How to Heal in Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 might have a couple of years on its sleeve, but despite all that, new players will not find the game in any way to be easy. On the contrary, the sheer amount of enemies and psycho creatures, along with the minions, will definitely be more than what was bargained for.  In order to survive all of this, players need to recover and heal fairly quickly so as to progress without spending too much time on any level.

There are plenty of healing features in the game. Some are well hidden inside descriptions, whereas others are fairly obvious to find. In this guide, we will discuss how players can heal in Borderlands 2.

How to Heal in Borderlands 2?

Players can loot healing syringes to receive a quick health-burst depending upon the type of health syringe found. Additionally, players can also directly purchase these healing syringes from the Dr.Zed Healing Machines. These healing machines are located all around the extensive maps.

There are items known as ‘Health Now’ that have the ability to heal 25% of the player’s current health instantly. Another one is the ‘Rejuvenator,’ which is famous for immediately regenerating player health for 20 seconds. These are some of the more popular methods to heal in Borderlands 2. They are fairly common to find in the game.

Now let’s get started on the ones that are a little bit harder to find!

Other Ways to Heal in Borderlands 2

In Borderlands 2, players are also able to heal by developing skills for their characters. However, not all characters can make use of this strategy, nor does it apply to all abilities. Players will have to play with certain characters like Maya, Zero, Kreig, and Gaige in order to get self-healing.

For each character, there is a passive healing ability linked with their hero power. For instance, Maya, the Siren can heal with her ‘Sweet Release’ ability. Having this item on her harmony skill tree allows her to steal damage from enemies successfully. Maya first traps the enemies within an energy sphere, otherwise known as ‘Phaselocking.’ Maya converts their stolen damage into healing ability that can also be used on other teammates.
