Level the Health skill for hideout and key quest requirements with this guide to levelling strategies. Health is part of a unique subset of Tarkov skills that level by improving other skills (strength, endurance and vitality) which provides multiple methods to optimise the levelling process.

How To Level Health
Health increases as you earn experience points in endurance, strength and vitality which all have levelling methods available.
I recommend players focus on levelling strength or endurance as these are powerful skills in their own right and are easier to level than vitality.
An often overlooked strategy to levelling health is to take advantage of the Therapist’s, An Apple A Day quest which provides 2 levels of health and should be completed at health level 8. This is an easy quest that requires 400,000 Roubles and will allow players to reach the required level 10 for quests noted below.
Health Requirements (Quest & Hideout)
Health in Tarkov is used for:
- Level 2 health to construct the level 2 medstation in the hideout.
- Level 4 health to complete the Therapist’s quest Health Care Privacy – Part 4.
- Level 10 health to complete the Therapist’s quest Athlete.
Benefits Of Health Levels
Health provides the following PMC benefits:
- Decreases chance of fractures
- Decreases energy consumption and dehydration rates while in raid
- Damage absorption (Elite)
The health skill provides quality of life to your raid experience with less fractures which reduces the need for healing items or an inconvenient fracture during a fight. The benefits of lower energy consumption and dehydration are also convenient as you can raid longer without bringing or finding provisions.
The elite health skill benefit of damage absorption is currently not implemented and there has been no documented plans from BattleState Games to introduce this yet.
