health pack

Restores player vitality

A health pack is an item in video games that restores a character's health or hit points when collected.

The term reflects gaming's tendency to package abstract benefits as physical objects—a glowing box, a medical kit, a floating heart.

I'm almost dead, I need to find a health pack.

Also called a health kit or med pack.
