Description

The Trauma Kit is GTA VI's premium healing item, restoring a large portion of health in a single use during the heat of combat. In a game where firefights escalate quickly and hospital visits cost money, carrying a trauma kit can mean the difference between finishing a heist and waking up at Pillbox South Medical with half your cash gone. It's the field medic's answer to Leonida's bullet-heavy lifestyle.

Design

A compact military-style first-aid pouch in olive drab or red cross white, containing bandages, hemostatic gauze, and a tourniquet. The kit is visibly attached to the character's belt or vest when equipped, adding tactical authenticity to the loadout.

Performance

Using a trauma kit restores approximately 60-80% of maximum health, with a brief application animation that leaves you vulnerable for one to two seconds. It's the most potent single-use healing item, outclassing painkillers and food by a wide margin but costing significantly more and occupying limited inventory space.

Customization

N/A - a consumable item with no variants.

Locations

Purchased at pharmacies and medical supply shops across Vice City, stocked at Ammu-Nation as a tactical accessory, found in ambulances and hospital back rooms, and included in heist-prep loadouts for major missions.

Trivia

  • The trauma kit is a new item category for GTA, bridging the gap between GTA V's instant snack healing and Red Dead Redemption 2's more deliberate health system.
  • Using a trauma kit in combat reportedly triggers a brief animation where the character wraps a wound - making timing critical.
  • Paramedic NPCs across Leonida carry trauma kits that can be looted after incapacitation.
  • The trauma kit may also revive downed co-op partners in GTA Online VI's cooperative heist missions.
