  A better way of contextualizing this perk is that it teaches bad habits.

  A lot of new players are told to start with Claudette because of this perk, and they learn to rely on it way more heavily than they should, because it's a useful second chance perk when you're just learning the game.

  It's not until later that it really sinks in that Self Care is slow, inefficient, and usually a poor tactical decision. Then they have to unlearn the bad habit.

  Medkits, Pharmacy, and especially Bond are way better healing tools when you know what you're doing. And, being injured isn't always a death sentence once you've gained some experience.

  So yeah, I blame this perk's popularity on bad advice, which I am guilty of giving too.

  I agree. I started using it at starting ranks thanks to noob3's video smh....and now its like a bad habit. I drop it if i have a good medkit but am too nervous to drop it all together. It was brought to my attention that it wasnt a necessary perk by another streamer. I trust this persons advice more than any other (bc hes intelligent and very knowledgeable abt the game). Now that inner strength is a thing im dropping it completely. Thanks noob3...thats um sarcasm lol.

  in Self-Care is not a good perk. Comment by SourPatchJen83 October 22, 2019
