Medical Kits (small):

Learn how to effectively use and develop medical items in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. This guide covers item acquisition, usage, and the role of chemists and doctors in your squad.

This section of the Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops walkthrough focuses on Medical Kits, specifically the small variety. While the provided source text doesn't detail the small medical kits directly, it extensively covers the mechanics of recruiting allies and managing your squad, which is crucial for developing and utilizing medical items.

Key Mechanics Related to Medical Items:

• Recruiting Allies: To effectively manage and develop medical items, you need allies. Soldiers can be recruited by knocking them out and dragging them to your truck or a cardboard box. Rescued soldiers, unique characters, and those found via AP Scan or passwords can also join your unit.
• Squad Management: Recruited soldiers are held in prison on the Squad Management screen. After a period, they join your unit. Having a soldier with the 'Politician' career speeds up this process.
• Career Roles: Certain careers are directly related to medical development and recovery:
  • Chemist: Works on medicine development.
  • Doctor: Increases life recovery speed for your squad.
  • Nutritionist: Increases stamina recovery speed for your squad.
• Cyber-Survival: This mode allows you to use your allies online via WLAN. Success in Cyber-Survival can lead to allies joining your unit or even gifting you items like the Stealth Camouflage. However, there's a risk of losing your soldiers, so strategic deployment is key.
