How to heal in Helldivers 2

Luckily, healing in Helldivers 2 is incredibly simple, and only requires you to have some stims in your inventory. If you have at least one stim, press up on the D-pad on PS5, or press V on PC. You can always rebind this if you want to set it to something more comfortable if you’d prefer, such as a mouse button. For us, we have changed heal to the ‘E’ button on the keyboard, as seen below.

You can hold up for four stims at a time. If you run out of stims, there are a couple of ways you can get more. Firstly, by using the resupply stratagem. Just as you can get more ammo, you can get more stims this way. Secondly is by finding them in the overworld. You may occasionally find some stims at Points of Interest along with ammo and samples, so keep an eye out.

How to heal teammates in Helldivers 2

If you’re the only responsible one in the group, then the onus is on you to keep the others alive, and thankfully you will be able to heal them up, and it’s just as easy as healing yourself. Just walk up to your injured teammate until a prompt appears. This will tell you to press X on PS5 or press E on PC. Do so, and your partner will be healed.

That’s everything you need to know about how to heal yourself and teammates in Helldivers 2. If you’re after some more guides, why not check out the best Helldivers 2 Warbonds.
