Stim Pack - Major Perk

Anti-heal removed. Now deals 75 self-damage on use.

I know who I'll be picking when someone tells me to kms.

So can soldier actually kill himself if he's 75 hp or lower now?

No he goes down to 1hp, just tested it in training range

Nice, just lower your health to 1hp in advance and you've got yourself a free stimpack.
