health packs

In-game restoration items

Health packs are restorative items in video games that replenish a character's health when collected or used.

They typically appear as first-aid kits, medical supplies, or glowing pickups scattered throughout game environments: I'm low—grab that health pack before the next fight.

The term extends to similar healing items regardless of their in-game appearance.
