Team Fortress Classic Hints

Why isn't my armor/health very high?

  • 1 of 3: Each player class has a preset maximum armor and health limit.  This limit varies from class to class.  See individual player classes for more info on how much armor and health each is allotted.  Unlike Half-Life Multiplayer, your character's health and armor levels are not based on percentages.
  • 2 of 3: Also realize that most levels start you out with only a portion of the maximum amount of health and armor you can attain.  Grab armor packs and healthkits before you run out of the respawn room.
  • 3 of 3: If you are looking for additional health, call for a medic [default "Z"]. Medics can overload your health.  The additional health lasts only temporarily and begins counting down once the medic steps away.  It will stop once it reaches your character's maximum health limit.
