— In-Game Description

The Med Kit is a Consumable Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced to Battle Royale in Pre-Season, and then reworked in Chapter 5: Season 1.

Functionality

The Med Kit takes 1 second to start the healing process and is automatically removed from the player's inventory upon activation. While healing, the Med Kit takes 9 seconds to heal up to 100 Health, at a rate of 2 to 8 Health every 0.5 seconds. Healing will stop early if the player's health reaches its maximum limit. Interrupting the healing process will not restore the Med Kit, and the player will keep the amount of Health already healed. The Med Kit cannot be used at full health. It can be used while moving.

The Med Kit can be thrown by holding the Aim button and using the projectile arc to guide them. Once landed it will ping its location to squad-mates.

Stats

The Med Kit heals 2 to 8 Health per tick, up to 100 Health. Each tick takes 0.5s. The amount healed per tick increases after a predetermined amount of ticks.
It will heal 2 Health in the first 2 ticks, then 4 Health in the next 5 ticks, 6 Health in the next 6 ticks, and 8 Health in the last 5 ticks.
