Health Freak

Health Freak
Class	Technical Ability Perk
Attribute	Technical Ability
Tier	Pro (9)
Levels	2
Requires	Glutton For War

Health Freak is the centre of the supply branch in the Technical Ability tree. The first level speeds up the recharge of health items and grenades, and the second adds a health item charge and makes the recharge far faster out of combat. A large part of the upper tree is bought through it. Builds that lean on items take it as soon as the gate opens.

Effect

---

The recharge speed applies to both health items and grenades, so one perk improves the two things the branch is built around.

The second level is where the real change is. An extra health item charge is a permanent increase in how much healing V carries, and the out of combat recharge means arriving at the next fight fully stocked rather than part way through a timer.

Level	Effect
1	+8% recharge speed for Health Items and grenades.
2	+1 Health Item charge, +150% recharge speed for Health Items outside combat.

How to Unlock Health Freak

---

It sits behind the Pro gate of the Technical Ability tree. Glutton For War comes first, and both levels are worth buying since the charge arrives on the second.

Character Builds

---

The build is a Technical Ability build that leans on items and explosives, which is the broadest shape the tree offers. Any weapon works, since nothing here reads a weapon class.

Buy both levels as the Pro gate opens, then Field Medic and Demolitions Surplus, then Pyromania at the Phenom gate for the damage. The extra health item charge on the second level is a permanent increase in what the build carries, which is worth more than any of the recharge figures around it.

Notes

---

Everything bought from it narrows to one case. Borrowed Time covers running dry, Coming In Hot covers having no grenades, Demolitions Surplus adds a grenade charge, Field Medic speeds up the use of an item, and Pyromania opens the explosives line.

Glutton For War below it ties the same recharge to kills.
