So I just found out this today,but you can use Advanced Polybiotic Medpac MK-2 in wz's. Is this an exploit? I think it is...it doesn't say on medpac that you can't use it in wz's and it isn't greyed out like adrenal is, but I think this medpac gives you more hp than wz medpac does. WZ medpac gives you 35% hp ,while this one gives you 44k + 11k hp over time (possibly more idk since it says something about scaling with ur lvl). I don't think number wise they are that far apart, but I still think advanced medpac gives you little more + the fact that you get 11k over time. It's not much,but it can be helpful at times.

I posted this to customer service as well,but they don't have Exploit category and they take weeks to respond and months to do something about it.

That medpac is subject to the trauma debuff in pvp meaning you get 30% less healing. I would recommend being in a pvp map and trying yourself.

The WZ medpac and the MK-2 have the same cooldown however, the MK-2 is also "once per fight" so if you're are in the thick of things, the WZ medpac will still become active after the cooldown is up, the MK-2 will not.

I just tested it and according to the tooltip, trauma is only 15% less healing now (maybe they changed that when expertise went away?). So that medpac heals about as much as the warzone medpack, very slightly more only if you get the max health from it.

So their response is just a joke. Sure I don't pvp all day every day for past 6 years and classes I play reguraly I don't really look much at my utility bar. 90% of time I play this game on autopilot mode, so yeah I don't know all things. And also of course people won't share everything, because in case something turns out to be an exploit, they wouldn't be able to do it anymore.

Why do you think it's an exploit? As far as I know you've always been able to use regular medpacks in warzones (oldtimers feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

Warzone medpacks give you the instant guaranteed 35% heal which is more effective the higher your hitpoints are.

Medpacks give you the rng instant heal (lower than the warzone medpack once you're over 130k hitpoings), plus the extra heals over 15s. Which is potentially higher than the wz medpack, but not by much, and takes time to kick in.

It's a toss-up which medpack is actually better overall for pvp.

The main advantage I find is that it's one less thing to have/change on the quickbar when you can use the same reusable medpack for pve and pvp.

(Note: you use the same stims for pve and warzones, it never occured to me to think there was a reason not to have the medpacks usuable in warzones either)

Because adrenals (not red wz ones) are not usable in pvp, I just thought this also wasn't usable. And i always just used wz medpacs from start of game. That and those red wz adrenals. And only time I really cared about numbers and gear was at start. 35% is 35%. If you look back in the day,when we had 15k-20k hp 35% was 35% of your highest hp (and when they raise hp bar again,you'll get better medpac as well) . I remember when I poped my stuff to get single deliverance 6k heal . Now it's just boring mindless gameplay.

But again, I think that if it's not wz thing,it should not be usable in pvp. Remove grenades and all that ****.

Ok, you can think whatever you want...

For example. I think they should return back self heal for shadow tanks as it was in 1.0 because other tanks can self heal on low cd.
