Patch Kit

The Patch Kit is the foundational healing consumable in Marathon, restoring a moderate amount of health and serving as the standard tool for mid-run recovery after taking damage. It comes in stacks of three, making it an efficient use of backpack space relative to the healing it provides across multiple uses. As a Standard rarity item, it is widely available through looting and pre-raid purchasing, ensuring that almost any runner can keep a supply on hand for the most basic recovery needs.

Patch Kits are best used between engagements rather than mid-fight, where the use animation creates a moment of vulnerability. Their moderate heal amount is well-suited for topping off after a light or moderate damage exchange, while larger health deficits call for an Advanced Patch Kit or Pangea Kit instead. Every runner should carry at least one stack of Patch Kits as a baseline, and they pair naturally with Shield Charges to provide a complete health and shield recovery solution for standard raid situations.
