Personal Medkit

In Quake 3, the Personal Medkit is a holdable power up that restores the user's health to 100, no matter how low it is. It respawns every 60 seconds after it's picked up. When used at full health, it will give a small 25% boost up to 125 maximum to decay back down to default value of 100. As a visual indication of healing, player will be surrounded by a dazzling red light scanning them from head to toe when used.

Strategies

 * The Personal Medkit can easily change the tide of a firefight. When your health reaches critical level (25 or under), use it. It'll usually give you enough of a boost to take out the enemy that was giving you trouble just a second ago.
 * Personal Medkits are also be useful when you need to heal up and can't find and Medikits. As stated earlier, use it when your health is at critical level or managed to throw off your opponent by a dodging maneuver, or it'll be a waste.
 * Alternatively, you can use the Medkit at 100 health and it will boost you up to 125, afterward the health decays normally back to 100. This only should be attempted if player planning to enter an area with lots of respawn spots for recently dead players or a high traffic area near a high grade item to a popular weapon.
 * When you expect enemy to possess this item try to initiate with a rapid fire weapon first then quickly switch to a single fire weapon of your choice to burst them out. When you have this item yourself, try to maintain distance from enemies, use long ranged weapons and refrain from chasing them to avoid getting ambushed or air juggled.

Trivia

 * Its appearance is that of a syringe containing an unknown red fluid.
