How to Heal for Mass Effect Legendary Edition

How to Heal

The main way in which you can heal in Mass Effect Legendary Edition is through the use of medi-gel, a substance that can be randomly found by searching the containers throughout the world or as drops when you defeat enemies. Keep an eye out for containers that have red markings and called 'medical kits' as these always hold medi-gel. To heal in the original Mass Effect game you simply press the 'Triangle' button on the PS4, 'Y' button on Xbox controllers, and 'V' on PC.

Healing in Mass Effect 2 and 3 is slightly different, in these installments collecting medi-gel is basically the same except instead of a button press to use it you must wait behind cover after taking damage until your health is replenished. You can increase the effectiveness of healing items such as medi-gel by putting upgrade points into medical research and spec in the Medic class direction. When medi-gel has been upgraded it can heal more HP and instantly restore shields. There are other ways in which to heal, but these are based on what abilities you acquire during the game.
