Lore

GATE Compendium Entry

“

Soldier-medics grounded in traditions spanning more than two millennia, the Exsurgo are trained by the Order to operate under vastly more varied conditions than their conventional military counterparts. Exsurgo must be ready to provide care under any conditions imaginable. A new conflict may see them confronted with crystalline claw wounds, psychic assault traumas, razor tentacle injuries and a panoply of other barely conceivable harms. Until they have demonstrated this capacity, aspirants are designated as Refectio. Only when satisfied that a candidate has the requisite ability to both heal and defend under almost any circumstances, does the Princeps Medicus bestow the title 'Exsurgo'.

Gameplay

Behavior

Like other Order soldiers, the Medic can be observed either stationary or patrolling alongside other soldiers. They are hostile to entities, robots and the player.

If there are downed Order soldiers nearby (identified by their position on all fours), the Medic will rush in to revive them.

Combat Tips

Besides their ability to revive downed allies, the Medic's behavior is basically the same as Grunts, so the same tips apply - they're also susceptible to sharp damage, will periodically try to move away from the player and will also try to attack in melee if the player is within melee range, with their melee attacks being easy to dodge if the player moves back when their melee attack animation starts. Shields can be used to block their shots and their melee attacks. Sneak attacks using high-damage sharp weapons or using Power Attacks with high-damage blunt weapons can take them out in a single hit if aimed to the head and if the player has the necessary Stealth perks and a Scrapshot shot to their head at point-blank range will also often kill them in a single hit.

Drops

Medic Helmets will only drop when hitting Medic in the head with a blunt/heavy weapon, or shooting it off (the Makeshift Crossbow and Grinder do not work). Helmets can be knocked off even if the Medic is dead.
