 * v1.4007:


 * Becomes more useful with the added endurance boost.
 * Becomes more inconvenient to use.

Availability

 * A stock item available from more scientifically oriented Traders.
 * Discovered in no Safes, a few Stashes and occasionally as Item Placements.

Uses

 * v1.30013 - 1.4005:

Trivia

 * Obviously Scientific medkits are useful, during any stage of the game.
 * Various preventative measures become more available (improved Armour, health-restoring upgrades, Artifacts worn, or better offensive capabilities)
 * Standard key-bindings for the game specify a "Use Medkit" placeholder.
 * This will utilize a suitable medkit dependent upon the player's health status. If the player wishes to retain rarer medkits for later in the game - they should be suitably stashed for safekeeping.
