Anyone have suggestions on how I can rack up some heal points? I'm trying for my silver assault badge (10 heals IAR, 15 hrs w/medic hub) but I'm having a heck of a time getting 10 heal points in a round...much less five. Now that you can't toss out packs and have people grab them for a heal point it takes forever to get a single one! My idea is to hop onto a titan on either defense or attack and walk around healing people, but this isn't working too well so far. Anyone get this badge yet and what are some of your ideas on making this happen? Thanks folks.

Go into a 16 slot server which has 64 sized maps and usually the round takes more then a hour so you will ahve the cahnce to get 10 heals !
And of course try Citymaps or u should go into a "No vehicle" INF only server !
Good luck.

I got it on Cerbere Landing. It's a pretty good map, just run around with the heal hub out all the time. If you're almost out of hub, drop it and wait for a new one to spawn. Repeat and you'll get it eventually.

Assault Badge only requires 20 kills with the kit, nothing about heals.

The Medic Badge you need 10 Heals and 10 hours holding the HUB, best bet for that would be to unlock the Advanced Hub and just follow the largest group of people you can find, though I'm yet to get it myself, so maybe there is a better way.

Ah yes you're right about the numbers, I'm mixed up. Cerebre landing, huh? I'll have to give that a try...

I've seen long firefights in Camp Gibraltar, I wasn't assault much then but if I was I would have surely had a lot of heal points...and revives probably, lots of snipers too.

It all depends on how things go, but generally I think Titan attack/defense should work best. Just aim for getting heals the entire round, and hope the enemy doesn't destroy your titan too quickly, a long round gives you a better shot naturally. goes for all badges ;p

Landing = infantry only 90% of the time, very few people can use the walker well, and the cars are just AR rocket targets.

I just got my vet heal on the belgrade map. Just follow your team mates around and drop the crate when you get to a flag or firefight.

and that isn't a titan map

i got mine on camp gribralter, i wasnt even trying for it... didnt even know i was eligable for it, and i got it. i just dropped health packs where people needed them. so much action goes on in that map heal points are easy to get.

Yeh i had my 15 hrs with medic hub before id even got the basic heal (hadnt bein tryin to get it), but i was on Cerbere Landing and i got both my basic and veteran medic badge in the same rond. I placed med-hubs at choke points for my troops and ran round with it out as often as i cud when i actually tried for the badge. Cerebere Landing has helped me get the badges ive found the hardest to get: Medic Badge (heals), Knife and Pistol badges.

Shoot your friends in the foot, then heal them.

I got basic in Fall o' Berlin, Veteran in Gibraltar. Veteran was a bottleneck at the... Well... Bottleneck flag. For Expert? Hell, the footshot thing would be viable really...

The better question is, how does one get 55 teamwork points in one round without padding? Jesus.

When the enemy breaks into your titan core and you have 10 guys defending it, a well placed medpack can get quite a few heal points. Accidentally shooting comrades in the leg with the pistols can also get quite a few heal points.

Gibraltar is perfect, just spawn where the action is You can´t fail

Edit: And don´t bother about helping your team in any way your only concern should be to spam those medpacks, that´s why it so retarded with all those badges people just running around mindless and don´t care about anything else than the next shiny badge to put on the shelf....

Cerbere Landing, Camp Gibraltar, and Belgrade are the best maps because of the infantry orientation. If you squad up and stick together, you can get your veteran heal quite rapidly, as well as getting any revives that come along your way.

Camp Gibraltar, Cerbere Landing, Tunis Harbor and Belgrade in that order for has given me the most healing points.

You should have the Upgraded Healing hub unlock for this to be a less painful badge to get.

I got my Veteran on Camp Gibraltar. I got is a squad leader and leading a full squad. So I could yell at my squad mates to wait for me to heal them. I was also on Ventrilo so I could holler at others that were on the channel.

When I came up on some severely wounded defenders/campers. I would drop a med hub with them, and then I would get quite a few healing points while I was in a firefight or running to another flag, so you are optimizing your healing time by having one hub being in use, and having your 2nd hub being mobile held in your hands to heal up your squad and others around you.

All of the infantry maps have plenty of cover to hide behind once they have been shot. I have found that Tunis Harbor has a higher population of snipers, and thus you have a lot of really wounded infantry that got shot once to the body.

Cerbere Landing also has plenty of snipers, especially at the first flag, and Church as well as the Command Centre.

For Titan maps, if you're defending place a hub in one console hallway to heal there, and go to the other one and hold out your hub to heal your soldiers there. Again maximizing your healing time by healing to places at once.

If you are attacking, then some places to drop a hub is about a few metres from one of the entrances. The defending team will spam grenades and AR rockets at the entrance. Move to the other defended hallway and manually heal your mates there. You will get tons of healing points this way.

+1 karma would be appreciated if you felt that this advice was helpful to you.

Defense TITAN. Now, it depends entirely on the specific round, I managed to get it on the 1st occasion I tried for it, if there isnt much of an enemy attack on your titan, then go attack there's. But getting it while defending is much better. Now, theres always two fight's, the left and the right, unless theres a huge nade war going on, my advice would be to leave a pack on the lesser intense side, and go round with the pack in hand on the other. Should rack them up twice as fast, and as you say your barely getting 5, well there you go, using this tip you can double whatever you are currently getting.

Again, it depends entirely on the given rounds situation, if theres 'hee-haw' going on in ur titan, get ur ass over to the enemy and help out there. Hate my self for saying this but be patient, you may die a hell of a lot doing this so be prepaired to have a shit spm and k : d at the end of it

Good luck
