The Medic perk is by far the most important to have as a member of a squad in Killing Floor 3. Without it, your team will struggle to survive the waves.
There are several Medic archetypes, and here’s the best build you can follow, which focuses solely on healing and supporting the team.
Best Medic Skill Build in Killing Floor 3
Passive Skills
Doctor’s Bag – Syringe Bags give two syringes each, and using a syringe repairs armor integrity. Armor becomes useful in difficult waves like wave 5 or 6, where a hit or two from a boss or hordes of Fleshpounds and Scrakes could deal 120+ damage. It is important that you stay alive because your team will rely on you for healing, making armor crucial to your survival. Healing Hands is also good, but it seems more useful if you have a team that communicates and isn’t just a random stack.
Pill Mill – Pill Mill increases your maximum ammo capacity. It is the best passive if you are using the LF-85, since if you get more ammo, you’ll also have more sustain or healing for your team. Stronger Prescription is better if you are playing any other weapon apart from the LF-85.
Symbiosis – Symbiosis gives you the ability to heal yourself while healing others. In crucial situations, you don’t have enough time to use a syringe or throw your grenade. Symbiosis lets you focus on others, and you are kind of invulnerable if you are always healing someone else. This is even better if you use a healing over time mod on your weapon. Painkiller is more for coordinated play, where you are focused on healing a Ninja tanking bosses.
Social Distancing – Social Distancing gives you the ability to revive allies using your healing, which is an unbelievable utility. If you get this, there’s no point in getting Healing Hands too. Strength in Numbers is also good, sometimes even better, with the right team. Taking less damage is always good.
Chemical Reaction – Chemical Reaction helps you get more healing and damage overall. Since you are always shooting enemies to refill your healing ammo, you have a chance to release a cloud on every kill. The cloud does biological damage (Toxic) and interrupts enemies while healing allies in the area. Damage Plan is a better support overall as it boosts the damage of your teammates. You’ll want to stick a healing over time effect on them and constantly heal everyone, even if they are full, to apply the effects. It is a much harder playstyle, so most people opt to just use Chemical Reaction.

Throwable Skills
Gas Expansion – Gas Expansion increases the radius of your Biotic Grenade, which is great for clearing and healing.
Anesthetist – Anesthetist applies Enfeeble affliction in the area, which should provide more utility compared to the increased healing from Pulmonologist.
Urgent Care – Urgent Care allows you to pause and heal the bleeding out health from downed teammates. If it reaches the max, they’ll get revived. If you are taking this, Pulmonologist gives more value, but you always just want to be aware of downed teammates and throw your Biotic Grenades immediately while luring all the enemies away, especially with the Anesthetist effect.
Gadget Skills
Health Benefits – Health Benefits adds another massive heal when the Sanctum expires. Since everyone should always stick inside the Sanctum when a Medic drops it, it helps you sustain everyone else when it eventually expires.
Outreach Center – Increases the blast and energy field radius. You are mostly just in it for the increase in energy field radius.
Field Hospital – Field Hospital increases the healing of your Sanctum. Steroid Injection is the offensive choice if you want to buff your team’s damage.
Energy Cycle – Energy Cycle increases the gadget energy recharge rate for allies in the Sanctum. It is more for coordinated party play. You can even have two or three medics that stack on these Sanctums and make them overlap. Storm Shelter is also decent for more sustained healing.
Resuscitator – Resuscitator revives all downed allies in the blast radius, as well as gives another burst of healing to allies who are alive.
The Medic is one of the strongest perks in the game, just because of all its additional abilities to revive teammates.

Best Medic Weapon Build and Loadout in Killing Floor 3
The best weapon for the Medic is the LF-85, and it is not even close. Since you can refill your healing ammo quickly by shooting enemies, you almost have an infinite supply of healing for your team.
The LF-85 is expensive, so you’ll still have to use the other weapons like the Uzi or MP5.
For the LF-85’s mods, your playstyle can change just because of the ammunition mod.
The Biomorphic Boosted Battery completely rehauls the weapon. It basically halves your healing ammo, but your healing applies slightly higher healing, as well as adding a healing over time effect. You’ll want to keep applying healing over time effects on your teammates, and it even activates the damage buff from your passives and keeps them on longer.
The Efficient Battery Formulation is a more all-around choice for the ammo mod. As for the other mods, you want the following:
- Cold Fusion Converter
- Enhanced Foregrip
- Red Dot Sight
- Secondary Battery
- Overclocked Receiver
These mods overall help you sustain your ammo, increase your accuracy, and improve recoil. Cold Fusion Converter is important, as it changes your damage to Cold, giving you the ability to freeze key enemies like a Bloat, Fleshpound, and Scrakes before they cause havoc.
The Medic’s gameplay doesn’t solely rely on healing teammates. You’ll want to mix things up because you need to damage enemies to refill your healing ammo using the LF-85.
