics in StarCitizen are a vital part of the experience.
Medical gameplay in Star Citizen is a vital aspect of survival and team coordination, especially as the game continues to expand into larger-scale missions and deeper role-playing opportunities. Players in medical roles can treat injuries, heal teammates, and even revive critically injured players on the battlefield. This feature adds depth to gameplay, allowing players to act as dedicated medics on both planetary surfaces and in space.
The medical system ranges from basic field aid to advanced healing and regeneration processes, with tools available in various forms, including medical beds and specialized equipment. Ships like the Cutlass Red come with onboard medical facilities, allowing medics to treat and stabilize injured players in the field.
“Medic is the way”
a short overview
Medical gameplay in Star Citizen is an essential part of both solo and team-based survival, allowing players to manage and treat injuries on the go or in dedicated medical settings. It introduces a range of tools and mechanics designed to stabilize, heal, and revive injured players, each offering unique uses depending on the severity of injuries and the environment.
MedPens
MedPens (or medical pens) are compact, single-use devices that deliver immediate first aid to players suffering from minor injuries. When activated, the MedPen quickly injects a healing agent that stabilizes injuries and restores a portion of health, making it especially useful in emergency situations or combat where time is critical. MedPens can heal superficial damage to limbs or the body and provide enough treatment to get the player back on their feet temporarily. However, they don’t address more severe or specific injuries, which require advanced tools or medical facilities.
Medical Gun (CureLife)
The medical gun, also known as the CureLife Tool, is a more advanced option for healing and stabilizing teammates. It offers targeted medical intervention, allowing players to treat specific injuries or apply different levels of healing, depending on the injury’s severity. The medgun can stabilize a downed player, heal more significant wounds, and apply customized treatments like reducing pain or reversing drug effects if someone has been overdosed by MedPens or other substances. It requires players to calibrate the dosage and choose appropriate healing modes, offering more precise care than the MedPen.
The medgun is especially valuable for players in field medics roles or for larger group missions where injuries may vary widely in severity. It’s also essential for reviving incapacitated players by restoring them to a stable condition, allowing them to move or receive additional medical care.
Advanced Treatment and Facilities
In more severe cases, players can use dedicated medical facilities onboard certain ships like the Cutlass Red or at hospitals on major planets like Hurston or microTech. These facilities provide a full range of medical treatments, from bone fractures to full trauma care, ensuring players can recover fully. The game’s medical system incorporates a “death of a spaceman” mechanic, where players who sustain fatal injuries can respawn in medical facilities but may experience lasting effects, adding realism and stakes to medical gameplay.
Usage Tips
- Carry MedPens in your personal inventory for immediate relief in combat or exploration scenarios. Especially red, green, orange and purple Medpens. As you need the green and the orange if you have a t2+ injurie. As from T2 injuries onward you cant use the MedGun on yourself anymore or drive vehicles/ fly ships.
- Use the medical gun for situations where teammates are incapacitated or require specific, high-dosage healing.
- If a player is critically injured, consider transporting them to a medical facility for full recovery.
This system is expected to continue evolving, adding further depth and realism to the medical roles and making it a critical support role in the expanding Star Citizen universe. Watch my full medical tutorial here: https://youtu.be/5yUPChW0b38









There is an unknown amount of Citizens we rescued from Patch 3.18 till 3.22. The list starts in the end of March 2954 and shows our effort as MedWings – Medical Rescue Operations.
